10 Times Star Wars Broke The Fourth Wall
1. George Lucas Takes Darth To One Side - Lego Star Wars: The Padawan Menace
Whether you love them or hate them, Lego's many various spins on everything from Marvel to Star Wars can always be counted on to take a few hilarious shots at that sacred fourth wall over the course of whatever video game or feature offering they have lined up next.
And keeping with that penchant for taking a lightsaber to the imaginary divide between audience and action, a moment that sees Darth Sidious converse and chuckle with Asajj Ventress via hologram in Lego Star Wars: The Padawan Menace is soon interrupted by an unexpected cameo from a giggling Darth Vader.
A familiar voice shouting "cut!" followed by a record scratch for good measure then paves the way for none other than Lego George Lucas to storm onto set to drag his disruptive and confused Sith out of the exchange, telling the iconic villain, "Darth, you're not in this scene."
Along with hilariously shining a light on this entire sequence being nothing more than a scene being shot for our entertainment, Lucas' acknowledging of the invading Sith as simply "Darth" was also a not-so-subtle nod towards the galaxy's creator now-bizarrely referring to him as such in A New Hope when Ben Kenobi comes into contact with his old friend.
He may be a master of evil, but even Darths need a donut and a cuddle every now and again, you know.
