I like disco and Star Wars, so of course I'm familiar with the Meco Star Wars/Cantina Band song that actually hit #1 in the 1970's - super impressive for instrumental music. But there is actually a 15 minute 12" version of the tune that includes lightsaber 'vwhoom' sounds and a bunch of the other themes from the movie:
Spotify knows that I also like "Birdland", so it just recommended that I check out Maynard Ferguson's Main Title from "Star Wars". It's pretty spectacular:
Maynard Ferguson takes the music up a notch with his typical spectacular trumpet playing. It also got me wondering whether there was any more disco music inspired by Star Wars.
Geoff Love & His Orchestra did a disco version of Leia's Theme that I don't really care for. Do you have any more original Star Wars-inspired disco tunes to recommend?

So a Spotify search found a tune by Peter Hamilton Orchestra. It starts with a classic disco entrance and jumps right into Leia's theme which is a beautiful melody to get started. It keeps the disco beat going for seven minutes over variations of Leia's theme then closes with the main star wars theme and a countdown. I couldn't find any information about Peter Hamilton or his orchestra, so that's where this quest ends.
