Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight (Hamilton Star Wars Parody Music Video)

Hamilton and Star Wars are not my creations, but I do love them!
The music video I put together from almost 40 different Star Wars clips.
I stuck to Lin-Manuel Miranda's rhyme pattern and flow but used original lyrics as much as possible.

Any errors are the result of my taking creative license with the material.

Please enjoy and share!
More videos coming.
Lyrics below:

How does a desert orphan, raised by his aunt
And his uncle, dumped on a little backwater lump of Hutts
That we call Tattooine, by twist of fate the true born son
Of Vader, grow up to build and master a light saber?

The droid saver, farmin’ vapor with no translator
Got a lot greater by bein’ a lot braver
By joinin’ the right freighter, by garnerin’ Han’s favor
In the canteen, he jumped on the ship of a trouble-maker

And every minute while planets were being lasered and made into fragments
Wearin’ that helmet, he struggled and practiced blade-work
Inside, he was searchin’ for a Force that wouldn’t waver
Our hero was ready to find. that. princess and save her!

They took Leia down the drain, but Lord Vader brought the pain
Our man saw his mentor give, givin’ up the game
Heard a voice inside his cockpit, disconnected the mainframe
Then he put ‘em all to shame, blew that Death Star into flames

Well, he had to flee Hoth, that battle was so insane, man
Took off straight for Yoda so the little guy could train him
Unlearn what you have learned, but you won’t come back the same
And the Emperor will know your name
What’s your name, man?

Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight
My name is Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight
And there’s a million troopers still to fight
But that’s my fate, that’s my fate

When he was born, his father torn, full of scorn, bod fryin’
Not long after, Kenobi took him from his mom dyin’
Sis gone, Princess of Alderaan, but Obi-Wan

Never told the secret, so they kissed in front of Han

Luke went off to Bespin, but Bespin contained a trap inside
Lando had rigged up the carbonite, Vader cut Luke’s right, that voice saying
“I am your father, you know it’s true” (Darth Vader, deeper voice?)

He started free-fallin’ and callin’ out to Leia and her crew

He should’ve had nothin’ left of course, but still he had the Force
He should’ve been dead or turned off course, without a fist to fight the Wars with
Started healin’, dealin’ with the losses that he could afford
Stickin’ on a robot hand and buildin’ his own laser sword
Scammin’ for every advantage he can think of
Plannin’ to save Solo, see him now on the brink of the pit of the Sarlacc, starin’ evil in the eye

At Jabba’s you can be a Jedi
At Jabba’s you can be a Jedi
At Jabba’s you can be a Jedi
At Jabba’s you can be a Jedi
That’s my fate!

Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight

Droids are waiting in disguise for you

You would never back down
Whenever lives were on the line

Oh, Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight

When the galaxy cries for you
Will they know how you reached the top?
Will they know you redeemed your pop?
These films are never gonna stop, no

R2 has launched his saber now,
Watch them take the palace

A full-fledged Jedi Knight, here to restore the balance

The Emperor destroyed his dad, the galaxy faced malice

We fought with him

Me, I died for him

Me, trusted him I did

Me, I kissed him (rrwharrgh)

And me, I’m the damn fool that shocked him

There’s a million sequels left to write
But that’s our fate

What’s your name, man?
Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight!
