As always fantastic, hey, you know--you should submit these at badave.com under "Video Parodies" as well--they certainly qualify and since it is still small you'd probably get most of the video sections hits (it averages 30 hits a day)

Idea: 8 - If I knew Star Wars better this would be higher. Excellent matching to TOS.
Lyrics/humor: 4 - Not knowing Star Wars really, most of the humor went over my head. There's nothing that stands on its own, IMHO: iow, seeing the movies are a must to "get this". The repetition in the choruses didn't help either.
Singing: 7 - Not hard enough to be Rob Zombie, but solid effort.
Backing track: 3 - I would think a song with as much industrial beats and keyboard generated sounds as "Dragula" would come out better with MIDI or a karaoke track than it did. The choruses are really flat.
Production/mixing (audio): 5 - You were clipping in the choruses, causing a lot of static and pops. Maybe the mic input was too high?
Sound Effects/Bites: 7 - Used well, if sparsely.
Video: 8 - Very well done, especially getting the clips to "beat" in time with the music. Looks like you spent a lot of time on it. Adding the lyrics was a good touch, too.
Overall: 6 - You can't really do anything about my lack of things SW, so no fault there on your part. A better backing track and mixing so there is no popping in the choruses would make this album worthy though for SW fans.

(POTM) I thought the lyrics were cute and well paced. You do have a rather noticeable amount of clipping, which also made you sound restrained. I think that a better microphone could help you there (or software depending on your situation). . .Also, I recommend checking out Anvil Studio. It's a free midi editor, when you use midis--it can help in wondrous ways (it will allow you to remove the vocal tracks to make the backing track deeper, and you can do a lot of other stuff from there to)

Lyrically good, if a bit repetitive (the chorus did start to get on the nerves a bit); video superbly put together, but it would really be helped by a better quality audio.

I still want to know how you use actual video in your movies, because I want to do that for my movies. I didn't think the singing sounded that much like Rob Zombie, but it was still a cute parody, and a well done video.

Wow, that was an incredible job with the video (and I am a Star Wars fan, so I really enjoyed that). I echo what BAD and Red Ant said about the clipping and static. But I enjoyed listening, and overall it was a very good recording.
