A review by Jonathan Fesmire
The lyrics cover the story of Star Wars: Episode I from Obi-Wan Kenobi's point of view. In
the video, Weird Al himself plays Obi-Wan, acting as front-man for a Jedi rock band while they perform
at the Mos Eisley Cantina. It's funny, yet strangely poignant. The cantina crowd includes some
strange aliens, and isn't that Darth Sidious playing the piano?
Weird Al sure looks different with a shave and a Jedi apprentice hair style. Overall, a wonderful
tribute to Star Wars by the master of musical parody.
The song begins:
