Yo dawg, Comicon heard you like cartoons and that you like Star Wars, so they got your favorite cartoon voice actors to read Star Wars.
The allstar voice acting cast made up of Billy West (Fry, Dr. Zoidberg), John DiMaggio (Bender, Jake from Adventure Time), Tara Strong (Bubbles, Timmy from Fairly OddParents), Maurice LaMarche (Calculon, The Brain), Kevin Conroy (Batman), Jess Harnell (Ironhide, Wacko from Animaniacs) and Rob Paulsen (Yacko, Pinky) recently gathered at the Emerald City Comicon in Seattle to read through the first half of A New Hope. The whole clip is an hour and 20 minutes long (they just make it to the Death Star before pulling the plug) and well worth a complete watch if only to see Billy West get all uppity about the interminable reading. But in case you aren't a reprobate blogger with no social life like some of us around here, we time-stamped our favorite, unmissable segments below.
Warning: the actors do enhance the script with some language that isn't strictly considered PG in this galaxy.
