The radio station I usually listen to at work is advertising a concert coming up in Portland. It features a full orchestra playing only Star Wars music. Almost sounds like something I'd be interested in going to, but I wouldn't want my grandkids to know that a headbanger like me sometimes appreciates some good strings and horns.
Is it heresy to say that Star Wars wouldn't have been the big deal it was, were it not for that compelling music?
Not at all. If you can't look back at the hokey special FX without laffing, then the music is all you gots. Good story, but sheesh, the visuals woulda been so much better if there were time travel, if ya know whut I mean.
