Darth Vader Doesn't Want to Build A Snowman

by Alanna Bennett

If you've been impatiently waiting for the endless flow of Frozen parody videos to end, I've got some bad news for you. If, though, you're either a Star Wars fan or someone who could just keep watching the music of Frozen be rehashed into infinity — bonus points if you're both — then this Star Wars/Frozen mashup is for you.

There's something both incredibly wrong and incredibly right about seeing the persona of Darth Vader meshed with the forlorn sister song "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?" But that's what the Internet's for, isn't it? The weird, vaguely out of place meshing together of two dissonant things?

And these things really aren't as dissonant as they seem. Sure, Elsa's way less (intentionally) murdery than Vader, and this version of the song pretty much consists of people trying to coax Vader out of his solitude to do some more killing. But they're both outcasts of sorts, I guess? Who got a little in over their head? OK, I might be stretching. TIE pilots begging for carnage doesn't have the same emotional resonance as a younger sister pleading for her older sister's love.

But that doesn't mean it's not great. Cause it is.
