Star Wars' Stars John Boyega And Daisy Ridley Awaken The Force Of Rap In US Target Exclusive DVD

On April 4, we gave you a look at what you could get from each retail exclusive version of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens DVD and we have placed our bets on the Target Exclusive DVD and Blu-ray with its 20 minutes of bonus clips as a special feature. We are reaffirming that choice thanks to a priceless clip of Daisy Ridley rapping about their experiences during the filming of The Force Awakens accompanied by John Boyega beat boxing.

Entertainment Tonight released an exclusive video of one of the Target exclusive DVD's bonus clips and it shows an interview with the two English actors talking about their rap collaboration.

Boyega says that he caught Ridley rapping on set one day and, because of his eye for talent, they came up with their little musical performance.

"You know what? I can make you a big star," Boyega jokes he told Ridley.

Of course, it is obvious that one of the bigger inspirations for the lyrics is their time in the desert as they filmed the Jakku scenes together. We also know now that Ridley--and perhaps the other cast members too--had to hold off on chocolate as part of her diet and she may not be too happy about it because it received special mention.

The short clip also showed the production crew and cast members-even Admiral Ackbar-dancing around to the beat, whether individually or as a group. Neither the Rebellion nor the Stormtroopers of the First Order could stop themselves from dancing to the rap of the two actors. Now we know just how strong The Force is within these two characters.

Well, it was probably The Force of trying to entertain themselves that led the two actors to come up with the rap. Boyega did say at the end of the clip that it happens when "you take too long to get between takes."

Watch a clip of the epic collaboration below.
