Now, perhaps you’re wondering “What on earth is ‘Princess Leia’s Stolen Death Star Plans’? Don’t worry. We got you covered.
Palette-Swap Ninja merged both ‘Star Wars’ and The Beatles’ ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ into one full-length concept album titled Princess Leia’s Stolen Death Star Plans.
It’s the entire Beatles album as accurately as they could record it, only now it tells the story of Star Wars: A New Hope — in order. They sweat the details on both sides in an effort to do both cultural milestones justice. Writing hyper-specific lyrics that match the original songs’ cadences; reverse-engineering everything the Beatles recorded, from distorted saxophone riffs to Indian tabla rhythms; recording everything from scratch and learning as they went.
