But the horrible music scene that I was talking about is the one in Jabba’s Palace. I mean some say that it’s the special edition version that’s horrible but I went back to the original and they’re both very cringe-worthy…
The SE Jedi Rocks is a hideously misjudged 90s CGI travesty. It’s part of the reason I think the younger generations get the impression that ROTJ is close to the Prequels. The original “seedy” ‘Lapti Nek’ music is great IMO.
I mean, this is just my opinion but I’m a musician and one of the reasons I love Star Wars more than anything is because it’s set in a different Galaxy and not having anything ‘Earth-like’… the music sounds like it’s taken straight out of a NYC lounge of the time… in ANH, John Williams did such a great job with the Cantina band song, it was influenced by many earth folk styles but blended together in such a way that it sounds ‘alien’.
This 1928 Benny Goodman piece sounds pretty “Alien” too…
