It used to be U2 albums. Pretty sure this is an upgrade. Bono has dumb sunglasses instead of an awesome ‘stache.

Why am I talking about Magnum P.I.? Because the following is an attempt to emulate its opening credits, only with Star Wars scenes. Now, I’m not the biggest Star Wars fan, but I think we can all agree Han Solo is the coolest guy in the entire series. Han Solo P.I. would be a pretty sweet show, if Harrison Ford grew the prerequisite mustache. (Side note: Just found out that my usual spelling — moustache — is the predominant British spelling, while mustache is the American one. So I obviously need to go with the latter from now on. U-S-A)

If you are not familiar with Magnum’s credit sequence, hit the jump to have your mind blown. And not just by a side-by-side comparison of this mashup and the original, but also by something from The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien. Oh yeah.
