A song of solace for the engineer who designed the Death Star. #Star Wars #LOL

lyrics

Death of a Star

Out here in space, only one thing still marvels man:
the depth and fire of stars.

So, like any good engineer, I planned to build a wonder:
a star of my own--one to rival the suns--
for it will not give life, but death.

I built her--a wonder to behold;
nearly perfect, but for one minor flaw.
I told that Wookiee not build that exhaust port,
but, oh, how he argued: more concerned with red tape than the art.

CHORUS

And I hate those Jedi, those rule breakers;
there's no equation for The Force--
in their world, physics fails to have meaning.
That shot was one in a million,
but that Skywalker made it.
And now my masterpiece is destroyed.

CHORUS
Oh, it would have given death;
but now it's destroyed.
