As if we needed another reason to fall deeper in love with this twin pack of perfect cinnamon rolls, Disney released this adorable as all hell video of John Boyega beatboxing for a rapping Daisy Ridley. Ridley’s rapping about what it was like filming The Force Awakens, spitting fire bars like, “We all up in the desert and we filming Star Wars / because of our diet we can eat no Mars bars.” Even more adorable is that their rap is accompanied by behind-the-scenes footage of the cast and all of the extras taking dance breaks during filming.

Prominently featured are shots of Admiral Ackbar cutting a rug, Oscar Isaac shaking his butt along with the Resistance forces all dancing outside the X-Wing hangar, so many stormtroopers dancing, and even Boyega dancing in front of Ridley during a break from shooting that heavy scene where Finn leaves Rey behind in the cantina. Oh, and you know what else? The video also has Ridley dancing with her obvious space-aunt Carrie Fisher outside the Millennium Falcon. They’re both having the best time, and honestly, it’s hard to not crack a smile while watching this immensely cute video. I just… I cannot even, friends.

I literally can. Not. Even. Oh, and because I know you were going to ask for it, here’s a GIF.

In the desert, what, in the desert what what. Go to lightspeed!
