  • some great inforamtion here thanks

  • You'll all be pleased to know that they've kept up this fine tradition in the voice acting of the new Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO. Every other officer of the Sith Empire has a 'Leftenant Sebastian' voice and accent. I keep thinking of this clip every time I run into one, and it still cracks me up. Eddie was spot on with this.

  • My God, man!  Do they want tea?

  • racist?

    i'm from oxford and i've never encountered these stereotypes.

    monty python for fuckwitts.

  • hrm just turned 18

  • Sounded a bit python-esque towards the end :P

  • hihi Tell me your desires

  • So that's what Star Wars would be like if Vader was Wheatley.

  • lol sensual girl here just for you baby

  • This was to an American audience, wasnt it?

  • @cjmkael It was. I think San Francisco or sth.

  • not a tranny

  • I'd want to be strong as a small pony...

  • Well do they want tea?

    Well I dunno what they want. But they bought a flag xD

  • "Well HOW strong?"

    "As strong as Scootaloo."

  • Why is he wearing a dress

  • @Dmsj1997 It's just how he rolls. "In his show, Dress to Kill, Izzard describes himself as an "executive", "action" and "professional" transvestite, as "a male tomboy" rather than a drag queen or a "weirdo" transvestite (he cites J. Edgar Hoover and Hermann Göring as examples of the latter). He regularly cross-dresses both on and off stage and makes it clear that cross-dressing is, for him, neither a part of his performance nor a sexual fetish."

  • @Dmsj1997 Because he's a transvestite.

    

  • @Dmsj1997 hes a cross dresser, not a transvestite, idk if its to be funny or if he wants to dress like a girl ^^"

  • Oh....i....i...oh.... xD 

  • THE force is strong with you.

    is it?

    yeah =D

  • LEGEND.

    

  • It looks like he's wearing a Japanese muumuu. Not his best choice, I've seen wear better.

  • His Vader sounds like Ricky Gervais!

  • Pay a-bloody-ttention!

  • I am number 1000!

  • Truly a comical genius!

  • Hhahaah this is so true!

  • @hetnerd 'true' about fiction? ironic.

  • My username explains it all

  • 1) Some of the rebels had English accents like the woman that outlined the attack plan, NEARLY all rebells had American accents.

    2) Some of the LOWER Imperial officers had American accents, All the HIGHER Imperial officers had English accents. All the storm troopers had american accents.

    3) The Emperor an Vader both spoke very proper English, in which case I have found, makes it hard to tell which accent they have. The actor that plays the Emperor is from scotland, JEJ (vader) is from US.

  • @arch571332 The films were shot in a studio outside London, and British film regulations states that to be allowed, as a foreigner, to film in Britain, at least half of cast and crew MUST be of British origin, I swear to god. As to why people where arranged as they were, that was just a creative choice, but the amount of BRitish actors actually has an explination.

  • "Dress to kill" = funniest stand-up show of all time.

    When I listened to the audio recording for the first time, I could not believe how funny Izzard was - laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.

  • My god man, do they want tea???

  • Comment removed

  • I don't know what it is but they've brought a flag.

  • This is how I Imagine star wars would be if it had been made by the guys from monty python.

  • they've brought a flag

  • I don't know, but they have a FLAG

  • I heard that he isn't a transvestite anymore. Not that I ever cared about that. Who cares about his clothing, just listen to the jokes! :D

  • oh..hello

  • Why is it that people think YouTube is a good place to fight with other people? I am not interested in your argument or the big words that you think make you sound smart. Just watch the videos and be happy.

  • *insert number of dislikes* are weaker than a small pony

  • He's very very funny, thats about it really, what else do you need to know or care about?

  • damn, that's dash cunning of them!

  • I nearly ran over the guy that played Vader on my motorcycle. The guy in the suit, not James Earl Jones. Silly cunt owns a gym in Southwark, also has bad arthritus, and he came limping over Marshalsea road as I came howling round the bend!

  • @SvenTviking

    Oh yeah, what a silly cunt, trying to cross a road at his age. Maybe you should have been driving sensibly around a bend in the middle of a town, instead of "howling" around it, daft cunt.

  • @lucyandnyuuatonce Oh sorry Jimminy Fucking Cricket, my biking concience. I was inside the speed limit and he limped out from the inside in front of me on a blind bend.I managed to do a perfect emergancy stop. Perhaps you'd like to do the same and I'll park my 1100 on your fat head, gobshite.

  • @SvenTviking

    That reference is from the moon, I applaud such fearless use of antiquated referencing. Don't say "1100" like I have no idea what you're talking about, the fact you're riding an 1100 is completely irrelevant, and it doesn't impress me, so no ego stroking for you /sadface.

