When I was a kid, my favorite thing about Thanksgiving weekend was watching TV. Cable is so much better during the Holidays, you know?* Stations give away shit, they replay the same movies on loop over and over, and they screen Christmas specials a full month early. In keeping with the holiday spirit of re-running excellent stuff that rarely has anything to do with Thanksgiving,

Jason Brannon and Thomas Lee, the creative minds behind Bent Tv and the Star Wars Gangsta Rap videos were kind enough to answer a few questions about rapping, inspiration and all things Star Wars. Take a peek at what it takes to make Star Wars Fan Film history.

Tell us what originally inspired you to make Star Wars Gangsta Rap?

You saw the preview at San Diego Comic-Con 2009 (that’s kind of a marketing phrasing, statistically I have to admit that you possibly did not see the preview at San Diego Comic-Con 2009), and now it’s finally (almost) here. The next edition of Star Wars Gangsta Rap is almost here. Next Tuesday, November 10th, the newest video from the amazing guys at Bent TV will be live right here at Atom.com. I just caught the whole thing, and I have to tell you, that shit is amazing. Look for amazing verses from pretty much all the luminaries from the Star Wars universe.

To whet your appetite, here’s the preview you saw (or maybe didn’t) at Comic-Con.

So don’t forget, next Tuesday, November 10th!
