Usually when Jimmy Fallon does “The Wheel,” he’s making his guest do musical impressions. With Riz Ahmed on the show last night, he switched things up a bit and had him do a freestyle (since he’s a rapper, aside from acting). And considering he’s in the upcoming Star Wars: Rogue One film, every word chosen had that specific theme.
Backed by The Roots, Riz had to rhyme words like Yoda, Darth Vader, and Lando Calrissian and did so effortlessly. Well, all of them except for the last one.
He also talked about auditioning for Star Wars, telling a funny story about it.