    Have a cookie and calm down, and maybe I should do too, much love Mr. 1100.

  • @lucyandnyuuatonce Let me get this straight. I told a story about how Dave Prowse jaywalked out in front of me and I avoided killing him. Double funny cos he was the green cross man. You responded by calling me a cunt , twice, and assuming it was all my fault. So I responded in kind. There was no intention to baffle you by using the term "1100" . Rather this was used to describe the size of said motorcycle and just how much injury and pain I would like to cause, by running you over.

  • @SvenTviking

    Ah, I see you've calmed down too. I do appreciate the irony of nearly running over the Green Cross Code man. Hey look! We're both capable of calm, mature discussion rather than petty swearing! Isn't it funny how the human mind works? I'd nom that bike with my metal crushing mouth, nom nom nom motorcycle.

  • @SvenTviking David Prowse could kill you with a thought. Or a tray, if he wanted to.

  • @ThomasJAckerman But I saved his life using the brakes and gearbox of a Kawasaki GT550. It was not "Death or cake!"

  • Well who told u that??

    uh s-some bloke...

  • (tea&&cake)||death

  • lol, epic.

  • hahahahha! Vader's voice being done by Izzard hahah that'd be fucking great

  • I love the pause between: "Just The Rebels, sir......They're here."

  • Luke the force is strong with you! Is it? YEAH ahahahaha so frickin funny

  • Damn! That's dash cunning of them!

    Lovely to see Eddie laugh!

  • MY GOD SIR! do they want tea?

    no I think they want more than that sir, the've brought a flag

  • Brit Vader would have been awesome.

  • ...why the hell is it that a violent discussion about religion is taking place beneath Eddie Izzard's hilarious rant on the inner workings of Brits in Star Wars?

  • @KeizerXilian Because people are dumb

  • "They brought a flag."

    I cracked xD

  • He should write a legit Star Wars parody.

  • i never thoght id say this, but i really love the comedic genius of a transvestite... well i dotn think he's a tranny anymore but still i first loved it with the cake or die one... love this one "well how strong" "as stron as a a small pony"

  • "I don't know what they want, but they brought a flag."

    Fucking love that line!

  • @PieLord05 damn, that's dash cunning of them!

  • Anyone who thinks this is funny should hear Dave Prowse (body of vader) delivering james earl jones' lines

  • y duz he dress like a chick

  • @Piper2397 Because he wants to

  • "damn, that's dash cunning of them, and lord vador, Umm, hello?" ROFL, EDDIE ROCKS!

  • "Well how strong?"

    "Er...as strong as a small pony"

    "Oh! That's quite strong, that is."

    Luke's force: now with half a horsepower

  • who gives a fuck what he looks like or what he wears he's still a very funny comedian

  • @jayof2007 He isnt a comedian he is a mechanic.

  • 666 ratings lol

  • It's just the rebels sir..........There here! PRICELESS!

  • Who cares ya he dresses wired which is pretty freaky but he's wicked funny!!

  • Comedic GENIUS! thanks for posting!

  • @jwklf That would be a Transsexual. Not a Transvestite.

  • erm... not quite.

    eddie is a tranvestite. he is heterosexual, but he feels he is free to wear whatever he wants, be it women's clothes, makeup, high heels, etc. he feels like if women are allowed to wear 'mens' clothes like jeans and tshirts, he should be able to do the same.

    a TRANSEXUAL is someone who believes they were born into the wrong gender.

  • He's a Executive Transvestite :D If that helps...

  • @lindemonien & an Action Tranvestite lol

  • @shockz16 True! XD lol

  • transvestites believe they were born the wrong sex ("male lesbian, that's where the sexuality lies"). transsexuals are the ones who actually seek gender realignment.

  • @tarison13 Actually transsexuals believe they were "born the wrong sex", whether or not you choose to have sex reassignment surgery is a different matter but it doesn't change the term. A transvestite is a person who simply enjoys wearing clothes traditionally intended for the opposite sex. Most transvestites are straight men who feel like men and want to be men, men who occasionally dress like women.

  • why is he wearing makeup?

  • i dont know what it is but they brought a FLAG!

  • this needs to be done in lego like the death star canteen gag

  • It just proved the theory, really.

  • how did that prove the theory?

  • Love this bit.

    Eddie is awesome.

  • love the way he cant keep a straight face on the flag punchline...hero!

  • Eddie Izzard is a genius. He set up this part of his act perfectly with the previous jokes about empires and flags.

  • Anyone who thinks Eddie Izzard is gay/weird/wrong is an idiot. Eddie Izzard is brilliant, hilarious, gorgeous, and straight.

    He's a great comedian and a sweet transvestite (XD).

