Songs relating to events and characters in Star Wars.

Ever heard a song, and then thought, "Hey, that reminds of 'such and such event' involving 'such and such character' in Star Wars."?

I have. Here are some of mine

Pink Floyd - Hey You - Anakin/Darth Vader

Black Sabbath - Iron Man - Darth Vader

Pink Floyd - Wish you Were here - Obi-Wan's relationship with Anakin.

Bob Dylan - Mr. Tamborine Man - Old Ben Kenobi's feelings toward the fall of the Jedi, and his pleas to Luke to redeem the order.

The Wallflowers - One Headlight - Vader's possible regrets for his decision to follow the dark path, and his remorseful cries for Padme.

Jimi Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower - The Clone Wars.


I welcome and encourage you to post your own list/s.

"The Reason" by Hoobastank

I actually did this video. It was called anakin's rhapsody. Lucasfilm however just today made me take my videos off Youtube, so you cant see it there anymore.

 

If it was the Bohemian Rhapsody one it's a shame, I liked it.

Yes IMO most of Darren Hayes's album The Tension and the Spark

Song: Hero relates to Anakin


Outside confidence is king
I am all that you're projecting
Inside feel the rising tide
And the revolution's deafening

I was trying to hide my opposing side
Trying to reconcile my Jekyll and Hyde

Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Do yourself a favor
Save yourself
Don't pick me find someone else
(Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)

Sometimes you put all of your desires in an object of affection
But in time because you idolise there is only disappointment

I was flying so high in your perfect sky
But I needed to fall, cannot have it all

Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Do yourself a favor
Save yourself
Don't pick me find someone else
(Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)

Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
Do yourself a favor
Save yourself
Don't pick me find someone else
(Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)

Don't need to compromise
I don't need to occupy the floor
There's a danger in boxing in my sin
And all that I am..

It's too much pressure
I'll only let you down again
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)
It's too much pressure
I'll only let you down again
(Why'd you want to bother find yourself another)

Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)

It's too much pressure
I'll only let you down again
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)

Ladies and gentlemen listen up please
I don't want to be your hero
(No, I am not open parts of me are broken)

 

I love that video, it's one of my favs as well. The song fits perfectly with Vader's Reason to turn back. Here's a few more from youtube that are awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkbTaisrGwE (Padme's POV) "Completely" by Jennifer Day
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2FkRDZoRS4 (Anakin's POV) "Savin' Me" by Nickelback
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUBQZZ5Ph5I (Padme's POV) "Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jYTvYig-Cc (Fun) "Pretty Fly for a Jedi"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqagnVqmC8g (Funny) "The Saga Begins" by Weird AL video by Star Wars for Dummies and it is hilarious!!!

Other songs are "In The End" by Linkin Park (Anakin's life flashing before his eyes)
"Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley (Their costumes at the MTV Movies Awards rocked and the song fits Anakin's turn perfectly)
Anything by Evanscense.
"Hero" by Mariah Carey for the comparison between Anakin and Luke as heroes in their time.
"Hero" by Enrique Iglesias for Anakin's song to Padme
There is also a song called "I wanna be Luke Skywalker" by some small band but it's really sounds like Nine Inch Nails or Linkin Park.

 

Metallica -- Nothing Else Matters: Anakins sacrafices for Padme.

 

Nickelback - Hero: Luke Skywalker
