A grand way to celebrate the Fourth of July, especially if you're still social distancing, as we are. It reminded me of how Disney+ celebrated May the Fourth by giving us both the end of the Clone Wars TV show and The Rise of Skywalker.
So I made you a little something.
You know how I enjoy writing song parodies (if that's the right term for them) and how I wrote a bunch of Disney/Star Wars ones last year. Well, here's another one. Only it's not Disney. It's Hamilton.
So, in honor of the Fourth of July, please enjoy my Emperor Palpatine rendition of "You'll Be Back." (The original song is in the below video.)
“I Came Back” – Parody of “You’ll Be
Back” from Hamilton
You say
The part of the Sith’s not a part that you’re willing to play.
You cry
By the sea while you whine about me to your eerie Jedi
Why so sad?
I’d rather I’d made an arrangement with you, little Rey
Kylo’s making me mad
Remember, despite our estrangement, I’m Granddad!

Why so sad?

Kylo’s making me mad
Remember, despite our estrangement, I’m Granddad!
I came back, soon you'll see
That the galaxy belongs to me.
That the galaxy belongs to me.
I came back, though I fell,
Try recovering from this plot bombshell.
Rebellions rise, Death Stars fall—
I’ve survived far longer than Darth Maul!
And when push comes to shove
I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!

You say your life force’s is draining
and you can't go on
You're hearing voices of Luke and Obi-Wan
And yes, your cause will founder,
'Cause I’m the Empire’s founder.
Its shrewd, sadistic founder
Ambitious, vicious founder
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
You're hearing voices of Luke and Obi-Wan
And yes, your cause will founder,
'Cause I’m the Empire’s founder.
Its shrewd, sadistic founder
Ambitious, vicious founder
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever
I came back like before
Built an army to restart the war
Built an army to restart the war
Here I wait on Exegol
‘Til you kill me and absorb my soul!
When I’m gone, fans get mad
So don't throw away this thing we had
'Cause when push comes to shove
I will destroy entire planets to remind you of my love!
