The Top 10 Star War Songs

While I am enough of a Star wars fan to own all six movies and have been known (pre-rock nyc days of course, I couldn’t do this now) to curl up in bed for a weekend and watched em in chronological order by their timeline not release date, I still think they never improved “The Empire Strikes BacK” and still don’t own any of the albums and why would I. After John Williams iconic theme and also Williams “Cantina Band” -both from “A New Beginning”, and the most popular of all,  “The Imperial March” from “Empire, this is a specialist genre and a specialist list.

I was a little too old for “A New Beginning” to be a Beatlemania like force be with me like moment of teenage voltage dream future stuff, I reacted to star wars with pleasure, sure, but not with much more. If memory serves, Peter Bogdanovitch’s “The Last Picture show” -which taught me all i’ve ever needed to know about country as Hank williams hits crackle and beep on car radios in a dusty Texas town where even the only movie house can’t sustain a future.

With that in mind, this list of the top 10 most streamed Star Wars songs might make sense to uber-fans where it doesn’t make much sense to yours truly. Too much of it is like a background sound in search of a screen and that is with all due respect to williams work. But the truth is even for star wars it isal the equivalent of underlining a sentence for emphasize.
