You can fault the Star Wars prequels for many things, but Lucasfilm's commitment to jam-packing their home video releases with as much supplementary material as possible? Absolutely not.

Nothing on any of the DVDs quite tops the utterly demented inclusion of a shockingly well-produced gag on Revenge of the Sith's home video release, where Yoda is seen rapping and dancing to The Roots' "Don’t Say Nuthin."

A gang of Stormtroopers meanwhile seem mildly engaged in the background, before the clip ends with Yoda quipping, "That voice, hard on my throat it is."

Funnily enough, the clip was produced in secret by the movie's animators, who had to hide it from their superiors until it was completed.

Originally intended to be an internal gag and nothing else, the sequence was eventually seen by George Lucas, who insisted it be included on Revenge of the Sith's DVD.

How To Find It: Enter the DVD's sound menu and highlight the distinctive THX logo. Then press 1138 on your remote - in reference to George Lucas' 1971 sci-fi classic THX 1138 - to unlock the video.
