We all love the soundtracks of the Star Wars movies, but what about all the Star Wars-inspired music? Whether a parody or directly inspired, here are 8 more songs that you should add to your playlist immediately!
8. A New Hope - Blink-182
Written as an ode to everyone’s favorite space princess, Blink-182 tucked this gem away on their second album, Dude Ranch, in 1997.

7. Tatooine - Jeremy Messersmith
Sometimes you need to bring it down and listen to a light and easy tune. Messersmith’s “Tatooine” (along with his ultra-talented paper craft skills) takes the listener on a calm journey to the twin suns of Tatooine.
6. Supernova - Chewbacca
First played in the background while Dante and Randall are discussing Star Wars in Clerks, Supernova’s bass-heavy jam was a commonly-heard tune throughout the Clerks series.
5. Star Wars Gangsta Rap- Bentframe
Back during a time when the internet was filled with LOLcats and homemade animation videos, Bentfram’s Gangsta Rap turned an entire group of kids into a bunch of nerdy rappers. If you didn’t try to reenact the video, did you even watch it?
4. R2D2- Caustic Window
Originally released in 1992, Caustic Window’s “R2D2” is a fun techno (it wasn’t called EDM yet) song to get you moving, whether it be at a party, the gym, or at home in your pajamas. Fun fact: CW used a Yamaha GX-1 synthesizer to create nearly every beat on the track.
3. SEAGULLS (Stop It Now) - Bad Lip Reading
This song creeps up on you in a way that you least expect. Then you find yourself randomly quoting “I hate Brenda!” and dancing across your house.
2. Star Wars IV- A New Hope The Musical- Lhugueny
After a brief stint where the video wasn’t on YouTube thanks to a cease and desist order from Fox/Disney, Lhugueny’s musical set to Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” is back up on the platform. Lhugueny manages to cram the entire of A New Hope in just over minutes.
1. Bushes of love - Bad Lip Reading
Another entry from Bad Lip Reading, this pop-jazz jam sounds like an early 90s song, but once you listen to the lyrics, you realize that it’s this crazy song about Ben Kenobi worrying about what’s waiting in the bushes (of love). Oh, and Luke gets a sweet rap solo.
Bonus Addition: Star Wars Lofi
While not exactly a lyrical song, LoFi “videos” that are roughly an hour long make for a perfect ambiance-setting vibe, and this particular channel themes the music around different Star Wars characters, so you get a different set every time.
