January 9: Jabba’s Sail Barge– We’re on a boat!

Zac Brown Band - The Foundation

Wasn't quite sure what to do with this one, so took it to mean "yacht rock" of choice.

Among other awful tasting fare and libations, so I hear.

I made amazing fried chicken last night. What the fuck are these rich assholes doing?

January 8: Anakin/Vader - Play an artist that changed (persona, genres or some other thing that made you view them differently)

Wilco - Summerteeth

It was really Being There that started to take Wilco out of the Americana genre full time, but this one kicked the door open to some beautiful pop/power pop.

The entire world will be left to wonder. I'm told those types of secrets are locked tight in the 700 club penthouse suite. Thankfully, no sane person from this forum would step into let alone reside there.

January 9: Jabba’s Sail Barge– We’re on a boat!

Max Rebo was the bandleader in Jabbas palace and on his barge. Just gonna leave this biography here from wookiepedia:

"Maximilian "Max" Rebo was a male Ortolan from Orto and a popular Jizz-wailer musician who led the Max Rebo Band. He mainly played the red ball jett organ, which he played with his feet; he and his band often performed for criminals and gangsters."

Maximilian Rebo

Since Max survived the Barge explosion to show up in the Mandalorian, I'd like to think he was singing "Ride Like The Wind" as he fled the scene.

Most of this album was written on a sailboat.

January 10: Smuggler’s Groove

The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium

January 10: Smuggler’s Groove – What would Han and Chewie listen to aboard the Millennium Falcon?

I'd imagine there is a LOT of downtime on the Falcon. Han and Chewie probably probably spent some time with a death stick or two listening to this album and contemplating the universe. Which would also put this scene in a whole other context....



Pink Floyd ~ Dark Side of the Moon

 

[LeSamourai]

We may not know what music plays on the Millennium Falcon, but we do know what's playing while Space Ghost flies coast to coast planet to planet:

Day 10

I’d bet Chewie and Han would be big Colemine fans. I’m sure this would sound great on the reel to reel you know he has in the listening room on that thing.


Salvator Dragratto - Thoughts of You

R.E.M. - Murmur

Spoon - A Series Of Sneaks

The album title works for smuggling contraband under the Empires nose. Also, Spoon make the type of driving indie rock that would soundtrack making the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs perfectly.
