Idea: Alternate Star Wars Soundtracks.

Is it OK to post pure hypothetical projects in this area?

Say what you will about TRON: Legacy as a story, but the soundtrack was masterful. Daft Punk proved more versatile as artists than we could have guessed. They went from mixing techno dance songs to scoring cinema, and do a great job with both.

I’ve always been interested in viewing Star Wars with an alternate soundtrack, non-Williams. Williams is legendary, obviously, but it would be an exercise in seeing music impact a film. And it would freshen things up, at the very least as a gimmick.

Thought I’d put this out there on the off chance there’s anyone bold, talented, and crazy enough to consider it.

Personally I've also been interested in a project like this. I've imagined a soundtrack done by a different composer (like Leonard Rosenman or Jerry Goldsmith), but never thought of this route.

I'd love to hear what DP would do :)

I suppose that might bridge the gap between Star Wars and Battle Beyond the Stars.

Interesting indeed, but kind of rips the heart out of Star Wars...which was sooo much more science "fantasy", it truely needs that element to complete the illusion.

Should this not be in Fan Edits?

I don't even know what this means exactly, but you would still have your normal Star Wars when this was finished.
