The Star Wars thread

One Thing I Love Today: Rick Rubin, EDM, and 'Star Wars' makes a crazy 'Headspace'

I don't own much in the way of EDM. It's just not my scene. I'm sure you look at me and think, "That's a guy who likes to really lay it down on the dance floor as just one small part of his aggressively physical lifestyle," but somehow, EDM just isn't on my radar. I buy new music often, but really wouldn't play this sort of thing typically while working or driving.

So, yes, Hollywood Records and American Recordings, your fiendish plan worked. I picked up a new EDM compilation album executive produced by Rick Rubin entirely because of the thing that unites all of the tracks: Star Wars. All of the producers and performers on the album were given access to a huge library of sounds and dialogue from the Star Wars films, and the only real restriction placed on them was to avoid leaning on the John Williams scores to the film. This isn't like Mecca's old disco version of the Star Wars themes; this is a collection of genuine EDM that just happens to be built out hundreds of Star Wars sound effects.

Sounds goofy, right? And it sort of is, but that's the charm. It's a pretty silly idea, clearly designed to cash in on the current mania for all things related to the movie and the larger series. It's currently only available for digital download, with a retail version arriving in stores on March 18.

As a Disney title this doesn't need to be low-priced to move millions of units. The store exclusives are Steelbook at Best Buy, BB-8 cover @ WM, and tiny art cards at Target... with different bonus materials on each, I'm sure. And I'm sure the 3D will be on sale later this year for another wallet grab.

Disney doesn't do 3-D home movies. This might be an exception, but I bet they don't.

Having said that, I'm hoping the documentaries are 100 hours long because I love that ****.

Great price, but I would hold off. I would imagine different stores are going to have different incentives(steelbook, etc) to get your scheckels. Plus, I would imagine the price is going to be low-ish anyway to move em out the door.

‘Star Wars’ Han Solo Spin-Off Movie to Also Tell Chewbacca’s Origin Story
http://collider.com/star-wars-han-solo-movie-chewbacca-origin-story/

As it should...gotta have a bromance. They have to be soooooooooooo delicate with this. It's a potential franchise unto itself. The adventures of young Han & Chewie...come on man. The possibilities are endless just on the backstory from the original movie alone. If they get Dave Franco...it's ruined already.

I think he was one of the mass that were being considered. I just think the character is just too imprinted on us for them to go with anyone we know going in. Find someone new. Someone who comes in with no baggage. But wait, where is the guaranteed box office in that?

Exactly. They need superstars to fill that role like Daisy Ridley or John Boyega or Oscar Isaac! :D
