Lego Star Wars: Bombad Bounty is a 2010 comedy short film directed by Peder Pedersen and produced by M2Film for Lego and Cartoon Network in collaboration with Lucasfilm.
It was made as a follow-up to Lego Star Wars: The Quest for R2-D2 (2009). The story overlaps with the original Star Wars trilogy, while following a separate plotline starring Jar Jar Binks and Boba Fett. Similar to the director's two previous shorts, Lego Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Brick and Lego Star Wars: The Quest for R2-D2, the film also includes several inside-jokes that pay homage to the Star Wars series and the Indiana Jones films.
The plot loosely follows that of the original trilogy. Part 1 begins with the video recalling the start of Episode IV: A New Hope with an Imperial Star Destroyer pursuing the Tantive IV. Following the intrusion of Imperial Stormtroopers, Jar Jar Binks appears as a janitor wiping the floor of ship. At this point everyone freezes as Jar Jar passes by, and after leaving, the fighting resumes as the Rebel troopers are shot backward. Afterwards, Darth Vader walks in but slips on the wet floor; he lands on his back and is taken away on a stretcher while Jar Jar puts up a wet floor sign.
Meanwhile, on the Star Destroyer, Darth Vader has a cast on both his left arm and leg. As he watches Lego Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Brick, Vader hires Boba Fett to eliminate Jar Jar, switching channels to reveal a mug shot of Jar Jar. Boba Fett leaves and Darth Vader changes channels again to the "Cooking with Jabba" channel.
