‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’ Features ‘Star Wars’ Characters Singing ‘Stayin' Alive’ [Watch]
There seems to be no end to how much press the new "Star Wars" film is getting. That also means that late night talk shows like "The Tonight Show" have been featuring special segments devoted to the never-ending hype for the film.
According to NME, "The Tonight Show" has done something with the "Star Wars" franchise similar to what it did with former NBC News anchor Brian Williams last year, which was take clips of the various characters saying key elements to a song and playing the song in the background.
Host Jimmy Fallon introduced his own "Star Wars" excitement by paying this special tribute to the franchise on "The Tonight Show" and it seemed to flow perfectly with the song.
This mashup was not just a single movie, but rather every movie in the library and every character that could have uttered the words of the Bee Gees hit song "Stayin' Alive." That includes all of the franchise's most famous actors, including Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Liam Neeson, Samuel L. Jackson, Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor.

That was not all "The Tonight Show" featured for the franchise though. Fallon is very well known for his own musical abilities and has frequently featured guests that have done special skits with him that included them performing various music numbers.
That was something that he also did with the entire "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" cast in a series of split box screens, similar to the ones that were made famous on ''The Brady Bunch" intro.
Those cast members included Ford, Fisher, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie and Lupita Nyong'o, who all sang along with Fallon.
So what song where they singing? Actually, it was none other than the "Star Wars" theme and the various other musical numbers that have been made famous on the franchise by composer John Williams.
