Title
When You Wish Upon A Death Star
In 2009 when it was announced that Disney
bought Marvel, I quickly posted a song about it at the FuMP
.com called "Marvel Poppins", which
the fans really seemed to enjoy.
Three weeks ago when it was announced that Disney bought Lucasfilm, known
primarily for the "Star Wars"
franchise, within hours I was inundated with emails, texts, tweets,
and Facebook messages from people demanding that I do a follow up
song on this topic, including an email inquiry from Dr.
Demento himself. And with that I said, "Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go."
So, with the Star Wars franchise's history of making alterations to
their films and re-releasing them into theaters, I present to you
now a sneak preview of what to expect the next time you go to the
cinema to see the saga again under it's new mouse-ear-hat-wearing,
pixie-dust-laiden management. You're welcome.
Music by Supreme Chancellor Bob Emmet
Guest vocals by Princess Carrie Dahlby
and Prince Chris Mezzolesta
of Power Salad

I notice there are currently two songs on the main page that draw on "This Is Halloween".

I am so glad to hear this. Everything in this piece was done so very well I would have never guessed how quickly this was made.

Wow -- this is a masterpiece! And you are obviously a master at anything related to Star Wars!

Goddammit this is supreme Luke Ski at its finest! Was that a singing Sarlacc? Remember folks, Luke Ski shot first.

The best Luke Ski is the long-form, multi-parody, super-goddamned-ambitious Luke Ski. Well done, guys.

Holy crap is this ever intricately epic! Everything was perfectly woven together. I guffawed at the New Groove reference, but was blown away by the character scat singing. Did you actually vacation during your Disney vacation or just spend it furiously crafting this masterpiece?

Okay, that's freakin' hysterical. Major props to Carrie and Chris, minor godhood to Bob, and... Luke. My man. Only a whack job like you could conceive of this, and thank the Force you did. Just excellent.

Wow nice job putting this all together Luke, and thanks Mike and Carrie for the accolades. I think I hear some of Chris Mezzolesta's amazing vocals in there too, no?
dino-mike - Nov 20, 2012
Wow, dude... this is seriously impressive, especially given the time restraints. I must give a standing ovation to Bob for knocking it out-of-the-park in such a quick amount of time too. Great job all involved.

This is waaaaay awesome. "I've got a Fett in me" made me snort. You put a lot of work into that one Luke. Good job. :)

So. Much. Win. Luke truly is the chosen one...

Wonderful stuff!! I can't wait to see audience reactions when this is done at cons.
Carrie Dahlby - Nov 20, 2012
OMG yes, so well done, and thanks Chris for making it extra awesome, and holy crap Bob.... wow! Just wow!

As a hardcore Disney fan, this makes me incredibly happy. And thank you for throwing Jar Jar out of a window.
Uncle Lumpy - Nov 21, 2012
"Asphyxiate JarJar"... What a wonderful phrase.
Zel_et_al - Nov 21, 2012
I could identify NEARLY every song used in this TRULY AWESOME compilation. SO BRILLIANT!!! I was BOPPING along with "I Wanna Be Like Yoda" cuz Phil Harris (Baloo) & Louie Prima (King Louie)did such an outstanding job on the Original!

OMG... So funny!
artpaul - Nov 27, 2012
It's Brilliant ! Why didn't I think of that ?
voiceroy - Nov 30, 2012
[applauds] When it comes to Star Wars spoofs, Luke, you are a master lyricist.
TheDrDon - Dec 10, 2012
Curious. I was not aware that Disney or Lucas owned "Burn Notice". Or did you just throw that line in because it fit?
carlau - Jan 6, 2013
