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!
