Even if they put music up front, nobody will be able to hear it, as the audience will be going nuts anyway. :)

There is that certain something about the way the existing six movies start. You hear the percussion of the Fox fanfare several seconds before you see anything at all. It's a signal to the audience that "the movie is about to start." It's deliciously old-fashioned.

Part of me still hopes it happens....

 Me too. Star Wars was one of the first, if not the first, movies that I watched with the Fox Fanfare, and I have associated it with Star Wars ever since (when I was younger, I was surprised to see it in another movie, because I had thought it was only at the beginning of Star Wars). So it would be nice to see it. Maybe someone will stick it in there in a fanedit. :)
