The full band, live:
Or the stripped-back version
Same songs, acoustic. Built for smaller rooms, afternoon slots, and anywhere a full backline won’t fit.
The one-line version
A rock band with five albums of original songs about Star Wars — fan theories, forgotten background characters, and the Death Star’s catastrophic safety record.
The longer version
Tom Hummer and Mike Bal met in an Iowa band called Thoughts of Crossing, where “The Han Solo Project” was a running joke about a record they never made. When Disney bought Lucasfilm and reset the canon, the joke turned into a band. Five albums later, they’ve written songs about Nien Nunb, Chewbacca’s cookie business, Admiral Ackbar’s missing limbs, and whether Indiana Jones is just Han Solo’s carbonite fever dream.
It’s affectionate, not snide. The band are fans first, and it shows — the audience for this is the person who has an actual position on the Holdo maneuver.

What we can do at your event
- A full band set — the loud version, built to fit your slot
- An acoustic set — same songs, smaller footprint, good for a side room or an afternoon
- A panel or Q&A on writing fan music — how you make five albums about someone else’s universe without getting sued
- A comedy panel on the Empire’s workplace safety record, which is genuinely indefensible and which we have researched more than anyone should
- Any two of the above, if you want to fill an afternoon
Tech rider, stage plot, press photos and logo files are all available — ask and we’ll send them over the same day.
Programming a fan film festival?
Your entrants have a music problem. Use the real Star Wars score and the film gets Content ID claimed; avoid it and the film doesn’t feel right. Every song we’ve written is original, so our whole catalog is free for your filmmakers to use — credit only, and we’ll cut cues to picture if that’s more useful.
