It's probably the moment that the score kicked in during the first teaser trailer that wiped the prequels from my mind.


Although he did score the prequels. So there's limits to what he can do
He also did Superman and Indiana Jones, and Jaws. The guy is beyond brilliant.

Home Alone? That feels more like Danny Elfman.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It's settled, then! John Williams to work with Pearl Jam on its next record. All will be fixed. The last few albums wiped from memory!

I end up just buying the cool minifigs on electronic bay. The sets cost way too much in Australia.

But does your falcon shoot things?

Also why are these pics of the new Lego sets only of a corner?

That looks like shitty downgrade on the Falcon set. And what dickhead has the box and only posts the bottom left corner?
