John Williams is like fucking Atlas carrying the whole Star Wars franchise through all the nonsense it's gone through over the years.

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
==========
Other universes to visit:
Separatist systems:
Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):
!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

IMPORTANT
Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
-
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
-
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
-
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
-
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
-
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
-
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
-
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

MODERATORS
Although Andor has some of the best music (and everything else) without Williams. Still, his music is amazing. Andor is able to improve on it because they know what they're doing and care, but Williams is able to make a nearly perfect soundtrack even for bad movies.
Yup
Except they did everything they could with editing to dilute, reframe, or completely misuse the maestro's music in the suckquels.
All of the leitmotifs are screwy, including changing Yoda's theme to the "lifting the X-wing from the water" theme and turning the main theme into "some stuff from the OT is on screen" maybe?
Delightful breakdown: https://youtu.be/L_8-dWSLDWI
We all agree that Duel of the Fates is at least top 3 in the franchise sound track, right?
Has to be.
Really liked the opening music in Jedi: fallen order.
Anyways, carry on.
Sugaan Essena is the song name. It's by one of my favorite bands, The Hu. You should listen to Wolf Totem and Yuve, Yuve, Yu. Those are both amazing songs by them.
Hmm.
Thanks for the drop, somehow I missed that it was by the Hu… and yeah, they’re a great band.
I was supposed to see them a couple years ago. They were opening for Iron Maiden but had equipment troubles just before the show and had to cancel last minute. I was pretty disappointed, but Iron Maiden still gave a kick-ass show which somewhat made up for it. I’d still really like to see them at some point.
Sequel fans:
I heard that even Disney wants to forget about them. There's a rumor they will make new movies retconning the JJ trilogy off the canon.
I heard Lucas is planning a comeback to make a Sequels: Special Edition that fixes everything. Boba Fett will be added into deleted scenes he was never in in the first place, there’ll be more X-Wings at Exegol, the musical number at Maz’s will be re-recorded with a new singer, and most importantly, Han will now shoot first and the rest of Ben’s story is moot.
I enjoyed the updated musical number added to Jabba's Palace in the Episode 6 special edition.

Rings bell Shame! Shame!
Bring back yub nub!
Lapti Nek or nothing.
you... you monster. they unyubbed our collective nubs. our nubs dude. our nubs.
For Star Trek the top panel would be Discussions about the theme to Enterprise and the bottom would be discussions about any other theme to a trek series.
This person treks. ☝️
(I fight for the underdog, btw.)
The music in Maul Shadow Lord was great as well.
The Destruction of Xizor's Palace is peak.
I also can’t stress enough how amazing this soundtrack was to us 90s geeks who thought the OT soundtrack was all we were ever going to get. It was the first fresh new SW music in a long time.
SotE was an underrated gem. Imperial Sewers was my favorite track for a long time.
It's one of the few titles that I feel deserves a remake.
The way they riffed on/tributes to/blatantly stole morricone's theme from 'the battle for Algiers' for the main theme of andor was a really great touch but does make star wars a western and the empire french
If Star Wars was released today, some AI would report the entire Star Wars score for copyright infringement.
Zut! Alors! ohhhhh-pahh
A truer meme was never posted.
It helps when the music is all done by one guy.
