This is a great idea-- I didn't know these elements existed. I wish I could be the guy to do it, but it's just too big for me. I'll see if I can dig someone up.

This would be the perfect way to open a "rough-cut" fan edit --which is another great idea.


My thoughts exactly. Happy New Year, all!

This is a little known fact, but George Lucas bought an album called "The Sea Hawk", a recording of Korngold's film music by Charles Gerhardt, and it was this that inspired him to request the same type of score from J. Williams- he even mentioned "The Sea Hawk" in the conversation.

...

And finally, it's very possible that this was actually the main title theme used in the original TEMP TRACK for Star Wars- notice the similarity to the original Star Wars theme.


A snipet from Trooperman's SOTDS thread. This seems very relevant here.

The following storyboard has been posted on these forums before, however, I think it warrants being posted in this thread...

Where are the crawl-makers of the forum? Can't you just see "The Star Wars" appearing and the '76 crawl receding to the Sea Hawk music? This opening would work very well in all of the proposed reconstructed rough/lost cuts. I also still like to think that Jambe Davdar would attack the beginning of a "Star Wars" deconstruction doco with a piece like this.
