Kinect Star Wars dance party

Kinect Star Wars has a Galactic Dance Off mode where you can “dance to modern songs remixed with Star Wars lyrics”. After watching 30 seconds of this, you may not be able to get “I’m Han Solo” out of your head. It features dance moves like “The Speeder”, “Chewie Hug”, and “Trash Compactor”.

Kind of amazing, but not surprising, that the Star Wars universe has come to this. As one YouTube commenter noted:

I just felt the death of Star Wars. It was as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

Here are some of the lyrics:

I’m feeling like a star,
you can’t stop my shine
I’m loving Cloud City,
my head’s in the sky

I’m solo, I’m Han Solo,
I’m Han Solo.
I’m Han Solo. Solo.

Yeah, I’m feeling good tonight,
Finally feeling free and it feels so right, oh.
Time to do the things I like,
Gonna see a Princess, everything’s all right, oh.

No Jabba to answer to,
Ain’t a fixture in the palace zoo, no.
And since that carbonite’s off me
I’m livin’ life now that I’m free, yeah.

Told me to get myself together
Now I got myself together, yeah.
Now I made it through the weather,
Better days are gonna get better.

I’m so happy the carbonite is gone.
I’m movin’ on.
I’m so happy that it’s over now.
The pain is gone.

I’m putting on my shades
to cover up my eyes
I’m jumpin’ in my ride,
I’m heading out tonight

I’m solo, I’m Han Solo,
I’m Han Solo.
I’m Han Solo. Solo.

I’m picking up my blaster,
put it on my side.
I’m jumpin’ in my Falcon
Wookie at my side.

I’m solo, I’m Han Solo,
I’m Han Solo.
I’m Han Solo. Solo.

It’s at this point that Lando comes on and gets jiggy. Amazing. (via ★ironicsans)
