In Tatooine did Jabba Hutta

A stately pleasure-dome decree

Where Luke, the sacred Jedi ran

Down caverns measureless to man

To Rancor on Level “B”

So twice five miles of barren ground

With walls and towers were girdled round

And there’s a Sarlacc with backward spines

Where digested many a bounty hunter

And here was Yoda ancient as the hills,

Enfolding koans retrograde.

Max Rebo with a Red Ball Jett

In Jabba’s once I saw

He was an Ortolan dude

And on his Red Ball Jett he played

Singing of Mos Eisley

Could I revive within me

His Jizz-wailer song

To such deep delight ‘twould win me.

That with music very loud and long

I would build that dome in air

That sunny dome! That carbonite!

And all who were caught should see them there

And all should cry, Beware! Beware!

His dilating eyes! His missing hair!

Weave a circle round him thrice

And watch your back with Master Luke

For he on Meiloorun Fruit hath fed

And drunk blue milk of Paradise

If some person from Porlock knocks at your door, ignore him.

If it’s an Orlock from Porlock, hit him with the sunlamp.

Does this now segue into _Rime of the Ancient Jedi Frog_?

(Honestly, the dialog in _Rime of the Ancient Mariner_ sounds like Yoda already.)

"The ship was cheered, as Kashyyyk neared,

Merrily did we drop

Below the trees, below Wookiees,

Below the treehouse top."

Who’s Coleridge?  
I though it was Peart.
