The Day the Star Wars Died

Rating: 4/10 (22 December 2017)

A long long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away)
I can still remember how
That story used to make me smile
And I knew if I had a cape
That I could give those people an escape
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But December made me bummed
When social media gave the sum
Backlash on the doorstep
I soon lost all of my pep
I can't remember if I cried
When I saw Hamill, post-premiere, so wide-eyed
Something touched me deep inside
The day the Star Wars died
So
Bye, bye Star Wars Franchise
Drove my Chevy to the movies but the movie was lies
And them good ole fans were dressed in costume and lights
Singin' this'll be the day that I cry
This'll be the day that I cry
Did you write this book of hate?
Why give Luke such a whimper of fate
Did the Mouse tell you so?
Why could you not let go of your own ego?
And tell a tale with some real soul?
Instead, you spewed a dog and pony show
Who cares if Rose loves Finn?
And their fruitless trip to ol' Canton?
The crowd had plenty of boos
You didn't follow ANY of the rules!
I was hoping to find out who was Snoke
Turns out he was a common bloke
But, we're to blame for giving a toke?
The day the Star Wars died
I started singin'
Bye, bye Star Wars Franchise
Drove my Chevy to the movies but the movie was lies
And them good ole fans were dressed in costume and lights
Singin' this'll be the day that I cry
This'll be the day that I cry
Should've known that Luke was alone
Reading what he said in the Rolling Stone
Mouse Puppet gave him little dignity
Sure, the landscapes were so serene
Made me feel like we were in dream
Then the silver faded off the screen
While the crowd was mesmerized
The Mouse King killed their beloved prize
He dazzled them with bells and whistles
So the Falcon couldn't run the Kessel
And while Lucas said his name is Paul
May the Farce stay between you all
And we lamented in the stadium's dark
The day the Star Wars died
We were singin'...
