When Star Wars Meets Country Music

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007 | Funny Ha-Ha, Star Wars |

If I was a country singer in search of a gimmick I’d wear a Darth Vader helmet and call myself Darth Brooks. Or maybe Garth Vader.

“You don’t know the power of the B side. I must obey my manager.”

“My new album is complete.”

“I find your lack of Faith Hill disturbing.”

“And now, your highness, we will discuss the location of your rebel moonshine still.”

“I see you’ve constructed a new doghouse. Your carpentry skills are complete.”

Don’t miss his hit single “I’ve Got Friends in Low Orbit” from his album, “Ropin’ Mace Windu.”

Bonus! - If you play a Darth Brooks song backwards your hand regrows and you get your space station back.

Darth Brooks or Garth Vader?

Given the existence of Darth Maul, Darth Brooks would be technically correct. I vote nonetheless for Garth Vader, for continuity with the model I painted yellow and identified as Taxi Vader.

Garth is so much more deepspace-country twangy than citified urban “Darth” - it’s like the difference between Hank and Henry…

Gotta go with Garth Vader. I like the humorous bits Les.
