If you haven't heard this, it's a brilliant take off on the "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club album. The first link is a playlist for the full album.

I've talked to the guys behind this and I believe it was a combination of Beatles and Star Wars fandom. In any event, I think it was a brilliant concoction on their part. And apparently they got a wink and a nod from both Lucas and the Beatles.
