WATCH: 'Use the Four!' Star Wars comes to Sesame Street


 
One of the best Star Wars parodies this could be, yes, hmmmm?
 
Cast Cookie Monster as Flan Solo, Grover as the centuries-old Groda, and Chewie the Cookie as Solo's sidekick, and you have a recipe for something out of this world.
 
The spoof - "Star S'Mores" - is set in a long time ago in a (cookies and milky way) galaxy far away, with Princess Parfaita taken prisoner by the evil Galactic Empire.
 
But before Solo, Luke Piewalker and Chewie can rescue her, Solo has to fight his inner battle: devouring his cookie pal Chewie.
 
The gang seek help from Only-One Cannoli, who tells Solo to "Use the Four" by counting to four as a form of self-control; and Groda, who suggests music.
 
Will the power of cookie prove stronger than the Four? Whose advice will work?
 
 
Enter Groda
 
But the real treat for original Star Wars fans will no doubt be Groda: geeks in the know know that Grover and Yoda are voiced by the same actor—the venerable Frank Oz.
 
And when it comes to one famous line from the original Star Wars, Sesame Street just may have done it better: "When 900 years old you reach, look as cute you will not!" Groda quips to the narrator.
 
An article on ToplessRobot.com sums it up: "Remember when Kevin Smith movies argued that Return of the Jedi was just a bunch of Muppets? This one most assuredly is...and proud of it." — Joel Locsin/TJD, GMA News
