Ever since he burst on to the action movie scene with a spate of instant classics, Arnold Schwarzenegger has remained a fixture in pop culture. But for all of the science fiction movies he’s made, he has yet to appear in one of the most beloved franchises in cinema: Star Wars.

But have you ever wondered what Darth Vader would be like if they replaced James Earl Jones’ iconic voice with the former governor of California? Wonder no more, because one intrepid film critic and editor did just that.
Schwarzenegger has no shortage of iconic quotes and one liners from his many movie, and some of them are actually quite hilarious when taken out of context.
YouTube user Jason Einert edited the NSFW video featuring some greatest scenes with the Dark Lord of the Sith as he spews out lines from movies like Predator, Kindergarten Cop, Total Recall, and other classic Schwarzenegger movies.
Einert finds a great mix of funny lines that actually work well in the contexts of the scenes, including the standout of the Princess Leia interrogation scene from A New Hope with the classic quote from Kindergarten Cop: “We’re going to play a wonderful game called ‘Who Is My Daddy And What Does He Do.’”

While there are many good scenes in the montage, the video’s highlight is definitely the wonderful duel with Luke Skywalker at the climax of Empire Strikes Back.
It’s amazing to think what could have happened if George Lucas would have taken even more chances during the production of the original Star Wars and given the former Mr. Universe a chance to participate in the film.
Actually, it’s probably for the best that it worked out as it did. It’d be pretty hard to hear Schwarzenegger deliver all of that Lucas-written sci-fi jargon for more than one movie, let alone three.
