‘The Force Awakens’ Cast, Jimmy Fallon, The Roots Perform Epic ‘Star Wars’ Medley (Video)

Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, Lupita Nyong’o, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford join “The Tonight Show” host

The cast of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” showed off their rare musical talents on “The Tonight Show” in a new video released Tuesday that is sure to become a viral sensation.

Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, Lupita Nyong’o, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford joined Jimmy Fallon and The Roots for an a cappella tribute to the “Star Wars” series that can only be described as out of this world.

“A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away …” began the familiar scrolling message across the screen, before Fallon and his house band appeared singing the theme song from the classic score by Oscar-winning composer John Williams.

Soon Ridley joined them by way of the colorful split screen, then Driver jumped in for the imposing beat of the Dark Side — with Fallon and The Roots dressed as Stormtroopers.

Boyega, Isaac, Driver, Christie, Nyong’o, Fisher and Ford rotated in and out as the screens expanded, and even R2-D2, C3-PO and Chewbacca lent their diverse vocal talents to the medley.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” invades theaters on Dec. 18.

“The Tonight Show” airs at 11:35 p.m. on NBC.
