There are literally thousands of parody songs about Star Wars out there. There is no way I could review them all and decide which are “best”, so I decided just to feature five songs that I personally really like. [Ed: We did one with The Beatles’ song Yesterday many years ago.]

5. “Jedi Drinking Song” by John Ryan of the Dust Rhinos
I’m a big fan of Celtic style drinking songs, so of course this one caught my ear. Its a funny little tune about drinking a little too much and finding yourself trying to become a Jedi.
Favorite line: “I looked that puppet in the eye and said give me the test”

4. “We Didn’t Start The Star Wars” by Mikey Squirrel
This parody is as catchy as the song its tuned to. While its mostly just a list of characters, planets, and other aspects of Star Wars, there are little jokes thrown in. The rhyming is really clever, and the video is fun to watch.
Favorite line: “We didn’t start the Star Wars, no we didn’t dream them but we went and seen them”

3. “Yoda” by Weird Al Yankovic
Weird Al Yankovic is the king of parody songs, so it would be rude not to mention him here. Weird Al actually does three Star Wars songs, but I chose just one. “Yoda” makes me laugh every time I hear it. Its just so well put together, and goes so well with the original song, “Lola” by The Kinks. He also does “Livin’ La Vida Yoda” and “The Saga Begins”.
Favorite line: “The long term contract I had to sign says I’ll be making these movies till the end of time with my Yoda”

2. “Star Wars Theme Song” by Goldentusk
A creative song set to the tune of the main theme of A New Hope. A lot of work was put in to the video and the lyrics. And he does all three movies in five minutes.
Favorite line: “May the Force always be with you, if its not, you’ll end up just like Anakin”

1. “Star Wars Cantina” by Richard Cheese
This is my favorite Star Wars parody song! Richard Cheese fits this song with Barry Manillow’s “Copacabana” perfectly. It will get stuck in your head for days and days!
Favorite line: “In that galaxy far, far away Luke has had a lousy day”

1. Dantooine: Go camping on one of Dantooine’s luscious valley floors, where the rebel base is definitely not located.

1. ...you frequently get headaches trying to move things with your mind.


2. …you say “Use the Foooorce” in completely serious situations.

4. …you don’t care that a parsec is not a measurement of time.


5. …Jar Jar Binks makes you cry.


6. …Mark Hamil calls you a Star Wars nerd.

An amazing series of scans on Flickr from user Drhaggis that show an old 1982 Mad Magazine humorous article that predicts several events that came in the prequels almost 20 years later. It talks about Yoda on Kashyyk, the creation of C3PO, Vader being created by the force and so much more.

Wrote this with my sister many, many years ago when this site began. Recently rediscovered.
(later re-done by The Beatles)
Yesterday, the rebellion seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly, ObiWan’s half the man he used to be,
And his shadow’s hanging over me.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why he had to go I don’t know he wouldn’t say. (“Strike me down and I will become more powerful than you can imagine?”)
I kept whining along, now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday, the practice droid was such an easy game to play.
Now losing limbs is here to stay…
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

I have asked a few Seinfeld webmasters for the answer- will update when I know. Please comment below if you have an idea.

Holonet News has a very interesting report on a certain stolen speeder from a building in Coruscant; quite funny.

There are also other stories on the site straight out of Episode II or indirectly referring to it.
