'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Trailer Gets a Wes Anderson Remix

There may never be a Wes Anderson parody as inspired as Saturday Night Live's The Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders, but here’s one that’s pretty close.

YouTube editor Jonah Feingold has reimagined last week’s Internet-breaking teaser for J.J. Abrams’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the aggressively quirky stylings of Anderson, and pretty much nails it. Large yellow block font? Check. Polaroids? Check. French hipster tune? Check.

Really the only thing missing here is a stormtrooper in a tweed jacket.

Togo ruling party wins sweeping majority in legislative poll, final provisional results show
Togo's ruling party has won 108 out of 113 seats in parliament, according to the final provisional results of last month's legislative election announced on Friday. The sweeping majority secured by President Faure Gnassingbe's UNIR party follows the approval of controversial constitutional reforms by the outgoing parliament that could extend his 19-year rule. The election had been delayed twice because of a backlash from some opposition parties who called the constitutional changes a manoeuvre to allow Gnassingbe to rule for life.
