'Weird Al' Yankovic Starts The Party In New LEGO Star Wars Trailer

Featuring new original 'Weird Al' Yankovic track, 'Scarif Beach Party'

The Star Wars Resistance definitely needs a break with the gang going on vacation in new trailer for LEGO Star Wars Summer Vacation.

The film will drop on the 5th of August and who better to start the party and lighten the mood than the one and only Weird Al Yankovic

The animated special takes place after the events of Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker, and features the voices of “Weird Al” Yankovic, Yvette Nicole Brown, Kelly Marie Tran, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, and returning cast members from previous “LEGO Star Wars” specials

It also features a new original song from Yankovic, which is titled Scarif Beach Party.


Yankovic is never far from the headlines, with the artist and comedian recently announcing a new graphic novel titled The Illustrated Al: The Songs Of Weird Al Yankovic.

The comic book company has also taken care of forthcoming projects from Tori Amos and Broken Social Scene. The book features over 20 'Weird Al' tracks interpreted by a range of graphic artists including Aaron Augenblick, Peter Bagge, Steve Chanks, Bill Plympton and more. 

Fans also got the first look of Daniel Radcliffe as Yankovic in the highly anticipated biopic about the music legend. The first trailer for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story doesn’t disappoint, with Radcliffe in fine form as he chaotically embodies Yankovic.

Written by Yankovic and Eric Appel, the film follows the career of the five-time Grammy-winning artist from his early hits such as Eat It and Like A Surgeon to his “depraved lifestyle and celebrity love affairs” and will premiere exclusively on streaming service Roku later this year.