  • @sparklegrl0713

    and he´s from transsexual transylvania :D

  • @sparklegrl0713 couldnt have been said better, mate. amen to that. well not gorgous cuz im a dude but he is hilarious and briliant

  • @sparklegrl0713 Uh...right. Anyone who looks at this DUDE in a dress and make up and thinks he might be a fag is an idiot...? Really...?

  • @crossfireclone Yep. Because he specifically says he's straight in his routine. Transvestite and homosexual are in no way the same thing.

  • @sparklegrl0713 Weird is subjective and wrong depends on your morality. My morality, my beliefs tell me men should dress as men and women should dress as women. This man is obviously confused, despite whatever facade he puts on to the world, and I hope the best for him.

  • @MetulManiac First of all, I made that comment 8 months ago. Second of all, you're a douche who judges before knowing what the hell you're talking about. Enjoy your morality, because it's worth the same as your attitude. Nothing.

  • @sparklegrl0713 I would argue that you don't know what you're talking about. You made a blanket statement that everyone who disagrees with you is an idiot and a moron; I challenged that by stressing a bit more tolerance of other opinions and presented mine. Now who's being an intolerant bigot and a douche? Have I not just as much freedom to disagree with tranvestitism as he does to display it?

  • @MetulManiac Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but you certainly don't, either. Like I said, I made the original comment EIGHT MONTHS AGO. I'm not an expert on Eddie Izzard, nor am I an expert on transvestitism. I only know that Eddie Izzard says in his routine that he's not gay, nor is he transexual, he just likes wearing a dress. And he doesn't even do that anymore, so why are you jumping on his way of dressing now? Maybe I am intolerant of people who make rude comments. Sorry.

  • @sparklegrl0713 Well Eddie also said he's 100% man and 50% woman. Sounds confused sexually to me.

  • @MetulManiac It sounds like he was making a joke, to me. You don't have to take his routine literally, and you don't have to make assumptions.

  • @MetulManiac So if I as a women put on a mans sweatshirt does that make me confused? or does it just mean I find men's sweatshirts comfortable. I wear men's sandals instead of women's ones, is it because I'm confused? NO it's because they provide more support and to me they look better than women's ones. He wears women's clothes because he likes to. They're just clothes, what does it matter what gender you are, you should be able to wear what you like.

  • @FGP02 Its a cultural thing. A man, in this culture, has his masculinity hampered by wearing women's clothing. Depending on the style of dress, a woman may or may not have her femininity hampered by her dress. She should be modest, but should not desire to hide her beauty. Likewise a man should be modest, but should not desire to hide his handsomeness with garish makeup.

  • @MetulManiac No it isn't, only to people like you. Who cares what you wear, wear nothing for all I care, clothes are just there for protection from the elements. As long as the person wearing them likes them it shouldn't matter. If other people have a problem with it, that's their problem. You sound like you were born in the 1800's.

  • I was reborn in Christ. Use what ever slander you wish, I really don't care. I know where I stand, and you're offhand comments will not stop me from beleiving and trusting in Jesus and what the bible teaches.

  • @MetulManiac Ah a theist, well that explains everything then, you believe what you were made to believe then, not what is right. Man created God in his image: intolerant, sexist, homophobic and violent.

  • @FGP02 Coming from you I'll take that as a compliment, means I'm doing something right.

  • @MetulManiac Well no it means you THINK you are doing something right because you have been brainwashed to think what's written in the bible is right, but the majority of it is immoral and wrong, go read it, all of it, if you seriously think that book is good, there is something wrong with you. Reading the Bible all the way through was the first step for me in gaining freedom from religion.

  • @FGP02 Funny, it freed me from religion too.

  • @MetulManiac Just read it.

  • @FGP02 I've read the entire bible and continue to do so. I get my morality from God, not from society.

  • @MetulManiac If you get your morality from that book then you are beyond help. That book endorses slavery, beating children to death, rape, sexism and homophobia to name but a few. That book is evil, the few nice things in it does not excuse the horrible things it endorses. Think for yourself.

  • @FGP02 All right this is just peeing me off. Seriously dude, give me some examples. Firstly: Slavery isn't endorsed; Paul tells the gentiles who already have slaves to treat their slaves well, like hired help as opposed to endentured servants. There was a time and a place for that battle, and it would come later. Second, there is never, in the entire book, a good example of rape. It is disgusting and always shown as a result of sin.

  • @MetulManiac Slavery is wrong and it never says that in the bible that's the point, it tells you who you can enslave, how much to pay for them, how to make them slaves forever, that you can beat them as much as you like as long as you don't kill them. Go to evil bible dot com / slavery and evil bible dot com / rape they have all the references you want as I can't type them all here there are too many.

