ArcAttack performs the Imperial March with 8 foot Tesla Coil. Love the chain-mail Faraday body suit replete with boots and franken-helmet. FUN! Note the pulsing fluourescent light in the background.
Would Star Wars have been so epic without John Williams' majestic soundtrack? I think not. It's amazing how cool and fresh the oober-villain theme song always sounds to me. Maybe I'm dated and just can't hear it, but this is brilliant music. The fact that something as inorganic-sounding as this instrumentation can manage to be so compelling is testament to what superbly crafted music this is. What a grand thing.
Superb!

A tidbit for you and your readers from my vast storehouse of completely useless knowledge:
John Williams created the main theme for Star Wars by turning the sheet music for Born Free upside down.
Ah... he's NUTS, other than that, a great piece...LOL
It's also called a Zeusaphone or a Thoremin. Here's a deliciously seasonal little ditty.
