If you are not aware of Ryan Higa then you probably don’t follow large internet personalities. He’s become one of the most widely viewed Youtubers with a subscription base that’s closing in on 20 million. Higa has an incredible talent for film making and makes short films that utilize an incredible amount of technical skill and editing, but also throws in a large handful of laughter. His latest feature depicts what it would be like if Star Wars took place today.
In this feature, Ryan rescued from his carbonite prison still in the world of Star Wars, but in the 21st century. He’s suddenly confronted with iPads, racial diversity, cosplay, and memes. The very worst modern trope is saved for the end. They still have lightsabers, of course, but they are a bit different. In between the jokes, this is a pretty decent action movie.
But overall, you’ll certainly like it for the jokes and the mere fact that we don’t get too many videos demonstrating a Star Wars in today’s times. Often that’s reserved for artists who tend to photoshop Star Wars objects into historical pictures.
