A long, long time ago in a galaxy far away, Star Wars didn’t feel like masochism. How low the mighty have fallen. In the contemporary onslaught of over-saturating commercialism and shameless pandering, you’re far from alone in feeling like some battered lover inescapable addicted to their abusive spouse. Like Jabba the Hutt to his prized frozen smuggle, we just can’t let it go. Now with the franchise being paved with increasingly more and more unnecessary retcons and childishness nonsense scarring memories and beloved classics…this does beg the question “What happened to the Star Wars that I used to know?” Lucas always shoots first. Unlike Greedo…when we shoot back, we stay on target. The internet has become lined with Star Wars fan backlash expressed through creative parodies like documentaries, reviews, spoof trailers, and now music videos like this genius satire of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know,” offering a therapeutically funny look to the dark side downfall of it all.
