Eddie Izzard: Death Star Canteen
One of Eddie Izzard’s funniest and most famous bits imagines what the Death Star Canteen would be like when Darth Vader visited for a bit of lunch. This uproariously unhinged segment is the highlight of his stand-up DVD “Circle.”
After Izzard’s Saturday show in Austin, I’ll let you know if there is anything approaching this level of brilliant hilarity.
Check out the clip, keeping in mind my now-standard warning that Izzard’s strong language and wardrobe choices make him unsuitable for children.
Since we have a bit of a Lego theme going on BAM’s Blog today, I’m also including here a Lego reenactment of the Death Star Canteen bit that some inventive soul put together and posted on YouTube. I think I can speak for “Star Wars” fans everywhere when I say that I never imagined a “death by tray” passing for Jar Jar Binks, but if it such a thing were to happen, I would cheer.

Some people are too clever by half. Circle is my least favorite of Eddie’s shows, but this part is classic! “Death by tray, it shall be” would make an excellent t-shirt.
