Chat corner 2026-04, with music

[annathecrow]

Hi,

welcome to the weekly chat corner. Have anything SW-related to talk about?

Me, I'm thinking about listening to music fannishly: connecting certain songs with certain characters, creating fannish playlists, having specific music for writing/creating.

Do you do that kind of thing? I've only started semi-recently, but it's one of my favorite fannish activities nowadays. I think my favorite association is still Phildel's Funeral Bell for Darth Vader - I just love how tragic it is. (Sneaky self-promo, hell yeah.)

Sooo... any SW-related songs for you? Playlists? Vids, even?

Ooh, I should make that Chosen One fanmix I've been thinking about (consisting exclusively of songs where the lyrics include the phrase "chosen one"). (Ft. Anakin, Luke, and Rey.) Or even an Anakin fanmix. Or a Jedi Exile one! I already made one for Revan.

I'm also making a vid album: Beyond the Black, a Rey of Light, where I make a vid for every song on Beyond the Black's self-titled album. (I have songs 1, 2, and 6 published; 3 is done but not yet published.) Also trying to seek out some song that would work for a Rey & Sheev Palpatine vid. Haven't hit on anything yet...

I have to say that The Attack of the Clones soundtrack was formative for me as a child, especially that sweeping Anakin/Padmé love theme Across the Stars. Too bad I don't care about them at all in my current fandom iteration, because it's SUCH a good theme. I still get emotional listening to it.

I can't say I have any SW fannish playlists (or really any fannish playlists in recent memory). However I do have a contribution for last week's question about non-fandom SW fan encounters.

I have a great All-Female SW gift bag (pic of part of it):


The grocery checker last week saw my bag and thought it was very cool. He asked where I got it and I told him it was at the grocery in their gift bag section! He was surprised and said he'd have to check that area out. He also thought it was a great idea for tote use since if you ever lost it you could call the grocery and ask if anyone had found a Star Wars bag 🙂
