Blathering on about wookies....

I’m always amazed John Williams actually gave the Star Wars movies such an incredible score. Like, can you imagine being some supremely talented movie composer

— a SERIOUS artist type, you know — 

and some perennially dorky social klutz like George Lucas coming up to you and blathering on about “Wookies” and “Darth Vader” and “Light Saber duels” and you having to take that shit seriously? That's what's so impressive: Williams is the quintessential craftsmen. Give him a seemingly stupid job and he’ll still give an all-time effort.

There is a lesson in this, somewhere….
