What's with those modern needle drops in Willow, anyway?
When the Walt Disney Company officially purchased Lucasfilm in 2012, the first questions that rose to mind were regarding the future of the Star Wars franchise. Obviously, the galaxy far, far away was going to take precedence in the $4 billion deal, but it now seems like Disney is turning its eyes to some of the other properties in the Lucasfilm archive.
The first season of Willow consists of eight episodes, and each is introduced as the “chapter” in a story. The song that plays at the end of each installment teases that the story is wrapping up, and generally features either a major cliffhanger or a check-in on the status quo of the characters. The first episode, “The Gales,” closes with "Guess Who's Back” by The Beginners and Night Panda, and the second episode, “The High Aldwin,” closes with Sir Jude's "Hurdy Gurdy Man.
'Willow' Offers a New Sound for a New Generation Compared to Star Wars and Indiana Jones, Willow was more of a cult hit than a runaway success. While it eventually turned a profit thanks to international box office boosts, it received mixed reviews, and a sequel was never put in motion. The new Willow couldn’t simply coast on legacy, because it's not a world that younger audiences were immediately familiar with.
