Funny Rey Song | SECOND TO LAST JEDI | Star Wars Musical

I’m a big fan of Star Wars and wanted to share my analysis of what Rey was thinking as she tried to figure out the Jedi Mind Trick in “The Force Awakens” the best way I know how – through glorious song!

Ring the notification bell to know when I release a new music video. Comedy songs ‘n’ raps, awesome stars, and more are on the way!

** LYRICS **
This isn't ideal. It's downright dumb.
It looks like the end of the line for me here and frankly I'm terribly glum
That the promising future where I get to train with Luke Skywalker won't ever come
And these shackles I'm shackled in sure seem robust so I'm stuck here on my bum
In a base this huge I feel so tiny
Oh and why's that tall Stormtrooper shiny?
If I could just find a way into this tin man's head, I
Might survive to become the second-to-last Jedi
You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open.
(Stormtrooper: What did you say?)

He responded. That's a start.
There's a glimmer of hope in this possibly-orphaned Jakkuvian scavenger's heart
I can do this, I swear it, by each little line that I drew like a loneliness chart
I can do this, I swear it, by each little meal that would always taste just like a fart
By the bloke I like more than I care to
By my sensible three-level hairdo
I call on the Force and if somehow this works, I said I
Might survive to become the second-to-last Jedi
You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open.
(Stormtrooper: I'll tighten those restraints, scavenger scum.)

I'm done for! Blast it!
Thought I had him for a sec
But it turns out I'm screwed which has ruined my mood and now I'm a nervous wreck
Focus! Get past it!
Do the trick you did back when
Without even trying, you found yourself spying on the mind of Kylo Ren
You will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open.
(Stormtrooper: I will remove these restraints and leave this cell with the door open.)
Whaaaat?
(He unlocks the restraints.)

Ta-da! See ya, big guy!
I cannot believe that it worked, but it worked, and I honestly do not know why
If I hurry away before they even know I've fled I
will be well on my way or at least one step closer to having a chance to become
the second-to-last Jediiiiii!
And you'll drop your weapon.
(he does)
Yes!

** THANKS FOR WATCHING! :) **

If you made it all the way to here, comment "I hope Daisy Ridley sees this" below!

My dream is for Daisy Ridley to somehow see this silliness. :) Also, I *may* have put a reference in these lyrics to one of the big rap battles we’re working on so have fun deciphering that! Thanks for watching and sharing. You rock!

[aisingularity]

So you played both Princess Leia and Rey. Talented producer, singer and script writer among other things I am sure. Great job.

[VenhedisKaffas]

"Ta-Da!!!"...Okay, I'm dead XD
This song is amazing.

[nishanthmohan]

Not only the musicals, but her rap battles are amazing too. Superb word play, choreography and concept. Whitney rocks.

[JonasAlmostFamous]

Well now I need a Star Wars musical in my life

[_lisa_]

I hope Daisy Ridley sees this! Not a big fan of Star Wars, but this was, hands down, amazing! :)

[shaylasfar]

This musical is beautiful!!! Can’t wait until this come outs on ITunes!! Thank you for making Star Wars more amazing!!

[staciephillips]

Ah like always this is amazing! Hope Daisy sees this. This video makes me so excited and pumped for The Last Jedi!

[darrel]

'Whaaat?"     That was funny.

And the Rey in this video showed more depth then the official version.  It is interesting how her  showing a little doubt adds more depth to the character, but makes her seem stronger in the end,

[aubrieangel]

"And you'll drop your weapon...yes!" 😂😂😂😂

[Cristopheles]

I love the musical feel of it. Whitney's voice actually reminded me of Julie Andrews in this one.

[queendsheena]

This is the best Star Wars related item of 2017 and maybe even 2018. Kudos Whitney and company.

[almoores]

“I cannot believe that it worked but it worked and I honestly do not know why!” The sequel trilogy in a nutshell😂🤦‍♀️

[DaniFantoma]

I would honestly watch every Star Wars movie as a musical if it had you writing and directing it. This version was fantastic!

[eediebaker-thompson]

Omg!!! It's so catchy!!! I love you so much Whitney❤️❤️

[Artislife]

The Stormtrooper dancing at the end makes me happy

[shirleykeeldar]

This is wonderful! Gilbertian-level lyrics, good music, excellent singing and Star Wars references!

[snoproblem]

An early Christmas gift for us 1st Gen Star Wars fans! Yay, Whitney Claus!

It's occurred to me, not for the first time, that Star Wars should have gone with a more humorous tone from the beginning. That would have been an effective cure for the prequels.

"Aaaand I will drop my weapon." XD

[gwang]

If all of the Star Wars franchise were this humorous and lighthearted from the beginning and had lots of catchy songs like this, then I would have liked it a whole lot more. :)

[scottandrewhutchins]

You should totally expand this into a full-length Star Wars musical parody and do it in the East Village.
