There is unrest in the PR Office. Having received word that Princess Leia has been brought aboard the Death Star, Wilson takes to his keyboard to craft the perfect PR release. Meanwhile, united by their mutual appreciation, Sharpe and Green concoct an idea of their own…
Boredom has engulfed the PR Office. Intent on avoiding a year’s backlog of filing, at all costs, Sharpe has created the ULTIMATE work-avoidance scheme…
Firstly, here’s “Party Rock Cantina Band”, 100% guaranteed to be the only thing good ever associated with the band LMFAO:
This video is especially fun if after you’ve viewed it, you imagine a reality in which the band LMFAO are actually transported to the Mos Eisley Cantina, where their hideously garish outfits/hairdos immediately insult several of the locals and get them into a limb/head-amputating bar fight of some description.
Now, we’ll be the first to admit that we do some terrible things here in the Galactic Empire, like making all of our original Stormtroopers speak with a horrible bad Kiwi accent. [Emperor's Note: if you're going to grow 60,000 clones, do NOT choose their accent based solely on the fact that it will be funny hearing them say "Fush and Chups" (Fish and Chips) and "Sex" (Six).]
But one thing’s for certain: we’ve never done anything even 1/16 as bad as allowing the band LMFAO to exist, let alone be incredibly successful. The fact that a song featuring the lyrics, “Nonstop when we in the spot, booty movin’ weight like she on the block, / Where the drank? I gots to know, tight jeans, tattoo ’cause I’m rock ‘n’ roll” has had more than 450+ MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE boggles the mind. What do those lyrics even mean? Did Yoda write that? Is it a riddle? Was somebody just having a stroke, or a mental breakdown, or a stroke while having a mental breakdown, and saying things and the band LMFAO decided to put it to music? Is it a riddle? This is one of life’s greatest mysteries, people.
And just when you think it’s bad enough that the band LMFAO exists, somebody plays “Party Rock Anthem” over the Death Star P.A. System and this happens:
Sigh. Stupid LMFAO. Stupid Stormtroopers. Luke’s Death Star trench run can’t come soon enough.
The PR Team’s “Shit Stormtroopers Say” is a parody of the “Shit Girls Say” video by Kyle Humphrey and Graydon Sheppard. Yes, it’s a little late to the meme party but you’ll have to forgive us; we come from a galaxy far, far away, so it takes a while to beam videos to your planet.

Fun Trivia:
The video was shot on a sub-$400 budget by Death Star PR subcontractors over the course of a weekend in early March in and around Sydney, Australia.
Jamie edited the video and did all of the special effects himself. He is very glad it is over.
Connor was horribly upset that most of his amazing performances as “Shrugtrooper” were cut from the final edit.
Pablo Zubieta will win “Best Dressed” at any costume party you invite him to.
The “Tatooine” part of the shoot caused Robbie to become very, very badly sunburnt. Moral of the story: next time you visit a desert planet, don’t forget to take sunscreen and a hat.
“Obi-Wan never told you about your father, did he?” Vader once asked Luke. The truth is, there’s a whole lot of things Obi-Wan never told Luke, like why it’s best to avoid kissing Princesses, or the human cost of a … Continue reading →
