May the Fourth (Be With You)! Happy Star Wars Day! We celebrate it the way we do best: with some of our favorite nerdy songs about one of our favorite sci-fi space adventures. Check them out!
“Fett’s Vette” – MC Chris
Because bounty hunters have got to make bank for their sweet rides, too.

“The Saga Begins” – “Weird Al” Yankovic
Aw. Do you remember how excited we were for Episodes I-III? And how relieved everyone was when we were finally redeemed with The Force Awakens? Yup.

“This Is A Rebellion” – Bobby Roberts (Geek: Remixed)
Geek: Remixed takes on different iconic nerd musical themes and recombines them into something glorious and edgy. “This is Rebellion” is no exception, mashing samples from the new “Rogue One” A Star Wars Story” trailer with orchestration from “Star Wars” and “The Empire Strikes Back.” Geek: Genius.
“Chewbacca” – Megathruster
Our Portland pals just released their first album, “20 Sided Vice,” last week, just in time for the holiday! A song of love and loss dedicated to a Chewbacca cosplayer who has stolen their hearts, you’ll be making harmony Wookiee ululations in no time. Featuring our own trained monkey guitarist Christian.
“Sorry, Wrong Star” – The PDX Broadsides
Did we mention we’ve got a Star Wars song, too? WE DO. The saga of the Three Wise Men following the Death Star was originally written for the winter holidays, but we won’t judge if you want to play it year-round.
