K-Pop Demon Hunters and Star Wars Jedi Make an Unexpectedly Fantastic Combination

Sure thing, here’s a reimagined take:

Okay, so picture this: I’m diving into Netflix’s latest craze, KPop Demon Hunters—pretty wild stuff. Imagine my surprise when it started mixing with my old-time obsession, Star Wars. Seriously, like, how do you even link Jedi dudes with K-Pop superstars? It’s baffling.

Anyway, turns out they both love kicking butt and looking cool doing it. Who knew?

AnimatedJen dropped this epic video, and let me tell you, it’s a must-watch if you want your day to start with a bang. There’s this killer track, “How It’s Done” from HUNTR/X, blasting in the background. Suddenly, Cal Kestis, Bode Akuna, and Nightsister Merrin get together, smacking down Empire baddies. No crashing planes here, but their moves are slick. Trust me, it’s like magic on screen.

Then there’s this part—Bode’s all, “Want more? Cal, they want more.” BAM, next shot, Cal’s kicking a shoretrooper, Bode’s cruising in with his jetpack for a punch, and Merrin’s spinning her staff like a boss. I was hyped, just taking it all in. And there’s still a minute left in the vid!

I’ve been glued to AnimatedJen’s channel forever, relishing how they weave tales of Cal Kestis. Even got this alternate universe where Cal’s flirting with the dark side as an Inquisitor. Yeah, count me in!

Star Wars is an all-time fave ‘cause fans just take it and run wild with their creative spins. Canon, schmanon, right? Who’s to say Cal, Merrin, and Bode wouldn’t rock out to K-Pop while stomping stormtroopers? I say they do. In my head, they’re now MANT/S, and who’s managing them? Maybe Cere Junda? Someone, please, scribble this on AO3 for me! Oh, and modders, get cracking on those outfits. Stat!

If you’re looking for me, I’m firing up Jedi: Fallen Order, lightsabers swinging to “Takedown” as I carve through Empire scum. As you do.
