nless you’ve been living inside a dead Tauntaun for the past few days, you know that Disney has purchased Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion. And you also know that Disney has plans to expand the already gigantic “Star Wars” brand with new games, TV shows, theme park attractions and movies – including a trilogy set after “Return of the Jedi,” beginning with episode seven in 2015. Being a major “Star Wars” fanboy since 1977, I’ve cobbled together a few suggestions as to how Disney can restore “Star Wars” to its pre-“Phantom Menace” reputation as the greatest sci-fi franchise in history. (Yeah, I said it. Sorry, Trekkies.) n Forget about releasing the rest of the existing films in 3D, something George Lucas never should have started in the first place. (There’s a long list of things Lucas never should have done, but there’s no room to go into them all here.) Continuing this unwanted folly will only distract Disney from making killer new movies that will equal the greatness of the “Lord of the Rings” and Harry Potter film adaptations. n Re-release episodes four through six on Blu-ray – in their original theatrical versions. Han needs to shoot first! n Bring back Darth Vader. Yeah, I know, he died in “Jedi,” but so what? He’s already returned as a ghost a la Yoda and Obi-Wan, and if they bring back the Emperor (who died way too easily in “Jedi”), they can have Palpatine use the dark side of the Force to resurrect Vader and return him to his bad self. Because without Darth Vader, there is no “Star Wars.” n Resist the urge to recast Luke, Han and Leia with younger actors. Bring back Mark Hamill as an aging Luke Skywalker forced to battle Vader and the Emperor again while trying to rebuild the Jedi Council, and have Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford return in supporting roles. The main cast can consist of young new characters, but don’t disregard the old ones in the process. n Keep George Lucas’ involvement as minimal as possible. We all know what can happen when his ego isn’t kept in check (Jar Jar Binks, anyone?) and when he doesn’t have a good writing team to catch stupid continuity mistakes. n Take a cue from Universal Studios Orlando’s Harry Potter theme park and do the same with “Star Wars,” building upon the existing “Star Tours” and making a full-fledged park with multiple attractions. I’ve wanted to blast TIE Fighters in a simulated X-Wing for more than 30 years, so make it happen. n Finally, release “The Star Wars Holiday Special” on DVD and Blu-ray. This cult classic has never had an official release since being televised once in 1978 (not even on VHS), and it’s high time it was. Everyone deserves to see Boba Fett’s cartoon debut, Chewbacca’s father watching Wookie porn and a coked-up Carrie Fisher attempting to sing. Good luck, Mouse House. Make the Force be with you.

#Z 3*$, +0)/40/ By RICK JOHNSON irst things first: Mystic Folk Opera is JSTU UIJOHT mSTU .ZTUJD 'PML 0QFSB JT neither folk nor opera. The band acOFJUIFS GPML OPS PQFSB 5IF CBOE BD curately describes itself on Facebook DVSBUFMZ EFTDSJCFT JUTFMG PO 'BDFCPPL as "soulful blues rock with a progressive BT iTPVMGVM CMVFT SPDL XJUI B QSPHSFTTJWF bent." CFOU w The blues is certainly MFO's musical 5IF CMVFT JT DFSUBJOMZ .'0 T NVTJDBM foundation, but it's a rocked-up version of GPVOEBUJPO CVU JU T B SPDLFE VQ WFSTJPO PG the blues, definitely more Led Zeppelin UIF CMVFT EFmOJUFMZ NPSF -FE ;FQQFMJO than B.B.

And there are definitely UIBO # # ,JOH "OE UIFSF BSF EFmOJUFMZ progressive influences at work here, but QSPHSFTTJWF JOnVFODFT BU XPSL IFSF CVU not the note-dense variety that one usuOPU UIF OPUF EFOTF WBSJFUZ UIBU POF VTV ally associates with '70s prog-rock like Yes BMMZ BTTPDJBUFT XJUI T QSPH SPDL MJLF :FT or Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Instead, PS &NFSTPO -BLF BOE 1BMNFS *OTUFBE the band goes for the subtler layered atUIF CBOE HPFT GPS UIF TVCUMFS MBZFSFE BU mospherics of Pink Floyd and The Moody NPTQIFSJDT PG 1JOL 'MPZE BOE 5IF .PPEZ Blues, choosing slowly building moods #MVFT DIPPTJOH TMPXMZ CVJMEJOH NPPET over grandiose displays of virtuosity. PWFS HSBOEJPTF EJTQMBZT PG WJSUVPTJUZ But what really makes "A Book of #VU XIBU SFBMMZ NBLFT i" #PPL PG Painted Sighs" something truly special 1BJOUFE 4JHITw TPNFUIJOH USVMZ TQFDJBM and unique is the amazing vocal interplay BOE VOJRVF JT UIF BNB[JOH WPDBM JOUFSQMBZ between the band's three singers, Kristin CFUXFFO UIF CBOE T UISFF TJOHFST ,SJTUJO DiCara, "Cheeks" (aka Nathan McClellan) %J$BSB i$IFFLTw BLB /BUIBO .D$MFMMBO and Elisha Frank. BOE &MJTIB 'SBOL The CD starts off in suitably Floydian 5IF $% TUBSUT PGG JO TVJUBCMZ 'MPZEJBO fashion with a sound collage composed of GBTIJPO XJUI B TPVOE DPMMBHF DPNQPTFE PG frenetic violins interspersed with traffic GSFOFUJD WJPMJOT JOUFSTQFSTFE XJUI USBGmD and train effects that build in intensity BOE USBJO FGGFDUT UIBU CVJME JO JOUFOTJUZ until morphing into the opening ringing VOUJM NPSQIJOH JOUP UIF PQFOJOH SJOHJOH chord of "Tail Lights." The rhythm section DIPSE PG i5BJM -JHIUT w 5IF SIZUIN TFDUJPO of bassist Bob Mills and drummer Rich PG CBTTJTU #PC .JMMT BOE ESVNNFS 3JDI Cantz provides a solid foundation for the $BOU[ QSPWJEFT B TPMJE GPVOEBUJPO GPS UIF breathy vocals of DiCara, who alluringly CSFBUIZ WPDBMT PG %J$BSB XIP BMMVSJOHMZ coos out a tale of a journey west by car.
