Singin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi..."

Today is the 15th anniversary of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Say what you will about that film (there's certainly more than enough to criticize), it did provide us with Qui-Gon Jinn. So there.

In the mood for a bit of nostalgic wallowing, I thought I'd dust off a few of my related past posts from the vault:

I'll have to go through all of this when I have more time, but:

Today is the 15th anniversary of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

YEGADS, way to make me feel more ancient than I already do. I remember being SO EXCITED to relive my childhood, and standing in line for tix and everything!

So say we all!

And how had I never even heard about this Weird Al song before? I've only listened to part of it so far and it's already BRILLIANT! How did I miss it?!

"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" absolutely brilliant. I never saw this before.Thanks for sharing it and "The Battle of the Trees"

[eldritchhobbit]

Oh, my pleasure! I'm so tickled you liked them!

My sister and I can sing that Weird Al anthem backwards and forwards. It crawls into your head and never leaves, LOL. Good thing that it's brilliant! ;)

I think I'm going to learn it for when the new movie comes out and I go to see it. I always go with my friend Judy to these sorts of movies as she's the only one I know who 'gets it.' (her daughter is the successful author Holly Black and was a tremenous influence on her daughter)

[eldritchhobbit]

Perfect! You couldn't ask for a better song - or a more appropriate movie companion! (I think it's brilliant that you know her. It's good to hear that Holly Black inherited her awesomeness from her mom!)

1) I MISS STAR WARS FANDOM 2) I love that song so much I have it on CD

[eldritchhobbit]

1) YES! I do, too!!!!! 2) That is awesome. I think it was my go-to sing-in-the-shower song for something like 18 straight months, LOL. Once it's in your head, it stays there!

[eldritchhobbit]

Yay! :D

I saw your post on tumblr and then remembered you from QOsuport lj. I'm the mod there. I'm also the Knights of Twilight blog on tumblr lol I adore Qui-Gon Jinn. I'm guessing you too?

[eldritchhobbit]

Fantastic! Thanks for tracking me down (and for all you do for the SW community). You're right: I adore him to bits. He's my favorite Jedi (and that's really saying something), and one of my favorite SF characters, period.
