What Happened to the Star Wars That I Used to Know?

Despite appearing in six autobiographical films, a television series, countless novels, games and other media, there’s still a lot you don’t know about Darth Vader. For one, he is an ambidextrous Force choker – so versatile! Two, he’s a HUGE fan of long-running TV soaps “The Bad and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Armless”. Three, he can sing, and (unsurprisingly) isn’t exactly in love with the “improvements” that God keeps making to his backstory in prequels and special edition re-releases.

“The Star Wars That I Used to Know” by the folks at Teddie Films is a most excellent parody of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know”.

Not to be confused with OUR lyrical parody “Some Jedi That I Used to Know”, which is still waiting for a Producer to be attached.

Some Jedi That I Used to Know

Without further ado, the lyrics to Darth Vader’s (ft. Obi-Wan Kenobi) Smash Hit single “Some Jedi That I Used to Know” that’s taking the Galaxy by storm.

Now and then I think of when you were my Master
Like when you said you felt so happy I was a Jedi
Told myself that you were right, mostly
But felt so bored when you lectured me
But that was love and it ended when I got dismembered

You can get addicted to a certain kind of Sithness
Like resignation to the Emperor
Always the Emperor
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I was glad I’d rather swim in lava

But you didn’t have to cut my legs off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a Sith Lord
And that feels so rough
No you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends hide my children
And then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just a Jedi that I used to know 
Now you’re just a Jedi that I used to know 
Now you’re just a Jedi that I used to know 

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed the Jedi Order
Part of me believing it was always something that I’d done
But I don’t wanna live that way
Become more powerful than you can imagine anyway
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on some Padmé that you used to know…

But you didn’t have to cut my arm off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you tell my son I’m twisted and evil
And that feels so rough
No you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends hide my children
And then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just a Jedi that I used to know 
Now you’re just a Jedi that I used to know 
Now you’re just a Jedi that I used to know 

(Some Jedi)
I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know

Some Jedi…
