Blackadder themes parody – Star Wars
While reading Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, I came up with an idea for a parody because some of the lyrics of the Blackadder music fitted Jacen and his 'journey' to the dark side well. Well, enjoy.
Season 1
Episodes 1 - 5
The sound of boot beats 'cross the glade
Good folk, lock up your son and daughter
Beware the deadly flashing blade
Unless you want to end up shorter
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, he rides a pitch-black steed
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, he's very bad indeed
Black, his gloves of finest mole
Black, his codpiece made of metal
His horse is blacker than a vole
His pot is blacker than his kettle
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, with many a cunning plan
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, you horrid little man
Episodes 6
So now the wage of sin is paid.
The blade has struck. The black steed grazes
The only sound across the glade,
Is Jacen pushing up the daisies.
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, a shame about the plan
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, farewell you horrid man
Substitutes/Explanations
Black steed – Jacen's personal Star Destroyer Anakin Solo
Season 2
Episode 1
So Skywalker tweaked the Sith Lord's beard
From now, he always shall be single
Relationships are often weird
Especially those without a tingle
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, his taste is rather odd
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, the randy little sod
Oh, Zekk, oh, Zekk, I wish you were the star
Oh, Zekk, oh, Zekk, you're sexier by far
Episode 2
His great ancestor was a king
Although, for only thirty seconds
When put in charge of beheading
He felt that fame and glory beckoned
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, no such bloomin' luck
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, Kaminoan schmuck
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, nothing goes as planned
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, life deals him a bum hand
Episode 3
Darths Revan, Bane and Vader had
Discovered new worlds and new nations
And though Darth Caedus thought them mad
He tried his hand at navigation
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, he saw the galaxy's foam
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, he should have stayed at home
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, he heard the universe's call
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, discovered bugger-all
Episode 4
Take heed the moral of this tale:
Be not a borrower or lender
And, if your finances do fail,
Make sure your banker's not a bender
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, he trusted in the church
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, it left him in the lurch
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, his life was almost done
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, who gives a toss? No one
Episode 5
Darth Caedus couldn't hold his fear
The art of fencing he's not mastered
And I, your merry balladeer
Am also well and truly plastered
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, a bit like Robin Hood
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, but nothing like as good
Darth Cae- hic!, Darth Caedus, I thought that he had died
Darth Caedus, Darth Caedus, the writers must have lied
Episode 6
Beware, all ye who lust for fame
The path of life most uncertain
Darth Caedus thought he won the game
But now the kraut's gone for a burton
Oh, Jaina, oh, Jaina, she beats the Sith by luck
Oh, Jaina, oh, Jaina, she's smarter than a duck
Pellaeon, Pellaeon, intelligent and deep
Pellaeon, Pellaeon, a shame about the sheep
Substitutes/Explanations
Episode 1
Fourth line is a small reference to Anakin and Padme, given how it was handled in the prequel trilogy
Episode 4
I can't really give substitutions for the first few lines, but I guess it could be the elements of trust within the series. 'The church' could be a reference to the Jedi.
