Description

Star Wars themed parody of Bohemian Rhapsody (originally by The Queen). To understand this song you must know the storyline of the prequel* of the film series "Star Wars" (episodes I, II and III).




*Note: A "prequel" is like a "sequel" (second part of a story) but telling what happened before the original story, not afterterwards, as it usually happens.

Transcript

Act 1
I’ve got no real life-
I live on Tatooine-
Working for Watto
He just flaps like a buzzing bee.
Open my eyes
Two suns in the sky I see-
I’m just a slave boy, I got no place to be.
And so I build a pod, build a droid
Obi-Wan gets annoyed.
Where did Qui-Gon Jin go, does the Light side matter to me?
To me.

Mama, just met a man.
Put a needle in my arm
Got a look of deep alarm.
Mama, he says that I’m the One
And now he says that I must go away.
Mama, oooh.
Didn’t mean to make you cry,
If I don’t win the speed pod race tomorrow
Carry on, carry on - as if I were not splattered.

Too late – I saw her face.
And though I’m just a boy
I’ll gladly be her toy.
Goodbye Amidala, I’ve got to go –
Gotta go and fix the Force with Qui-Gon Jin.
Jar-Jar, oooh (worse than C3PO).
You’re surely Naboo’s pride
Though I sometimes wish you’d never been born at all.

Act II
I see a little tin tea kettle of a droid.
Boba Fett, Boba Fett was your father named Jango?
Clones and Dooku’s lightning - very very frightening me.
Master Yoda, Master Yoda,
Master Yoda, Master Yoda.
Master Yoda make him go.
Send in the clones.
I pout like a small boy, why does she love me?
He pouts like a small boy, in him what does she see?
This sad romance's just a monstrosity.
Laser gun, 3PO – Kenobi let me grow.
Mace Windu! No! We will not let you grow! (Let him grow!)
Mace Windu! We will not let you grow! (let him grow!)
Mace Windu! We will not let you grow! (let me grow!)
Will not let you grow! (Let me grow!).
Will not let you grow!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no-
Mama Schmi-o, Mama Schmi-o, Tusken Raiders let her go!
Lord Palpatine has a dark suit put aside for me, for me, for me.

Act III
So you think you can train me - just one more Jedi?
So you think you can burn me and leave me to die?
Kenobi, can’t do this to me Obi.
Just gotta go Dark, just gotta go Dark side, it’s clear.

The Light side doesn’t matter,
Anyone can see.
The Light side doesn’t matter. The Light side doesn’t matter to me.

Where did Qui-Gon Jin go…
