There has never been a funnier Tauntaun impression than Bill Hader’s.

Since the first appearance of the Tauntaun in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back there have been some funny impressions. Saturday Night Live cast member and comedian Bill Hader tops them all.
The guy is a huge Star Wars fan. “The first movie I remember seeing in a theater was The Empire Strikes Back with my dad,” Hader recalled. “And when the movie got to the part with the Tauntaun dying and he’s cut open and I saw all that rice-like innards, I freaked out. I was probably about 3 years old and that scene scared the crap out of me. But my earliest childhood memories are mostly about collecting the Star Wars toys. In fact, I knocked my first tooth out running around with my Millennium Falcon and I hit a wall by accident. I was doing about six parsecs to warm up for the Kessel Run.”
On the Conan O’Brien show, Bill Hader showed his impressive Tauntaun impression and explained how he’s been trying to work it into a sketch on “Saturday Night Live”.

What do you think of his impression? Can you do a better Tauntaun? Is there a Star Wars impression you like to do?
