Star Wars is turning 40 on Thursday (May 25th).

Yesterday I listened to all the original LPs. (Yes, I played Lapti Nek.)

So today I'm working my way through all of the Charles Gerhardt albums. (Ahhh, the film ending from Star Wars. AND the Throne Room concert ending! THAT'S how you do that!)

Tomorrow will be miscellaneous Star Wars. Meco will feature heavily. I'll include Rogue One. The Prequel music that I like. Victory Celebration. What the hell, maybe Jedi Rocks.

On THE DAY I'll play all the original scores, chronological and complete(ish). (It's the anti-Thor day!) I doubt I'll make it all the way through, but it could happen.

Happy Star Wars week!

I don't know if you're asking those of us who like 'Star Wars' what WE'RE going to do on the REAL "Star Wars Day" --- none of this May 4th crap, thank you very much wink --- but if you are, musicwise, I'll probably listen to the score as well.

I'll definitely watch the original (1977).... smile

Yes, yes that's what I was asking. smile

I've got a closing shift Thursday and weird hours throughout the week so I had a couple of friends over tonight. We watched the theatrical cuts of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. I've been playing the hell out of the scores to the first three for over a week.

Mark is such a nerd. Always has been. Bless him!

Started off this morning with... Well, a Doctor Who podcast. But AFTER that, I'm in Rogue One at the moment. It's a score that has grown on me like a fungus.

I thought this was quite good. The vocal sounds very Moricone!

Finished up Rogue One (complete with movie end titles).

I'm about to go see Guardians of the Galaxy 2. So on the way home it seems appropriate I listen to Meco!

Happy Star Wars Day!

Listening to: Star Wars! I'm up to the trash compactor. What a great cue, different from everything else in the score.

All of May has been Star Wars month for me, watching all the films (with my first back-to-back of Rogue One and New Hope yesterday), with Empire, Jedi and Awakens left to go.

Heh. In my personal crusade against "May the Fourth" being "Star Wars day" I made this whole week into Star Wars week. But a month sounds like an even better idea. OTOH, I don't have 31 Star Wars shirts. (It turns out I have five.)

I'm taking a little bit of a Star Wars break today (as much as I ever do). But this weekend we will sit down as a family and at least watch Star Wars. And probably a few episodes of Rebels.

I'm not usually big on causes, etc., but THAT'S a petition I'd sign!! smile
