Popular Post TownerFan 5,169 Posted February 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's always great to hear stories from people who performed on those iconic scores.

aviazn 273 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Wow, that's a great find. It's hard to tell how accurate the minute details of his recollections are—all the movies seem to blur together and he keeps saying Star Wars was in 1975—but at 33:30, he says that The Asteroid Field was an overnight rewrite (!) of a cue Lucas and co. vetoed the day before. I'm taking that with a big grain of salt, but is there any known kernel of truth to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doo_liss 6,423 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Maybe he is thinking of Sail Barge Assault? (Or more unlikely Binary Sunset.) aviazn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Can't wait to watch these when I get home. Love hearing this type of stuff from the people who performed the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
