Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
See me and the boys we don't like it
So were getting up and going down

Hiding low looking right to left
If you see us coming I think it's best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Don't you be around

Tonight there's gonna be a breakout
Into the city zones
Don't you dare to try and stop us
No one could for long

Searchlight on my trail
Tonight's the night all systems fail
Hey you good lookin' female
Come here!

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Tonight there's gonna trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So woman stay with a friend

You know it's safer

Breakout!

Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around

Hee! Star Wars as heist movie - genius! I'm also a bit reminded of Firefly.

Loved the editing, especially the exploding Death Star - fitted the music really well.

I love the song choice, very fitting to Star Wars and def will be watching this vid on repeat.

[bedlamsbard]

Oh, this is delightful.

[cofax7]

Oh, that was very fun!

[thirdblindmouse]

I am mad for this vid. I love all the flying about through space, and I squeak out loud a bit when the light saber comes out to the music at the beginning.

[ladysorka]

This is incredibly fun. I love the quick cuts you used.

[leanwellback]

SO AWESOME! I absolutely love this, especially the Han/Leia stuff :D

[revolutionaryjo]

Rebel Alliance shenanigans! This was absolutely wonderful. :D

[aris_tgd]

This rocks so hard. SO HARD. Well done!

[yunitsa]

I love how fast-paced and fun this is! The tiny clip of running Stormtroopers around the 2-minute mark totally made me LOL.

[omens]

So great!! Loved this, so much.

[purplefringe]

Love this!! It totally captures all the fun of the films! :-D

[fizzyblogic]

Hee, this is brilliant! So much fun :D

[sara]

Aw, that was great fun, thanks!

[archersangel]

very good.

[calvinahobbes]

This is so delightful and PRETTY \o/

[lunabee34]

I love that you have the original dead dudes at the end LOL and I love that tiny moment when the X-wings open their wings. Fun, funny, and a perfect tribute to the original movies.

[banah]

Oh, so cool. I've got the biggest, stupidest grin on my face right now.

[tree]

this is hugely fun! you had me at the light sabre guitar riff. :D i can't believe you managed to get all of that into just over three minutes. fantastic clip choices and editing.

[echan]

This was SO AWESOME. The timing of everything was amazing, the tone and energy and action. I loved most the "oh so this is a light saber" at 0:16, "me and the boys" at 0:26, the (totally hilarious and awesome) "listen to me, things are fine here" at 0:42, the energetic shootout matching the drums at 0:44, Chewy gloating at 1:02, the whole "hey you" cute interaction around 1:34, the piggy-back ride at 1:41, the editing of the death star meeting was amazingly fun and effective, the timing of the death star's death (both at 2:46 and at 2:49) was PERFECT, R2-D2 dancing at 2:55, and the drums with drums at 3:04. This is an amazing vid, epically exciting and wonderful.

[franzeska]

Ahahaha! The flip at 1:25 and the lightsaber at 0:17 are GENIUS.

[livrelibre]

What a lot of fun!

[usuallyhats]

I love this, it's so much fun!

[colls]

Watching again and again and IT'S STILL THE MOST EPIC THING EVER!!!!
♥

[bessyboo]

OMG I LOVE THIS! It's so much FUN, and the sense of musical timing is SPOT ON. I love the lightsaber bit at the beginning :DDD

[china_shop]

Hee! This is fabulous and oh so shiny! \o/

[januar]

This is great! It makes me especially happy that the original Anakin version was used, instead of the edited-in-Hayden-version. Hooray for original trilogy and the rebels!

[actiaslunaris]

Very fun! I loved all the ships zooming around and the explosion of the Death Star there at the end to the music.

[laurashapiro]

Perfection! You highlighted all the most memorable moments, and the song choice is just killer.
