'Star Wars'… with Jazz Hands!

An alternative to the iconic...

The theme music to Star Wars has to be one of the most recognizable pieces of film score ever, and if it isn't Jaws must be, either way it is John Williams, but this new video I found below via Hollywood Elsewhere gives us a fun-as-hell look at what might have been, had Star Wars "been released in 1957 instead of '77 and George Lucas had hired Saul Bass to do the main titles."

Bass was behind several Hitchcock titles, including Psycho (titles here). A good comparison in this case to what this video creator was going for can be found in the Anatomy of a Murder titles here.

The music in the video below is "Machine" by the Buddy Rich Band off the album Big Swing Face, which was released in '67 and would have been hard to use in '57.
