Yeah, we know that Star Wars is a massive big deal, but back in the late 70s George Lucas was only making money from licensed toys and t-shirts (true story). That's how the Star Wars Holiday Special got made, and where Ewoks: Caravan of Courage came from. George was seriously strapped for cash.
The cash-in you probably haven't heard of is the hard-core blaxploitation episode starring Lando Calrissian as a Shaft-eque home boy taking on the man in a galactic jive turkey shootout, otherwise known as Blackstar Warrior. That's because it was never released, but we've got the preview for you right here.
Okay, you've probably figured out this is a spoof by now. But it's a damn good one, and well worth three minutes of any jaded Star Wars fan's time. Stay super-fly, y'all.
