    Check Out Yoda’s Breakdancing and Rapping Skills [Star Wars]

    On the Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith DVD there is an easter egg that unlocks a video of Yoda doing a hip hop video to “Don’t Say Nuthin” by The Roots. It’s a non-canonical musical performance by Yoda and a group of clone troopers from the 41st Elite Corps (in phase II armor) in the Jedi Temple.

    Interestingly, the video was made in secret by the animators after one took a hip hop dance class.

    “I was lucky enough to attend a hip hop class offered through ILM and
    taught by Jackie Burns,” Michel d’Annoville recalls. “She was nice
    enough to allow me to film the class in order to study the movement. One
    of Jackie’s routines was to ‘Don’t Say Nuthin’ by The Roots. Not only
    did I like the song itself but the choreography included breakdancing
    which I thought would be fun to animate. I mentioned to Jackie my idea
    of Yoda hip hop dancing. She thought it was a really cool idea and
    that’s how the project began.”

    The biggest challenge was the deadline of the production of Episode III. They had to pull late hours and hide the rendering from Animation Director Rob Coleman. “Everybody who worked on Hip Hop Yoda kept the project very secret from
    Rob, which became difficult toward the end as we needed to use Star Wars
    production processors to make the renders possible.” Michelle said, “I was lucky to
    have Assistant Technical Director Maggie Oh watching my back and keeping
    the renders going smoothly and discreetly.”

    After it was done, George Lucas saw it and decided to put it on the DVD. It eventually found it’s way to the Internet.

    What do you think of Yoda’s mad breakdancing and rapping skills?

      That seems like a lot of work for something with no real purpose.

    2. Alex J. Cavanaugh on July 3, 2012 2:27 pm

      Maybe a rock anthem would've been better?

    3. Tony Laplume on July 3, 2012 4:21 pm

      I don't know what's more awesome, the fact that this was made, or that it was so cleverly hidden.

    4. Maurice Mitchell on July 3, 2012 4:57 pm

      Pat, I just find it fascinating that they were able to create an entire video without anyone finding out.

    5. Maurice Mitchell on July 3, 2012 4:58 pm

      Alex, I like the breakdancing, but maybe Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive?"

    6. Maurice Mitchell on July 3, 2012 5:00 pm

      I know Tony! It's nice to know they have fun at Skywalker Ranch.

    7. The Golden Eagle on July 3, 2012 6:03 pm

      I'm impressed they managed to keep it a secret; must have taken a lot of time to do!

    8. Liesel Hill on July 3, 2012 6:57 pm

      Awesome! 'Nuff said!
