I remember reading somewhere that there were several Disco versions of the Star Wars theme in the late 70s, but the only one the internet seems to acknowledge is the Meco version. Admittedly, that's the version that I seem to remember as well, but this video clip presents another that may or may not have been in wide release:

Do you know of any other Disco versions (from the Star Wars era, 1977-1983)? I'd be interested in tracking them down.


Other than Meco, I'm not aware of any other "disco" tributes to SW. If there is, I'd be mildly surprised. In any case, the Meco medley is the best one out there, IMO. Meco also did versions of the Imperial March, Princess Leia's Theme, etc., but they weren't as fun as the medley. I actually prefer the truncated single version of the medley, as opposed to the longer album version.

Besides, the "disco" era (not to be confused with the European definition) ended in '79 ("disco is dead!") so anything after that probably isn't disco anyway. ;-)
