'The Star Wars That I Used To Know' - Gotye 'Somebody That I Used To Know' Parody

Our spoof of the Gotye hit "Somebody That I Used To Know"-Star Wars style.
It's a story of heartbreak to which Star Wars fans everywhere can relate. And even with all that heart ache, it's still a better love story than Twilight.

This is a parody song. We recorded our own music and wrote new lyrics to create this.

LYRICS

[DARTH:]
Now and then I think of when I was in power
Like choking people with the Force until they died
But then you told them all my history
And took away my masculinity
And had my character portrayed by subpar actors.

You are now addicted to an overuse of graphics
And making Greedo shoot first? Han shot first.
So when you tried to have the Force make sense
You introduced the midichlorians
And what's the deal with having me be dubbed over (Noooooooooo!)

But you didn't have to change it all.
Make 'em like they never happened and the fans are nothing
I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a Bantha and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to make them blow
Have your friends direct your movies and they'll turn out better.
You think that you don't need them though
What happened to the Star Wars that I used to know

What happened to the Star Wars that I used to know
What happened to the Star Wars that I used to know

[GEORGE LUCAS:]
Now and then I think of all the times I screwed fans over.
I had them believing that the first three films were really done.
But Star Wars will be done my way
I don't care what you have to say
I think that they should let it go
And they'll never get the Blu-Ray of the Star Wars that you used to know

[DARTH:]
You didn't have to change it all.
No more puppets, no more practical effects or nothin'
I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a wampa and that feels so cold.
No you didn't have to sell your soul
Do we really need to watch them all again in 3D?
Jar Jar was an all time low
What happened to the Star Wars that I used to know

[x2]
The movies
(I used to know)
The movies
(What happened to the Star Wars that I used to know)

(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
(That I used to know)

[mirage]

I am 11 years too late, but star wars never fails to disappoint...

[osqwymt]

Damn, people were typing 2 years ago this aged well… Acolyte isn’t even fully out, but this song is relevant now more than ever before

[singedcarry]

This song popped up in my recommendations a day after The Acolyte came out, lol.

[EwwyGooey]

This song is more relevant today than it was when it came out in 2012

[sharkbaitoohhahha]

This song will never age. 11 years later and I still get an urge to come here.

Timeless.

[KarolSiwy]

Sweet summer child, how little you knew back then... Amazing how with every new SW production, this song is getting more and more accurate (to give you context, I am writing this straight after watching Acolyte ep. 3...)

[DarkNobleSon]

Years later and this song hurts me to my soul. Thank you, Disney

[gomezfriesen]

How did I not see this until 2024?!
I've seen every other parody of this song, and have watched so many star wars dissing videos! It's like YouTube doesn't even know me.

[elliotbishop]

Wow, this aged extremely well for all the wrong reasons.

[bllack]

We had no idea that the Acolyte would be so bad. And here we are, brought back together by the will of the force. I really hope that we, fans of star wars will unite

[doodmonkey]

Acolyte wasn't even born yet when this parody was made.

[DizzyWolf]

Love how George's background becomes a green screen at the end

[aidenvalentine]

Imagine getting screamed at by a naked George Lucas with paint all over his body because you preferred the original trilogy.

[BandidFourLife]

Half way thru 2024 and hits harder now more than ever. Our past selfs wouldn't believe us if we told them what's going on now.

[joelthompson]

That switch to the green screen backdrop behind Lucas was a stroke of genius.

[nikunashi]

'You'll never get a blueray of the Star Wars that you used to know' - you are killing me.

[scottlidstone]

"Jar Jar was an all time low" Oh, you sweet summer child. 😂

[fernandosilva]

Disney: "You are mad about Lucas' changes? Hold my beer..."

[dovah_king]

"You didn't have to kill solo!! " Would work perfectly if they remade this

[jeffro]

This just shows how much content there really is on YouTube. How have I never seen this!?
