Say what you will of The Force Awakens, its premiere was one of the most memorable experiences I’ll ever have. I saw it with all my friends, opening night, in a PACKED theatre. And it was fun!
The next month, I was still thinking about it somehow, so I scribbled this down in a notebook (a physical one, so I have no idea where it is). Felt like a god damn genius until I realized I had no way to make an actual song out of it, since I didn’t know anything about music.
Fast forward two years. I’ve now put out… two… albums. And made a handful of original songs.
And Episode VIII is finally here! Now seemed like the perfect time to resurrect the idea. It turned out great! Well, the song at least. IDK about the visuals I just kinda threw them together.
Lyrics:
Po, can steer, a rebel ship
Rey, a budding padawan
Maz, the wise, and ancient one
Finn, a soldier on the run
So, an old retired rogue
Lo, a name to follow So
Ren, his somewhat evil son
And that brings us back to
Po
Rey
Maz
Finn
So
Lo
Ren
Po
Let’s go again, shall we?
But this time, lets incorporate some corporate market research!
Po, who’s queer, for Finn in fics
Rey, the super Mary Sue
Maz, who must, be Yoda’s clone
Finn, who’s only in for goofs
So, Harrison Ford is back?
Lo, and behold a short contract
Ren… whose real name… is Ben
And that brings us back to
Star
Wars
Will
Make
Lots
Of
Money
Interesting notes:
- I, no joke, recorded the vocals in a studio.
- I made the instrumental from completely free VSTs I got online, and I am rather proud of it.
