Yes, we know that parodies of "Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye have gotten a little played out. But we'll make an exception when we see a really good adaptation that tackles the truly important issues, like the fact that George Lucas has messed around with the "Star Wars" movies just enough.
Criticizing changes to the old movies such as Greedo shooting first and an excess of unnecessary CGI, to the retrofitted changes the prequels introduced ("midi-cholrians," anyone?), the song takes gives a comprehensive synopsis of why George Lucas can suck it.
The video features Tyson Apostal as "Darth Gotye," Mike Loveland as George Lucas and vocals by Isreal Curtis and Ryan Richardson. The parody lyrics were written by Eddie King, Jeremy Warner and Joseph Winter. You can subscribe to their updates here, if you're into that sort of thing.

Just when "Somebody That I Used To Know" was starting to fade into Top 40 history, a few clever "Star Wars" fanatics made a parody video that we just can't ignore. After all, it asks the all too common question, "What happened to the Star Wars that I used to know?"
"Here's our spoof of Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used to Know', done 'Star Wars' style, of course," explained the Teddie Films team on YouTube. "It's a story of heartbreak to which Star Wars fans everywhere can relate. And even with all that heartache, it's still a better love story than 'Twilight.'"
"Survivor" star Tyson Apostol plays the pivotal role of Darth Gotye, while Mike Loveland pops in as George Lucas, taking over Kimbra's verse on the track.
Here's a sample of Darth Gotye's verse:
But you didn't have to change it all. Make 'em like they never...

"Musical: The Online Musical" is far from your average musical. First, it's online-only—no creaky stage, no audience, no playbills to print up. Second, it's written week to week in ten-minute slivers by three university students, who film the show on weekends (in between mid-terms). Third, the plot is almost completely driven by audience suggestions. What? The creators claim that "Musical" is the "first-ever interactive musical." And they're not kidding: Viewers can (and do) recommend everything from the relationship between characters ("Make a Henry-Heather-Danny-Gwenny love quadrangle. Henry thinks he's in love with Heather who falls in love with Danny who thinks he's in love with Gwenny who's in love with Henry") to the musical elements ("How about the homeless people as a Greek chorus?") to the qualities of a really good villain ("weird red and black floral, never wears pants, acts well, semi-baldness"). The story revolves around Henry (played by...
