Tie-Fighters in the Sky is a filk by Leah Rosenthal.
Lyrics
- An old Jedi went wanderin' out one dark and windy day,
- Upon a dune he rested as he went along his way.
- When all at once a mighty fleet of little ships he saw,
- A-flying through the desert skies...up Begger's Canyon floor.
- (Chorus) Yippee Tie Yay, Yippie Tie Yoh, Tie-Fighters in the sky.
- Their wings were still on fire and their hulls were made of steel.
- Their shields were bright and shiny and their hot jets he could feel.
- A bolt of red cut through them as they thundered through the sky,
- For he saw the rebels comin' hard...in X-wings screamin' by.
- The rebels flew on by him and he heard one call his name--
- "If you want to save us all from hell in Palpatine's cruel reign--
- Then Obi-Wan Kenobi change your address and your course,
- 'Cause there's nothing else can help us now...but Han, the Kid, and Force."
