Music Section Updated

Today I have updated the Music section with a new soundtrack! The latest addition that you can preview is the Christmas in the Stars which features 9 tracks! Recorded back in 1980, the album's story takes place in a droid factory where robots trudge away at building toys year round for S. Claus. However they don't understand the meaning of Christmas until C-3PO and R2-D2 show them how to appreciate the holiday spirit. Even Artoo adds to the season festivities by learning how to whistle the catchy Christmas ditty, "Sleigh Ride." Later we learn who gets what from their wish list: a scarf for Luke Skywalker, perfume for Princess Leia and earmuffs for Han Solo. Enjoy!
