That's the magic of the volume. The L.A. based productions (Mando, Boba, Ahsoka, Skeleton) utilize the volume and try to keep everything on campus. The U.K. based productions go on location and build massive sets. Both have certain pros and cons, but the L.A. approach gets a whole lot more bang for the buck (those shows were cheaper and yet grander in scope)
Why you don't like Major Tom from the 80s?
Yeah I hope we see Hondo in this series too
I'm as big of an 80s synth fan as there is. Hence my user name. But as much as I like major tom, I don't think it really works for star wars. It totally works for what they are emulating here. They are really pushing the Amblin/goonies/stranger things 80s vibe. I'm not sure why? I would think they would push, I don't know, a star wars vibe? It might very well end up being total star wars. It's just kind of curious in my opinion.
Hey, it has never really left. If you need some recommendations, I've got tons of them. There's a lot of bands that never left, erasure, pet shop boys, omd, alphaville... To more modern stuff like intuition, eloquent, neuropa... It might not be main stream anymore, but it's still there.
Feels pretty "Star Wars" to me while still leaning into other vibes. I don't need Star Wars to be a one-note franchise. I like they've been willing to take risks and branch off into other genres that evoke different vibes.
I'm talking about a main stream revival. We had a revival of many genres over the last 20 years in main stream, but 80s synth pop just hasn't broken through. And I'd like for that to change.
I hope it is all Michael Giacchino and there isn't any 80s synth music in it. I'd totally buy the album if it is just Giacchino. That would be like putting modern pop hits in Willow. Oh wait...
At it's core, it should feel star wars. And as I said, it might be. You can hit different notes and still keep it star wars. Using a very recognizable 80s song makes it to real world in my opinion. Mando gave us a very different style of music, and it worked. If they used the good the bad and the ugly theme every time mando came on screen, not great.
How did you feel about Lapti Nek?
I grew up with Lapti Nek and prefer it to Jedi Rocks. They both have the proper Star Wars feel to them just like the singer in Solo does or the music in Canto Bight. Like the Cantina band, they have that jazz-blues thing in it.
