Parody Written by:

Alex Morris

A young man named Luke was seething with frustration (with frustration)
'Cause his uncle had given him an order (an order)
He had wanted to go into Toshi Station (Toshi Station)
And pick up a brand new power converter (converter)
But he did as bade and cleaned Artoo Deetoo up (-too Deetoo up)
And triggered a fragment of a video (video)
And he swore that things would change after he grew up (-ter he grew up)
The Academy is where he planned to go (planned to go)

Chasing droids down wasn't Luke's idea of fun (-dea of fun)
A young Jedi's lot is not a happy one (happy one)

Old Ben saved Luke then they watched what Artoo carried (Artoo carried)
And Ben told Luke what he could do if he willed (if he willed)
Luke became concerned that he had too long tarried (too long tarried)
But it was too late; Luke's family was killed (-ly was killed)
Luke made up his mind: without Ben he'd be hard up (he'd be hard up)
"We're approaching the spaceport of Mos Eisley (Mos Eisley)
We must be cautious and always keep our guard up (keep our guard up)
It's a wretched hive of scum and villainy" (villainy)

Seeking passage offworld cost them a great sum (a great sum)
A young Jedi's lot is not a happy one (happy one)

They arrived, and Ben, suspicious, said, "That's no moon" (said that's no moon)
Their ship was captured; they sneaked inside unseen (-side unseen)
The princess was pleased to be rescued and so soon (-cued and so soon)
And Kenobi had shut down the tractor beam (tractor beam)
They escaped; the rebels waged the final battle (final battle)
Luke turned on the Force, turned off his target screen (target screen)
He thought back, as he tuned in to Old Ben's prattle, (Old Ben's prattle)
"Like bullseyeing womp rats in my T-sixteen" (T-sixteen)

Now the Death Star's been destroyed, this battle won (battle won)
A young Jedi's lot might be a happy one... (happy one)

Great idea - IMO, execution could have been bettered, though.

Do you hang around the messageboard at all, Alex? Drop me a PM (to philbo), and I'll point out where I think it could be improved.

This is an excellent idea , almost gave me the idea write a parody like this called ``Darth Vader killed his mentor , Obi-Wan'' but I may not write it. I did think that pacing was a bit off , and I know because I'm the Sergeant in the Pirates of Penzance play I'm in.
