We knew “Weird Al” Yankovic would not only appear in a Lego Star Wars summer vacation special, but sing a whole new song for it. And now that the special is out today on Disney+, the full song has also been released, and apparently? this rule.
It’s a short song, but it gives me early Miley Cyrus/Carly Rae Jepsen vibes, and I mean that in the best way possible:
Scarif, if you don’t remember, is the setting for Rogue One’s final act, the planet Jin Erso, Cassian Endor, and the crew infiltrate to steal the Death Star plans, and then all die horribly. It’s an odd place to hold a beach party for Lego’s Star Wars brand, especially since half of the Star Wars galaxy seems to be made up of planets of sand. But who is counting? Here’s the official synopsis for the special:
“Looking for a much-needed break from Stormtroopers and TIE Fighters, Finn makes a surprise addition to his friends Rey, Poe, Rose, Chevy, BB-8, R2-D2 and C-3Po aboard the ultra-luxurious Galactic Starcruiser. arranges a vacation. , Halison. But Finn’s plans to get together for one last time soon fail when he leaves the group. While searching for his friends, he encounters three Force ghosts: Obi- Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Leia Organa, who each share unexpected stories from their holidays gone wrong, helped them understand that the holidays are more than just having fun.”
Remember, Yankovic plays Vic Vankoh in the special, which I’d still argue is a good Star Wars name, but far less than Yan Kovic.
