This week’s viral video recap focuses on cute, tiny animals and, in honor of Sunday's May the Fourth Star Wars holiday, a Harry Potter vs. Star Wars battle.

While cute animals tend to win the Internet, the epic battle between a wizard and a Jedi should keep you glued to the screen.

One animal owner puts a spin on the game Whac-A-Mole by recreating it with kittens. The kittens are playfully “whacked,” until they escape the holes. Then, there’s the dog who just had to join a softball game — by stealing gloves from the players on the field.

There’s also the true story of living with a real-life delay, created by Ume.net, a fiber broadband company based in Sweden. The company shows what lag would look and feel like in real life by using an Oculus Rift with a 3-second delay. From slow reaction times to a poor game of ping-pong, lag is no fun in the real world.

But in the truest battle of our time, a Jedi Knight squares off against a wizard — all because a phone charger was misplaced.

While the battle is epic, it’s not as dangerously cute as a tiny hamster eating the meal of its lifetime -- a tiny burrito.
