15 Ways To Play Star Wars Music. From Tesla Coil To The Commodore Amiga.

From a Tesla Coil, to a uni-cycle, to the trusty Commodore Amiga.  Listen to Star Wars being played in the most unusual of ways.

We all love the Star Wars theme and it's accompanying soundtrack.  If like me you've listened to the soundtrack hundreds if not thousands of times you realise how much of a timeless classic the John Williams masterpiece really is.  You can also judge how popular a piece of music is by the amount of times it's been recreated using various musical instruments and other less conventional items.  Here's a selection of some of my favourites.

1 - Star Wars theme played on a Tesla Coil...yes really!  It sounds awesome too.

 2 - this talented musician doing an impressive job on the organ complete with Fox fanfare


3 - Lori Graves plays Star Wars on the Lowrey Organ.  Makes you feel you're on the pier again.


4 - Guy playing the Star Wars theme with bagpipe on unicycle.  Got to love the Internet

5 - Throne Room played on a pipe organ.


6 - The Force theme played on violin and piano.  Sometimes listening to a piece in its raw form is the most moving.


7 - Star Wars main theme on a banjo.  Yeehah!


8 - The Imperial March on a washing machine.  The dark side doesn't seem so dark any more, even washed at a low temperature.


9 - The Imperial March in the style of Beethoven as played by Richard Grayson.  oh yes, its all improvised too.  Impressive, most impressive.


10 - The main theme A Capella cover.


11 - Star Wars opening theme using Minecraft Noteblocks


12 - Imperial March performed on the Synthesia software program.


13 - The Imperial March played on not one floppy disk drive but eight.


14 - Imperial March 8 bit style.  Now this brings back memories.


15 - Return Of The Jedi Played on the Commodore Amiga

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene.  Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in  Raiders of the Lost Ark ?  It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark.  Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming.  I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com  and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th

BBC News have reported that Pinewood Studios are to expand to the USA.  This is great news for the famous studio that is rich in movie history. UK film studio Pinewood Shepperton has announced plans to build its first sound stages in the United States. The Pinewood Atlanta complex will be built on 288 acres of land south of Atlanta, Georgia, as a joint venture with a US investment company. Georgia has been among the US states drawing film-making away from Hollywood with tax incentives in recent years. The deal is the latest sign of expansion at Pinewood, the home of the James Bond franchise. Earlier this month it announced a joint venture with a Chinese media group, potentially giving it access to the fast-growing Chinese market. Read the full article here.
