I queued up a Weird Al song on Spotify, and afterwards it played another Weird Al song, then a Neil Cicierega song.

If I was Neil I'd consider that a great honor.

I imagine when Weird Al retires, he's gonna have an official ceremony where he hands over a mystic sword to Neil Cicierega.

You'd think it'd be an accordion, but no, weird al just likes giving people swords.
Also THAT'S NOT HELPING, SWYPE
Fun fact about weird al and swords: he is one of only two people who has a working lightsaber.

He was given it by George Lucas after he wrote his Episode 1 song... Prior to seeing the movie.
(that's true, in fact. The part about writing it before seeing the movie, I mean)
Seriously. He had to write The Saga Begins prior to the release of Star Wars Episode 1, and he pulled it off brilliantly.

https://t.co/9dd9kh7aFr
Apparently he just collected all the leaks and previews and interviews he could, and pieced together the story from that.

He did get a chance to see an early screening to confirm he'd been correct, so he wasn't at risk of being made a fool by having inaccurate info...
But it's still amazing that he pulled it off.
Anyway you'd think the other person with a lightsaber would be George Lucas, Mark Hamill, maybe even David Prowse or James Earl Jones? (Alec Guinness turned it down)

Nope! None of them.
It's Greg Proops, for his expert acting in episode 1.
They decided it wouldn't be safe to give Ewan McGregor one, and when they offered one to Liam Neeson, he said "no thanks, I've already got one."
And who would need two lightsabers, anyway?

Meanwhile both Ray Park and Peter Serafinowicz were crying in the corner
Darth Maul continues the Star Wars tradition of Darths having two actors, one who does the physical acting, and a second one who provides the voice.
In those way the mantle of Darth Vader of David Prowse & James Earl Jones is passed along. In this essay I will -
That's fundamentally the problem with the sequel series. Different goals from different directors? Plotting by least-expected? Setting up characters and doing nothing with them? Remaking the originals?

Nope! None of those are the problem.
The problem is that they had sith who had the same body actor and voice actor.

That's all.
Let Adam Driver play physical Kylo, but put on the helmet, call him Darth Ren, and let Kevin Conroy do his voice. (he's used to working with Mark Hamill, anyway)

Bam! Sequel trilogy fixed.
Anyway, Hayden Christensen is getting a lightsaber soon. That was the condition he had on returning for Star Wars: Kenobi.

Ewan McGregor still can't have one.
When Ray Park was working on X-men, Ian McKellen teased him by claiming to have a lightsaber, despite never appearing in Star Wars.

He said he got it from Patrick Stewart, which doesn't even begin to make sense.
Also I swear I made this as just a shitpost, but @emulateiam pointed out this tweet:
