I was listening to the Jedi soundtrack the other day, and I thought, “wouldn’t it be kind of quirky if we heard the soundtrack version of Lapti Nek playing in a bar or on the radio in a future Star Wars movie?” Like a polished, studio cover of the cult Max Rebo Band hit.
Not a movie, but they did that in Battlefront II way back whenever that was. It played somewhere in Mos Eisley. There’s nothing as great in that game as slaughtering your enemies left and right to the sound of Lapti Nek.
That’s definitely on my list of easter eggs and things to include if I’m ever in charge of a Star Wars movie.
Also on the list:
- Jaxxon
- Fake-out starfield at the opening (starfield not actually being a starfield, but something like this, as I almost thought might happen in TFA upon watching the trailer:
)
One of my prequel scripts had the opening shot pan down from a ‘vast sea of lights’ onto a dark underground lake, with the bioluminescent algae from above reflected in its waters.
