Any wacky dad can slip into a Jedi robe and brandish a lightsaber for May the Fourth. But when the fellows who produce the popular YouTube channel Bored Shorts TV invited Mashable to its Star Wars parody shoot at the Cantina set in Burbank, California, we wanted to know: How much do these five guys from Utah –- in some really great replica costumes and makeup, by the way –- really know about the most wretched hive of scum and villainy?

Bored Shorts TV makes Kid Snippets, a series of videos in which kids speak (and often reinterpret) lines, which the grown-ups lip sync onscreen. For their May the Fourth special, LucasFilm helped out with the costumes and Cantina, an exact traveling replica, while YouTube Space LA pitched in with production, the company's first off-campus shoot since opening its gargantuan Playa Vista facility more than a year ago.

Watch five grown men mouth their own children’s take on the tense Cantina confrontation ... then fumble their way through my tense trivia round. May the Fourth be with them.
