Pela primeira vez o
SWCC-PT aperesenta um post bilingue. Perceberão porquê...
Jimmy Mac returns with his vol. 8 of the always interesting
A Galaxy of Music Force-cast microcasts. This one is holds a very special flavour to us, the
SWCC-PT and the
STAR WARS community in Portugal at large.
The first (of the many) great songs of this show is performed by
"Weird" Al Yankovic, with a parody of the well known 1971
American Pie song. "Weird" Al dubbed it "
The Saga Begins" and we include its full lyrics so you can duly appreciate the twist to the original song.
Also included on this microcast is an interview given to Jimmy by Chinese actress
Bai Ling, where she shares her thoughts on the saga's movies. Bai Ling starred in the Episode III, Revenge of the Sith movie (playing the part of Senator Bana Breemu), with appearances also on but also on the first episode of the third season of the currently running
LOST TV-series show and also cast on
The Crow,
Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow movies and a cover-girl on the May 2005 edition of the
Playboy magazine.
To wrap this up, we can only thank Jimmy Mac, The Force.Net and Rebelscum.com for putting up such a great "radio" show, and also for kindly accept my suggestion to play one of several parody songs performed by one of the funniest STAR WARS geeks on the globe, "Weird" Al Yankovic.

Jimmy Mac regressa com o seu vol. 8 dos sempre interessantes Force-cast microcasts, A Galaxy Of Music. Este traz-nos um sabor muito especial, ao SWCC-PT e à comunidade STAR WARS em Portugal, em geral.
A primeira das canções neste programa é interpretada pelo
"Weird" Al Yankovic, numa paródia à bem conhecida canção
American Pie de 1971. "Weird" Al chamou-lhe "
The Saga Begins" e aqui incluímos as letras para que se possa devidamente apreciar a transformação da canção original.
Igualmente incluída neste microcast está uma entrevista dada ao Jimmy pela actriz Chinesa
Bai Ling do Episódio III, A Vingança dos Sith (no papel da Senadora Baana Bremu) tendo participado também no primeiro episódio da terceira temporada da actual série televisiva
LOST e nos filmes

Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow e também, como cover-girl na edição de Maio de 2005 da revista
Playboy.
Para concluir deste destaque, apenas nos resta agradecer ao Jimmy Mac, ao TheForce.Net e ao Rebelscum.com por mais um excelente programa de "rádio" e também por ter gentilmente seguido a minha sugestão de passar uma das várias paródias musicais interpretadas por um dos mais divertidos geeks STAR WARS do globo, "Weird" Al Yankovic.
May the Force be with you, always!

A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the Federation in-
To maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy...
Oh my my, this here Anakin guy
Maybe Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force, they say
Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy
We started singin'...
My my, this here Anakin guy
Maybe Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the Force?
They interviewed the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said, "Now listen here
Just stick it in your pointy ear
I still will teach this boy"
He was singin'...
My my, this here Anakin guy
Maybe Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We caught a ride back to Naboo
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gungans died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy
And I was singin'...
My my, this here Anakin guy
Maybe Vader some day later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We were singin'...
My my, this here Anakin guy
Maybe Vader some day later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
A revista Empire, bem conhecida de todos os cinéfilos, faz 18 anos. Em jeito de comemoração, disponibilizou no seu site uma galeria com todas as capas da Empire, convidando os estimados leitores a votar na sua capa favorita. Quanto a nós, nem era preciso perguntar... a capa do número 192 da Empire, de Maio de 2005, é um verdadeiro item de coleccionador.Infelizmente, e como a Empire é uma publicação britânica, no momento em que escrevo estas linhas há um certo agente secreto ao serviço de Sua Majestade que, por míseros quatro votos, impede o Lorde Negro do Sith de atingir o merecido primeiro lugar. Por isso... toca a votar!
