Doomed Cinema - Adventures Of The Starkiller

THE DOOMED & STONED SHOW Season 5, Episode 13 The George Lucas film Star Wars holds a very special place in my memory. It's one of the earliest things I can recall: holding Dad's hand as we waited in a long line that twisted around the two-screen movie theater and around the block in our small Seattle suburb. When screen time arrived, I was absolutely transfixed, perhaps most by the desert scenes on Tatooine. Fast forward to the present day and I come up with this crazy idea: why not do a rock and metal tribute to the film so precious and influential on my youth? I think the story works quite nicely without the tidy resolution of the final act, so I'll leave you hanging around the destruction of Alderaan and see how that suits your fancy pants. One more thing: the working title for the film was, 'Adventures Of The Starkiller - Episode I' and the thumbnail is from a portfolio of concept art by Ralph McQuarrie, who painted 21 such portraits in all (including my favorite rendition of Darth Vader).
