A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away….those are the words that began one of the greatest franchises in movie history. However, the video games based on those franchises were very much worthy of the same praise! That’s why on today’s episode of XVGM Radio, Mike and Justin are chatting about the Star Wars games and their amazing music! Mostly orchestral pieces, they chat about some of John Williams classics and the arrangers that brought them to all of us on 8-Bit, 16-bit and beyond. Plus, discussions about heavy metal Star Wars tribute bands, Star Wars sleepovers and nerdy Anthony Daniels style letter writing, and a special visit from the Mandalorian and Grogu! Don’t miss this summer blockbuster episode of XVGM Radio!
