"The Saga Begins" is a '', from Obi-Wan Kenobi 's point of view. The song is particularly notable for giving an accurate account of the film, even though the song was written before the film was released. Yankovic says that he wrote the song based on information from Internet Spoilers . McLean not only approved the song, but he has also since said that his children have played it so much that he has a tendency to accidentally sing Yankovic's lyrics when performing " American Pie " in concert. TRACK LISTING The following tracks are on the single: # "The Saga Begins" – 5:27 THE SONG First verse It begins by turning "A long, long time ago, I can still remember..." into " A Long, Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far Away... ". "Obi-Wan" tells that Naboo was under an attack, and he and Qui-Gon Jinn were sent to deal with the Trade Federation . Their response "didn´t thrill us, they locked the doors and tried to kill us." Following that, they met Jar Jar Binks and Boss Nass , and took a bongo ( Gungan submarine) in order to get to Theed . There they rescue Queen Amidala , and end up in Tatooine , where they find a boy... Chorus Well, my, my, this here Anakin guy May be Vader some day later, now he's just a small fry He left his home, and kissed His Mommy goodbye Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" Second verse Obi-Wan sings about the " Junkyard Slave , {Link without Title} isn't even old enough to Shave ", but able to use The Force , about him "hitting on the queen, although he's just 9 and she's 14" and guessing they will Marry Someday . He says Anakin built C-3PO , and his pod is really fast, and when Jabba started the Podrace he knew he would win first place. (repeat chorus) Third verse Obi-Wan tells that once they get to Coruscant , Qui-Gon brings Anakin into the Jedi Council , tells them "the tale, how his Midi-chlorians were off the scale" and the council was impressed, thinking he would be the Chosen One . "They interview the kid. Oh, training they forbid", because Yoda sensed in him much fear. But Qui-Gon still says "Now listen 'ere! Just stick it in yer pointy ear! I still will teach this boy." (repeat chorus) Fourth verse At Amidala's request, they return to Naboo. And "in the end, some Gungan s died" (spoofing " The Day The Music Died " that is the motif of "American Pie"). Anakin gets into a Starfighter , blows up the Droid Control Ship and "a lot of folks were croakin', the Battle Droid s were broken". Qui-Gon Jinn dies fighting Darth Maul , and Obi-Wan decides to train the boy. (chorus 2x) MUSIC VIDEO
