Hello There!

Hello there, I’m Obi-Wan Kenobi, although old Ben’s, how they’ve come to know me\nUpon this sandy barren planet, that’s become my home, see\nLonely I wander dusty roads, adorned in scruffy robes\nAn undercover Jedi veteran that has seen loads\nBattled with tons of clones, among them Cody, drunk with Yoda\nAnd now look out for Luke, his aunt Beru and uncle Owen\nFrom my base among the Jungland Wastes I’m on the case, just dunes\nAnd Tusken Raiders, fussy neighbours, but there’s lots of space to move\nThough aside from awaiting Luke, there ain’t much in this place to do\nIt’s as exciting as supervising, convoluted trade disputes\nIt takes some patience to negotiate with federations who\nBlockade the routes 'til Nute Gunray betrays you, then invades Naboo\nWon’t get anything done in Mos Eisley if you ask nicely\nThe markets are hardly a posh high street, so it’s not likely\nI know the rough side streets, and mind tricks you have to do\nSometimes it’s not just the Sith that deal in absolutes\nAnd that’s the truth, the past comes back in loops\nTo hit you hard and faster than a blaster shoots, what’s after Luke?\nQui-Gon Jinn and I discovered Anakin upon the planet Tatooine, now it happens\nThat’s the habitat, I’m shacked up in, is that a grander plan? It has to been\nIt’s not just luck, how crossed our paths have been, we’re subject to higher\norder\nA fact that makes itself apparent, whenever I link up with Skywalkers\nYou can not imagine how fire the Force is by its very nature\nIt’s hella dangerous, nevertheless its vibrations, serenade us\nIt’s alive, Midichlorians all surround and bind and penetrate us\nRight from backwoods planets straight to grand, galactic senate chambers\nPart dermal regenerator, part thermal detonator\nDark versus Light, can’t blur the line that separates us\nFor the son it’s rather hard to learn how far the father fell\nBut once it’s done, it’s the first step inside a larger world\nI sense the signs at once, a chill as the Emperor’s eyes are hunting, feeling me\nLeft to hide among the Krill, in this wretched hive of scum and villainy\nEndless lives have suffered indignity under this unforgiving tyranny\nBut ever defiant the Rebel Alliance is stemming the tide of toxicity\nEnding the terror the tyrants send every time, undermining their mindless\nhostility\nFinding the minorest fault in their finest facilities, then wiping out their\nentire military\nWherever I might be found, I keep to the higher ground, even in the deepest\ncavern\nLeaping chasms, there’d be good reasons if you see me leaving seedy taverns\nBelieve me, your beliefs might need to be reexamined, don’t even fear dragons\nStrike me down, and I’ll become more powerful than you can possibly imagine\nLoved Anakin like a son, and I would have done anything\nUnder the twin suns to prevent something as bad as that happening again\nYoung Padawans are suggestible, are susceptible to the Dark Side\nSo accept the forces of darkness are a predator from which you can’t hide\nI’ll be losing Maul, soonish surely you saw me demolish him\nBut who’s the more foolish, y’all the fool or the fool who follows him?\nLook forward to when I’ve fought Vader, once more felt the full Force\nOf the whole blade of his old sabre, 'til then I walk with the Raiders
