/ @flickandrollfunhouse In a recent interview, Acolyte actor Charlie Barnett said that Anakin blew up the Death Star. His mistake inspired the song. The lyrics imagine an alternate Star Wars storyline where Anakin Skywalker, instead of fully succumbing to the dark side as Darth Vader, decides to blow up the Death Star, shocking both the Empire and the Rebels. This unexpected act of rebellion leads to chaos within the Empire and a celebration among the Rebels, ultimately redeeming Anakin and altering his legacy.

Lyrics:
Well, once upon a time in a galaxy so far,
There was a moody Jedi, yeah, we know who you are.
Anakin Skywalker, the chosen one they say,
But he took a left turn and went the Sith way.
But what if he changed his mind one starry night,
And decided blowing up the Death Star might be right?
Anakin, Anakin, what a twisty plot,
Blew up the Death Star, oh, what a shot!
Vader in the cockpit, flipping all the switches,
Tarkin's face so shocked, even Palpatine twitches.
He flew that TIE Fighter like a pod on Tatooine,
Dodging all the lasers, man, he looked so mean.
Saw the big red button, thought "Why the heck not?"
Pressed it with a smirk, gave it all he got.
Leia and Han cheering, Luke in disbelief,
"Is this our father? Wait, am I still asleep?"
Anakin, Anakin, what a crazy feat,
Blew up the Death Star, made the mission complete.
Stormtroopers scattering, trying to flee,
Vader's on the mic, saying, "Oops, that's on me."
So in this twisted tale from a galaxy so far,
Anakin's redemption is written in the stars.
No more Darth Vader, just a dad who made it right,
Blew up the Death Star, brought balance to the night.
Oh oh oh.
Brought balance to the night.
Oh oh oh.
Anakin, Anakin, redemption at last,
Blew up the Death Star, put his dark side in the past.
Lightsabers clashing, but now for the good,
Anakin the hero, who would've understood?
