Video: The Star Wars trailer gets the Wes Anderson treatment and it’s great

All that's missing is Bill Murray and a dysfunctional main character...

All that’s missing is Bill Murray and a dysfunctional main character…

If JOE could cast any of Wes Anderson’s brilliantly eccentric characters into the Star Wars universe then we would probably opt for Klaus from The Life Aquatic.

We’ve chosen to kick C3-PO off the Millennium Falcon and promote the leader of the “B” Squad from the S.S. Belafonte in his place and quite frankly, he belongs on the galaxy’s coolest ship.

Klaus Daimler. Calm. Collected. German. We know that he will never be prone to mutiny against Han Solo and that he isn’t opposed to using dynamite if the occasion calls for it.

If you felt like the Star Wars trailer needed more French singing, plaid backgrounds and artistic fonts then this is the video for you.

We love Wes Anderson. We love Star Wars. We love this.
