NEW YORK, June 2 (UPI) -- The Saturday Night Live cast performed spot-on celebrity impressions alongside actual movie stars in new bonus footage of a Star Wars audition parody. The clip opens with SNL cast member Sasheer Zamata as singer Janelle Monae bringing a little more rhythm than needed into her screen chemistry shoot with Daisy Ridley.

Matthew McConaughey comes up next to persuade filmmakers to bring back Lando Calrissian, who was originally played by Billy Dee Williams in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. "Isn't it time to reunite with Lando Calrissian?" the actor asks. "Do I have a Lando voice -- Han Solo is that way -- I have a Lando voice," he adds.
Next up, SNL's Vanessa Bayer does a convincing impression of Jennifer Lawrence, down to the slip and fall before four other SNL regulars make up a faux Black Eyed Peas quartet.
Emma Stone also appears in the clip auditioning for Daisy Ridley's Rey while actual Star Wars actor John Boyega showcases an "urban Stormtrooper" monologue. Actor Jon Hamm also makes a memorable "space hands" appearance.
The bonus clip comes months after the show resurrected its famous sketch where celebrities failed their auditions for the sci-fi epic. The original sketch, aired in November, came just weeks before Star Wars: The Force Awakens released in theaters.
