Noddy Holder is nothing to do with Star Wars; he is in fact the leader of a crap British rock'n'roll band-SLADE-(even worse than Status Quo, although more street-cred with the help of hindsight) who had a few hits in the 70s. Surely you must know that all star Wars characters had names like Han Solo or Boba Fett? Although the "Noddy Holder" track is not bad: the track itself is a bit flat, but the beginning, "begin intermittent funk transmission", is vocoder at its best. Rob.
