Kanye references Star Wars three times in the song. There’s the obvious Obi-Wan/Anakin line (which originally sampled the "I have the high ground" quote from episode III), but I think people missed the other references.

The lyrics on Genius state “All the maneuvers, feeling closed in” but if you listen close, it really sounds like he’s actually saying “Holdo maneuvers” which, as Last Jedi watchers will remember, a Holdo maneuver was a last resort option to give the Resistance a fighting chance when they were out of options as the First Order closed in on them. Makes much more sense in the context of the line.

He later makes a mention of how he doesn’t need to “strike back” because God fights his battles

We also know how much he loves Disney

UPDATE: Genius accepted my annotation on the official lyrics:

Good thread

High key anyone who complained about the lyrics wasn’t listening

This song is a treat

wym squilliam

if he and star wars were collabing they probably wouldve cleared the sample no?

Ok yes but there is no way kanye dropped a bar about the holdo maneuver

F*** you op the holdo maneuver is the dumbest s*** in star wars EVER f***ing idiot f*** i hope Kanye is smart enough not to rap about that stupid ass s*** should be retconned and never spoke of again

the ppl complaining about savage mode 2 chopnotslop in ur thread are weirdos

Thats facts too Slim K did that s*** perfectly I just got done listening to it

lol nerds

Surely a reach

this will save the franchise, kanye is exactly what star wars is missing

Didn’t say I liked it, but it was definitely a notable part of the movie. Last Jedi should be almost entirely retconned tbh

I don’t understand how people s*** on the last Jedi when f***ing rise of skywalker exists

I like the lyrics in this song

This is hilarious as a reach but would be fire if it was for real

All of the Canto Byte s*** shouldve been removed from the movie. Worst plotline in all of Star Wars. Without that the movie would’ve been pretty solid. Killing Snoke was stupid though. Should’ve had a better established villain for the entire trilogy

Update: It's Genius certified dudes
