about

Based on the tragic (and constantly revised) death of Greedo from Star Wars. When the Original Trilogy was added to Disney+ in 2019, the biggest change was a new line of dialogue for Greedo. Not fixing the sound of Luke deactivating his lightsaber while it's clearly still on at the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, not removing the abomination of "Jedi Rocks" and restoring the glory of "Lapti Nek" to Return of the Jedi... we got "Maclunkey!" While there is no subtitle translating this word, the internet says it means "This'll be the end of you."

lyrics

The sun is shining on a womprat’s tail today
I was worried for a moment, but no more
You see I managed to track my prey
With my backup bleeding on the barroom floor

Oota goota, Solo?
It’s the end of the line (end of the line)
Chas kin yanee ke chusoo
It’s the end of the line (end of the line)

I’ve been looking forward this moment for so long
I thought the day might never come
But now I’ve got you exactly where I want you
Without your Wookiee, staring down the barrel of my gun

Oota goota, Solo?
It’s the end of the line (end of the line)
Chas kin yanee ke chusoo
It’s the end of the line (end of the line)

Give me the money and I might forget I found you
Save your excuses for the Hutt
You should have paid him back when you had the chance to
‘Cause Jabba never fails to get his cut

Over your dead body? Okay, if you insist
That’s one thing on which the two of us agree
Now that I can cross your name off of my list
I’ve just one thing to say: MACLUNKEY

Oota goota, Solo?
It’s the end of the line (end of the line)
Chas kin yanee ke chusoo
It’s the end of the line (end of the line)
