Does This Make Them “The Solo-Team”?
We’ve had several mash-ups of the classic A-Team opening, and we’ve had several mash-ups of Star Wars set to TV show openings. It was only a matter of time before some combined the two, and it’s exactly what you’d expect — although that doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy it immensely. Bonus points to the creator for sticking to ’80s gender inequality and keeping Leia off the team; hell, it’s not like any of those reporter girls made it onto The A-Team‘s credits. Although admittedly they also didn’t have the balls to tell Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin to go fuck each other, either. (Via Gizmodo)
