The Adventures of Jar Jar

I've always enjoyed JW's playful Star Wars themes for Jawas, Ewoks and Gungans. In fact, as time goes by , I feel that the combination of high drama and silliness in the Star Wars films is a creative strength of the serial (when will we stop using the cold and heartless term 'franchise'?). When I was younger I used to think it all had to be superserious in order to be 'meaningful'. I'm not so sure anymore. The Star Wars films have confidence in the counterpoints of dramatic tone and so keep an enduring storytelling tradition alive and well.

It is indeed a franchise but don't you think it's a bit of a cold-sounding word that emphasises the film business side of things rather than the storytelling side ? :)

Thank god Williams has much more profound abilities than to produce old-fashioned ewok music. I love Prokoviev, but somehow Williams approximation of this style for George Lucas' creations doesn't sit too well with the cool side of me.
