You can’t go anywhere without hearing “Somebody That I Used to Know.” TV. Radio. Facebook. It’s everywhere. But there haven’t been that many people who have been able to successfully go out and parody it (and at least it isn’t a parody of “Call Me Maybe” which has been stuck in your head since Nintendo’s E3 press conference).
As with many viral successes, this parody is of the geek kind since whether or not the “cool kids” want to admit it, we geeks run the internet. The Star Wars That I Used to Know takes two perspectives, one comes from everyone’s favorite Sith Lord who feels his legacy has been destroyed and then the other from George Lucas who feels he has the right to change what people have come to know.
The Star Wars That I Used to Know is a great parody from the guys over at TeddieFilms.com, Eddie King and Tyler Marshall. Check out the full video after the jump!
About John Carle
The Definition of “Geek Chic.” Comic books, sci-fi movies, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Lord of the Rings and more all rolled up in a Diesel wearing, club going socialite package. Having worked in both advertising and television, John is a lifetime writer always being a part of the creative process. John knows the television world between his experience on being involved with the production process of over two hundred episodes of prime time tv and being a self admitted media whore.
Yes he has a weakness for trash tv, Michael Bay-esque action movies and the raunchy teen comedy as well. Never try to debate the Original Star Wars Trilogy versus Star Trek with him because the Holy Trilogy always comes out on top. Having partied with movie stars to Playboy centerfolds, John is somehow always able to find someone’s inner geek.
The simplest rules that John lives by is to have fun and doing what makes him happy. There’s no shame in being a geek. Play Halo, read Spider-Man and proudly display the whole series of Neon Genesis: Evangelion on your DVD rack. And most importantly, make sure to read his weekly comic book pull list reviews at The Flickcast.
