Jul 9 2008The Jedi Gym Is Awesome, How Do I Join?
Kind of like the Jedi Academy, comes the Jedi Gym. The video is six minutes long, but actually is worth watching if/when you have the time. Mainly for the guy playing Lando Calrissian (that's him in the still) and the awesome plot twist around 4:00. Now I don't want to ruin anything, but let's just say it was pleasantly unexpected. Kind of like the time I walked in on my girlfriend with another chick. Now I know what you're wondering, and no, I was sadly not invited to participate. I was asked to leave and shut the door behind me. And that, my friends, is the story of how I was almost happy once.
Thanks Brennan, that's just what I needed after the last few traumatizing Star Wars videos

please, don't say 'First!', people.

Awesome.
However, I think if you hadn't put the "is not real" bit in the title, the video would have been a lot funnier (in terms of unexpectedness of the twist)

Reminds me of the theme gym I started with strippers and tequila shots. ... wait... well, now I think about it I guess it wasn't a gym at all. Forget it.

this Jedi Academy is in New York. I saw a bunch of them walking around Union Square the other day. I also saw the whole 'family' at ComicCon New York. . . which I only went to to hit on all the sexy japanese girls. . . yes and to get Lou Ferrigno's autograph. . . and get a replica Final Fantasy sword, but I didn't dress up as anything . . . ok, I went as Bobba Fett, but i looked awesome.

I love how the Mexican lolis laugh at him at the beginning lol.
But you can tell it's obviously fake just by the way he talks.
The Jedi Academy is vastly funnier because it's real.

That fella playing Lando was in that Nutrigrain commercial, I think. You know the one with the "babies everywhere" line.

When he says, regarding raising the money: "And my grandmother died, that helped". You know he has THE FORCE!

@8 yeah that would of been hilarious if voldemort cut off his other arm, then he turns it into something else like star trek or naruto or something like that
