I thought so as soon as I saw it Back In The Day. Haven’t changed my mind yet.

So glad this has finally got a proper HD release in the UK:

You can expect anything you want. I expect my car to work normally on my drive home tonight. I expect my wife and I will have a pleasant evening meal. Based on the current weather forecast, I expect that the weather will be decent tomorrow. What one gets is a different matter entirely.

True, even though the Titanic score is little more than a rip-off of A13 with a few Irish folk instruments thrown in.

Shall we just change the thread title to ‘What does it mean to say that “a” film is “over 3 hours” long?’

He’s more machine, now, than man. Twisted and evil.

Me, as a four (maybe 5) year old. My first trip to the cinema. Remember very little about it now, of course, except that I loved it. And why wouldn’t I?

Not only is that entirely true, but, in my experience, the better the musicians the lower the humour. Some of the jokes I’ve heard from professional musicians would be unacceptable even on a platform as liberal as JWFan.

Possibly, of course, but note that Alderaan is misspelled in exactly the same way in enderdrag’s table, above.

Nooo! Don’t say that publicly!

TCF fanfare is absolutely part of Star Wars to my ears. The only deviation I will allow from this is that the 1953 recording used for ANH sounds so shonky by comparison with the Main Title. But, it’s quite possible that jolt in quality was semi-intentional. By the time we’re at ESB, the new LSO re-recording is quite glorious.

I think this is the nearest we ever get to the middle section of the published folio of ‘May The Force Be With You’: Though it’s only really a brief resemblance at best. Does anyone know if the folio middle section derives from JW, or whether it was an addition of the arranger? I’ve always thought the scale is wrong for it to be anything galactic. It looks much more like a protostar/developing star and planetary disc to me.

Google knows a load more about this stuff than I do!

English people, Welsh people or Northern Irish people. To say nothing of those from the Isle of Man and other smaller places. It can be complicated, being British.

They tend to think of themselves as Scottish first and British second, much as Brits of other flavours (like me) do the equivalent. It’s when they ignorantly get called English that the sparks - quite reasonably - can fly. Your best stop for all things Tartan-related is the wonderful Kinloch Anderson. They make the Royal Family’s kilts, y’know.
