YouTube user The Unusual Suspect has created a fantastic Star Wars mashup video utilizing the opening music from the children's series Power Ranger: Lost Galaxy. The space-themed superhero series, featuring space fights with monsters and robots proves to be a perfect fit for the footage from the Star Wars franchise.
Edited together to match the music and with title credits spliced in, the movie clips flow seamlessly with the music, creating an extremely fun and nostalgic tribute to both Star Wars and Power Rangers, which has entertained children of all ages for over 20 years.
Along with this Star Wars, mashup, The Unusual Suspect has also created similar mashups for other franchises including Star Trek (to Power Rager In Space), Back to the Future (Power Rangers Time Force) and, most aptly, Pacific Rim (The original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers theme).
