    Love them or hate them, alien "performances" are part of the Star Wars vibe. Whether it's dancing in front of Jabba, jamming to the jazzy delights of the Cantina band, or swaying side to side with ewoks as we chant "Yub-Nub"... music and concerts/dancing were part of the OT.

    Can we expect to see something similar in the ST? Yes, No, Maybe? Vote in the poll and share your thoughts on what it should be, if you have any ideas. Thanks!

    No Gungun jokes unless you also link to a Vine of you demonstrating their mating dance.

    I hope the Modal Nodes are on a reunion tour. If you remember on May the 4th they posted a video looking for a new band member.

    BOOM! Also, I recall some DJ had tweeted some things as well, yes?

    D'oh! Can't edit the poll anymore.

    The more accurate question is:

    What type of musical performance will we see in The Force Awakens?

    1. Dance performace (to DJ beats)
    2. Song performance (With alien vocals/subs)
    3. All of the above

    The musical numbers are quite grand. I do hope a new one will be as exciting and lively as my uncle Bilbo's 111th birthday!

    It would be great if we had a similiar cantina scene with Han and Chewie, and there is a an alien band playing a different song, and then when they finish, they announce that they're gonna play a classic song, and start playing the same song that the band in the cantina back in ANH. The Han looks at Chewie, and decides to accept/do whatever crazy thing Boyega and Ridley asked of them.

    Yeah, that is why I think there will definitely be something.

    Dancing Ewoks and singing Hutts would be awesome. (And it would get flamed a lot, but it would be really funny and just a joy.)

    That's actually quite a good shout.
    If the desert planet we've been seeing actually is Tatooine, and if the rumour about Han being sought out in a Cantina on said planet is true... well, put yourself in Arbams' shoes. Seriously. Think about it - how could you resist sneaking a bit of JizzWailing (stop sniggering, that's what it's called) in there?
    Honestly, I'm not a fan of all this repetition and recycling of ideas... but I think I can honestly say I'd make an exception and be genuinely thrilled to see these guys in action again...

    I was thinking a few days ago what type of atmosphere or background music JJ & ILM will add.
    If there's a cantina or bar scene(and again Lord, please don't be Tatooine), I'm almost certain it will be the same band or maybe a ROTJ special ed version with new snazzy aliens doing some rocking beats.

    I have no problem with musical numbers so long as they limit the music to instruments seen on screen. My biggest problems with the SE music changes at Jabba's Palace and Endor was that the music didn't fit the scene. Suddenly you are hearing big brass sections in Jabba's palace and choruses and keyboards on Endor. It didn't fit the location and it takes me out of the scene every time.

    Now obviously, Max Rebo's keyboards and The Modal Nodes instruments aren't real, but you should be able to believe that the sounds they are playing could actually realistically come from the instruments you see onscreen. Otherwise it seems fake.

    I'd like to see a collaboration of the remaining members that are still alive from The Max Rebo Band and Figrin' Dan and the Modal Nodes.
