Merrick here...

…with a tidbit about music for one of the (2 or 3 - depending on who you talk to) new STAR WARS television projects currently in development.

I’m presuming TK863 is referring to the CGI CLONE WARS series in the message below – as recent indications…uh…indicate that that the much-discussed live action series is still quite a ways off (with the possibility of another SW series coming about before the live action series).

Here’s what TK 863 has to say…

Was at a concert last night of the LA Scots, one of
the US's only Grade 1 Pipe Bands (bagpipes) in Laguna
Beach, and they had Eric Riegler (spelling?) who did
the pipe music for Titanic and Braveheart as a guest
performer.

The EmCee introduced Eric, and said Eric had just
finished recording some music for the Star Wars TV
Series. I followed up with Eric during the
intermission, and he told me the following: Yes, he
did in fact record music for the series. Each of the
planets has its own theme, and the one he was brought
in to develop music for was patterned after Bulgaria.
So, his music was patterned after an instrument (I
think he called it a gaeda (spelling?), a bagpipe-like
instrument played there), although he performed his
music on the Irish Pipes. He said it looked amazing,
and Lucas had done an incredible job of the look/feel
of at least what he saw.

He also said he was told the series/his episode would
be airing Summer, 2008.

By the way, the spelling of the guy's last name is Rigler, and you can learn more about him HERE!
