Music Section
Updated |
Today I have updated the Music section with a new soundtrack! The latest addition
that you can download is from the video game TIE Fighter which was released July of 1994
and features 37 tracks!
The Star Wars: TIE Fighter Video Game was the sequel to Star Wars: X-Wing,
and the first game of the series that puts the player on the side of the
Galactic Empire. The game begins soon after the Battle of Hoth, and with the
expansions lead up to the Battle of Endor. The player assumes the role of a
rookie TIE pilot, whose name in the player's guide is given as Maarek Stele. See
cutscenes from the game in the Video
Game Scenes section.
The game originally used MIDI files for the music which was comprised of
computer sounds to make the music. Laserschwert has taken these files and
enhanced them to sound like real instruments. 95% of each track is based solely
on the game's MIDI files, composed by Michael Land, Clint Bajakian and Peter
McConnell. The remaining 5% are little additions here and there.
They now
sound really great! Enjoy!

New Star Wars
Film Separate From The Sequels |
Vulture has a great article about Zack Snyder who is
developing a new Star Wars film outside of the Sequel Trilogy. You may remember
he was asked in November if he was interested in doing Episode VII in which he
replied that he wasn't. It may now be coming to light that he is instead slated
for a separate Star Wars film outside of Sequel Trilogy.
He is in fact developing a Star Wars project for Lucasfilm that is set
within the series’ galaxy, though parallel to the next trilogy. It will be an
as-yet-untitled Jedi epic loosely based on Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic
Seven Samurai, with the ronin and katana being replaced by
the Force-wielding knights and their iconic lightsabers. This stand-alone film
is set sometime post–Episode VI events. Be sure to read the entire article!

Star Wars
Podcasting World Shake Up |
Over the weekend there was big
news in the world of Star Wars podcasting. Jason Swank and Jimmy McInerney
(Jimmy Mac) the hosts of The ForceCast are moving on to their own production
called Rebel Force
Radio. This news came as a shocking blow because so many of us Star Wars
fans have listened to them for years and look forward to their weekly podcast.
The good news is that they are not splitting up or quitting podcasting.
However, the seemingly sudden and unannounced move seems a bit strange.
Hopefully Jason and Jimmy were not "forced" (no pun intended) to leave creating
the need for the new show. I always hate to see any drama in the Star Wars fan
community and I hope this is something they have wanted to do starting with the
announcement of new Star Wars movies and the new year. Hopefully we will know
shortly.
Rebel Force Radio kicks off this Saturday, January 19th, so be sure to look
for the new show with the same great content and guests and I am sure there will
be a few new surprises. Listen to their Debut Promo MP3 advertisement. We wish Jason Swank and Jimmy
Mac all the best on this new endevor!
You can find Rebel Force Radio at the following locations:
