Some videos are so bizarre that they simply defy explanation. This is one of those videos. Inspired by the latest Star Wars movie, the video below features a man donning a Kylo Ren costume and playing The Final Countdown on a set of bagpipes. Towards the end of the video, he breaks out into the classic Star Wars theme song from John Williams.
Not impressed? Not to worry, there’s a whole lot more to this video than that. For starters, the man in the video plays the bagpipes while balancing atop of the BB-8 droid that was recently introduced in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And oh yeah, did we mention that the bagpipe doubles as a makeshift flamethrower?

Curious about the guy behind this madness, I hopped on over to his YouTube page and discovered that he has a huge selection of videos featuring himself playing songs with his flaming bagpipes, in a wide assortment of costumes of course.
The backdrop to this video – featuring Darth Vader playing flaming bagpipes atop a unicycle – couldn’t be more fitting. Spoiler: the mystery musician is from Portland.
