A few weeks ago, the new Star Wars teaser trailer caused the internet to lose its collective shit. But amidst all the Millenium Falcon and soccer-ball-droid drooling, Saturday Night Live wanted to make sure that you don’t lose sight of one very important fact: By now, the original characters are just a bunch of old, senile geezers.
Or at least, they should be if they want to keep any sense of realism in this ancient magic flying space land. Grandma Leia can’t program R2’s clock. Lightsabers are more useful as walkers. And they just can’t figure out how to turn the Millenium Falcon’s damn blinker off. Never forget, kids: Time is the cruelest Sith of all. [Hulu]
