“It’s Pure Magic”: Celebrating John Williams and His Music

Star Wars, and many of the movies we love, would not be the same without John Williams. With a body of work that includes the scores for the nine-film Star Wars saga, Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Indiana Jones, and Jurassic Park, to name but a few, Williams’ compositions are embedded in our memories and lives. From a dorsal fin emerging out of beach waters, to Luke Skywalker gazing longingly at setting twin suns, to the goosebump-inducing sight of a towering brachiosaurus, his music connects us to characters and worlds in ways that touch us deep down. It’s romantic, stirring, gorgeous — to imagine these scenes and films without his music is near impossible.

Celebrating the legendary composer’s 90th birthday, StarWars.com spoke with

From the Pages of Star Wars Insider: Billy Dee Williams and Donald Glover Talk Lando in Galaxy’s Greatest Heroes Special – Excerpt

Hello, what we here? 

The next collection of classic Star Wars Insider features — Star Wars: The Galaxy’s Greatest Heroes — arrives February 15, celebrating the Jedi, rebel princesses, and Wookiee warriors we love. But not to be left out, of course, are the charming rogues. In StarWars.com’s exclusive excerpt of the magazine special, Billy Dee Williams and Donald Glover speak at length about bringing our favorite cape-wearing, smooth-talking scoundrel Lando Calrissian to life, talking capes, charisma, and character.  

LANDO CALRISSIAN – Suave, debonair, and charismatic, Billy Dee Williams’ portrayal of Lando Calrissian in the original trilogy created a cape-swirling icon before Donald Glover played the character as a younger man.

Already a respected actor prior to his casting in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Billy Dee Williams was only

Go Figure: How Classic Star Wars Toys Made Me A Fan

This was 1978, and Kenner had only made 12 figures — Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Obi-Wan, C-3PO, R2-D2, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, Death Squad Commander, Tusken Raider, and Jawa. That decision was how I learned about sales tax (the price tag at the toy store said $1.99 but you needed $2.13 at the register) and to budget. It also super-charged my impulse to not only collect but also be a completist: These days I collect not just action figures but also baseball cards, music, and books.

But collecting figures also super-charged my interest in Star Wars and storytelling. I’d fallen in love with George Lucas’ movie the previous summer, but back then the saga only consisted of one film and a monthly Marvel comic book. I turned to my action figures

The Power of the Force and Found Family in Star Wars: Hunters: Battle for the Arena – Exclusive Reveal

Lando Calrissian, Jango Fett, and Asajj Ventress may not seem like obvious inspirations for a new anti-hero. But in this trio of driven, often self-serving characters, author Mark Oshiro found the elements they needed to tell the story of Rieve from Star Wars: Hunters.

Today, StarWars.com is pleased to reveal the cover of Oshiro’s new book, Star Wars: Hunters: Battle for the Arena, based on the forthcoming game. The story will transport us to the world of Vespaara where newcomer Rieve, a Force-sensitive orphan from Corellia, is finding her footing as a Hunter in the Arena. But it’s not long before her past comes back to haunt her…

Recently, Oshiro sat down to talk about their love of Star Wars, how their life experience is woven throughout their writing, and why Grozz
