Unscripted Star Wars genius

On this week’s episode of Parks and Recreation, Patton Oswalt guest stars as a resident who invokes a bylaw about citizen filibustering to delay a city council vote. The show’s producers gave Oswalt full creative power for the scene, asking him to simply “ramble a bit about whatever subject he wanted.”

And he did — about Star Wars.

For a full eight minutes, Oswalt lays out a potential, detailed plot for the next installment of the film (he even threads in Disney elements, due to the recent acquisition of Lucasfilm).

It’s pure genius.
