Video: A Simple Star Wars Tale

And now for something completely different.  This paper animation Star Wars video from Eric Power uses Jeremy Messersmith's mellow tune Tatooine as the background music.  It all comes together well and does a nice job summarizing the original trilogy.  I am not sure the next three movies in the series would work so well - the story may be too complex with endless moving parts.

Below are the lyrics to the song (you should already know the movies) as well as information on the artist:

Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know
Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know
 

There's room up there for second chances
Singles are fine but doubles are fantastic
I'd like to think that there's a star for me and you
Spinning round, falling for one another
 

Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know
Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know
 

Solos are fine but duets are romantic
A pair is grand but a trio'd be disastrous
I'd like to think that there's a star for me and you
Spinning round, falling for one another
