about

"Rebel Scum" was ultimately collected on my journey through various Rebel bases and speaking with various soldiers and pilots.

I initially picked it up from the Alliance 61st Mobile Infantry on the Thunderstrike while en route to Sullest. It was there that I first heard about Ferrix and Jedha and decided to rework it to include the first uprisings.

And then the Death Star was destroyed which made for a great final line.

Stay Free.
Stay Rebellious.
Restore the Republic.
Folk the Empire!

lyrics

Rebel Scum
(Wedge’s Echo)

Fire those X-Wing up, boys
Shoot dem TIE dogs down
The only time that I can smile
Is when the Empire ain’t around

Fightin’ for our worlds boys
Keep those blasters primed
The only Imp that I can stand
Is one that aint’ alive

From Rix Road to Coruscant, boys
Kessell to Naboo
Th’ Empire’s got the numbers
But we hit what we shoot

Remember Alderaann, boys
Keep Jedha in your heart
Bombad imps can’t stop us
Cause their Death Star done blow’d up
