It's almost infuriating seeing the praise and attention showered upon that lady for... posting a video of herself wearing a Chewbacca mask and laughing. I subscribe to the theory that it was an inside-job. Having been artificially popularized by Disney to sell more of their shitty Chewbacca masks.

Will 2,215 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Question: In the Star Wars galaxy, by the Battle of Endor, people (meaning the general public in the fictional Star Wars galaxy) know that Luke and Leia are brother and sister, right? But who do they think the parents are? Do they know Vader is the father (perhaps because Luke is a Skywalker just like Anakin?) (Star Wars Bloodline novel spoilers below.) Spoiler Apparently people don't know until about 6 years before TFA that Leia's father is Vader. So I guess that's when they find out Vader is Luke's father too? So the public would have just thought it was a coincidence that Anakin and Luke were both named Skywalker? (again, I'm not referring to people in the real world, I'm talking about the fictional people in Star Wars and what they would have known about Luke and Leia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,650 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Yeah, I don't think official canon has elaborated on when or if the galaxy knew Luke and Leia were siblings, but since Luke and Leia only learned in the second half of ROTJ, I'd imagine it took quite some time for the information to disseminate - if it did at all.

Popular Post Pieter Boelen 740 Posted June 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2016 Disney is being surprisingly loyal to John Williams' Star Wars themes in several quite surprising ways. A pop-ified version of Rey's Theme opening "The Star Wars Show"? Or the Force Theme, part of TFA and Anakin's Theme appearing in the LEGO Freemaker Adventures? Even Kylo Ren's Theme in the short "Poe to the Rescue": Weird, in a way. But also pretty cool that not-yet-famous themes from TFA and fairly unknown themes from the prequels are being used like that.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 There was a LOT of John Williams in the most recent "LEGO Star Wars: Freemaker Adventures" again. Most notable is a scene where Leia went "badass", accompanied by an amped up version of Leia's Theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,650 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Freemaker Adventures is an animated LEGO Star Wars series on Disney XD in the offseason between Rebels S2 and Rebels S3. It's set between Empire and Jedi, with a cast of new main characters but a lot of crossover with movie characters. It's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a TV show with by now 6 20-minute episodes, with more coming. It features original music, but does make use of Williams' themes, even some of the less popular ones. So far, I've heard the Imperial March, Anakin's Theme, Leia's Theme, Luke's Theme, Here They Come! and some section from The Force Awakens that I don't specifically remember.

Weird, in a way. But also pretty cool that not-yet-famous themes from TFA and fairly unknown themes from the prequels are being used like that. Talking of this, Star Wars Celebration used "March of the Resistance" to introduce the Rogue One cast for their panel: Works pretty well as a processional! It is funny how these little things somehow make the themes feel more "official" in a way. Like they're now at the point where they're just casually part of the franchise and can be thrown into various Star Wars things in order to make them feel like Star Wars. By the way, don't watch the full video if you're spoiler-averse. One of the cast members accidentally lets slip a character's fate in the middle of the panel.

The music of the prequels doesn't get much spotlight so anything at all will be nice! I'm familiar with many of the contributors so I'm looking forward to seeing the whole thing once it is out.
