Tina & Amy Spoof 'Star Wars' In New 'Sisters' Featurette, & Now We Want Mashup of Both Movies

by Jenn Rose

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's new movie, Sisters, is set to premiere on Dec. 18, the same day that Star Wars: The Force Awakens premieres. I know. But Tina and Amy are handling the situation with characteristic fortitude and strength of character — by making as much fun of it as possible. In a wink and nod at the insanity of going up against the biggest blockbuster of the 21st century, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey spoofed Star Wars in a new Sisters promo.

The featurette purports to go behind the scenes of their movie, discussing the special effects techniques used and the importance of the movie as if it were a certain high-profile sci-fi franchise. Costars Ike Barinholtz and Maya Rudolph also appear, with Barinsholtz fondly reminiscing about the Sisters lunchbox he carried as a child, and Rudolph donning a "motion capture suit" that's little more than a colander and a string of Christmas lights. Keep an eye out for a huge sci-fi star at the very end, who will drive hardcore Star Wars fans nuts by repeating the most misquoted line in movie history (according to me, Jenn Rose, internet pedant).