  • @FGP02 You're an idiot and I'm not having this conversation anymore.

  • @MetulManiac Typical theist put your hands over your ears and say "I'm not listening" when someone confronts you with the truth. I urge you to think for yourself, to do what is right because it's right, not because a god told you too.

  • @MetulManiac im an atheist. so stfu.

  • @sparklegrl0713 Oh I see what you did there ^^

  • @sparklegrl0713 from transexual Transylvania?

  • @sparklegrl0713 He's a male lesbian. He's said so himself.

  • @sparklegrl0713 hear hear!!

  • @sparklegrl0713 i think he's weird, but i like weird

  • The Empire Strikes Back is the only movie in the original trilogy not to include scenes in the Death Star. Oops...I'm a giant nerd.

  • im bigger nerd.....the actors were not british, they actually dubbed british actors voices over the real actors

  • The other way around. Darth Vader was played by a David Prowse, with James Earl Jones dubbing the voice afterwards. Prowse didn't even know that Vader was Luke's father until he saw the film on the cinema premier.

  • im am aware of this fact but it has nothing to do with the actors of the empire having their voiced dubbed over with british actors. it was a post production decision stated by Lucas at a con. his logic was the british accent just had the sence of evil with the proper orginization to run a military operation of that size. so he had british actors re-read the script and dubbed the voices over the original.

  • @Moxy1 I only realised this today. I first got this show something like eight years ago and I can't believe it's taken me this long to realise that he slipped up there. My sister has never noticed either and she's much more of a Star Wars fan than I am. Shows how we just believe anything Eddie says ;)

  • He's not gay, he's just a transvestite.

  • It kind of is different. He likes girls. He just also likes to wear what he wants.

  • @youwantedhonestyXD OJ isn't a murderer. He just likes to cut people's heads off.

  • @crossfireclone Right. So by your reasoning, no straight guys whatsoever wear skinny jeans, v-neck tops, necklaces, or anything else construed as 'women's' clothing? Okay, everyone, I must be a lesbian now because I wear trousers.

  • @2sweetsunday Maybe you're just a frumpy chick who wears dudes clothes. That doesn't make you a lesbo. It just means everyone who sees you is going to think you are.

  • A man wearing a dress is the same as a woman wearing pants.

  • @Transformergirl calling out on an old comment but women should never wear pants :)

  • @Nightlive5 I wear mostly pants. I look awful in a dress...

  • I'm wondering if the people who gave me thumbs down maybe don't realise I was talking to an idiot who expressed his/her disapproval about mr. izzards choice of clothing. I was not talking about the man himself. *rolls eyes*

  • damn thats dash cunning of them!

  • "The Death Star is full of British people opening doors and saying: Oh...I'm...Oh.."

  • Comment removed

  • the flag thing was from an earlier joke about how the british claimed countries simply by putting a flag there (and backing it up with a gun) for those who dont know

  • That was leant to him by the National Rifle Association! lol

  • 0:27 onwards ;D hahaha

  • they brought flags!

  • The guy who played Darth Vader was actually English, I think he was from Summerset or Cornwall, but he does have a West Country accent and I think some of the other characters in Star Wars are English as well:

    Chewbacca, the Emporor, R2D2, C3PO, that little Ewok, Boba Fett, etc.

  • David Prowse was wearing the costume. You can actually see him in A Clockwork Orange. James Earl Jones was the voice of Darth Vader. When Vader's mask is shattered, it's some third actor's face we see.

  • I know, he's the guy I'm talking about.

  • I think the guy who played Boba Fett was a New Zealander.

  • The guy who played JANGO fett was a New Zealander, but both of the guys who originally played Boba Fett in the original trilogy were English.

    The original voice actor was from Brooklyn and the one on the DVD is the same guy that plays Jango.

  • The best line ever that he set up earlier in his act:

    "no I think there after something more than sir. I don't know what it is but they brought a flag".

    Fucking Classic.

  • "MY GOD MAN! ...Do they want tea?" The way he says that is so fucking great!

    And I love when he's ad-libbing and says something that doesn't make sense and is hilarious, like the Vader thing "Uh...hello?"

  • lmao 5:00 trilogy

  • "they brought a flag..."

  • "My god man!... Do they want tea?"

  • Its the rebels sir.

    There here.

  • "do you have a flag" ?

  • I only know this guy as Nagel from the Ocean's films so I'm stunned of his qualities as a stand-up. He's hilarious.

  • He's unbelievable look up all of his stuff.

  • he was in those?!

  • I didn't know that Eddie Izzard had been in a film...

  • many

  • my god, man! do they want tea? :D :D :D

  • I'm LMAO
