Star Wars: The Last Jedi might have a new theme song when it hits theaters next year. Move over, John Williams, the Mountain Goats are ready for their turn.

Don’t worry, that’s only a joke.

As revealed on Rian Johnson‘s Twitter, the director was messing around with the folk band in a recording studio when they came up with this humorous song about the newest film.

While the director’s tweet did say that the song is “canon,” it’s fair to take that with a grain of salt. There’s nothing serious about the song, just Johnson and the Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle having a good time at the expense of the science fiction saga.

If the joke is not evident by the song’s lyrics, just know that the title is “The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All The Other Jedi And Eats Their Bones.”

Give it a listen, it’s actually pretty damn good and very much a Mountain Goats song.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi, from writer/director Rian Johnson, is in post-production now for a December 15, 2017 release. The film follows-up and continues the story of the next generation of the saga as Rey, Poe, Finn, and Kylo Ren find their place in the galaxy and follow the legacy of Luke Skywalker, Leia, and Han Solo. Daisy Ridley returns to star as Rey, with other returning stars John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Domhnall Gleeson, Gwendoline Christie, Peter Mayhew, Andy Serkis, Anthony Daniels, Lupita Nyong’o Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa. Benicio Del Toro and Laura Dern join the cast in as-yet-unrevealed roles.
