Back in December, right around the time Star Wars: The Last Jedi opened in theaters around the solar system, guitarists Stuart Edge and Nathan Turley got together outside an IMAX theater at a shopping mall to shoot an epic space opera of their own—a little something called The Last Shredi.
The clip, which you can find at the top of this story, depicts a Crossroads-style six-string shootout between a Sith and a Jedi. As you can imagine, such an event—featuring amps, guitars, costumes, hoods, whammy bars and booming backing tracks—drew a crowd at the mall that day, including a Strat-wielding third guitarist (Amanda Johnson), who enters the scene right around the 2:53 mark—and adds to the spectacle.
Who wins the shootout? That's something for the High Judge to decide. Or not. Whatever.
Edge—not to be confused with the Edge—has been posting guitar-centric (and not-so-guitar-centric) videos for years, including "Thunderstruck in Real Life," which you can check out below. In the nearly four years it has existed on YouTube, it has been viewed nearly 5 million times, which is still pretty decent by 2018 standards. Edge is the guy with the white Fender Strat in both clips.
By the way, "The Last Shredi" is available on iTunes right here.
