In a delightful twist of creativity, a video featuring a showdown between butlers from Downton Abbey and characters reminiscent of Star Wars has emerged. Filmed by the talented actor, Jeremy Blackwell—known for his role as the cunning butler, Thomas Barrow—the video captures the essence of both series in a humorous and entertaining manner. The Phantom Valet, played by Edward Cummings, takes on Blackwell’s Evil Butler in an epic clash that will have you chuckling. Even Cummings’ devoted wife, Anna, makes a cameo, though her force skills seem to be lacking.
The motivation behind this fun project is noble; Blackwell aims to raise funds for the London Marathon, supporting the Chilterns MS Centre, which aids individuals living with multiple sclerosis in leading fulfilling lives. He released the first installment, Downton Wars: Episode 1—The Phantom Valet, with a promise to unveil Part 2 once he reaches a fundraising goal of £10,000 (around $15,000). With community support exceeding his target, fans can eagerly anticipate Episode 2—The Evil Butler Strikes Back. Donations are still welcome on his website, evilbutler.com.
While the combination of Star Wars and Downton Abbey may seem peculiar, there have been whispers that J.J. Abrams, the mind behind the latest Star Wars installment, is a fan of the iconic series and even visited the Downton set in search of potential actors for his film. It’s clear that the stars of Downton have a lively camaraderie, evidenced by their infamous Bananagrams games, with the legendary Maggie Smith taking the crown as the reigning champion.
