One would assume, that's the only Star Wars release year left to us.

Would think so, other than 2005, which would be bad. Very bad.
Anyway, I've been researching possible suggestions, and trying to tie them to a seque. One I came up with:
Luke: "I have a very bad feeling about this."
into ...
Peter Frampton, "I'm in You"
But that's just mean.
-
Vader: "I find your lack of faith disturbing."
into...
Elvis Costello "Waiting For The End Of The World"

Elvis Costello "Waiting For The End Of The World"
Or the TH, "Psycho Killer". Though for Psycho Killer I was thinking this:
Princess Leia Organa: No! Alderaan is peaceful! We have no weapons, you can't possibly...
Governor Tarkin: [impatiently] You would prefer another target, a military target? Then name the system! I grow tired of asking this so it will be the last time: *Where* is the rebel base?
Princess Leia Organa: ...Dantooine. They're on Dantooine.
Governor Tarkin: There. You see, Lord Vader, she can be reasonable. Continue with the operation; you may fire when ready.
Princess Leia Organa: WHAT?
Governor Tarkin: You're far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration - but don't worry; we will deal with your rebel friends soon enough.

Getting Meco out of the way first. Good idea.
-
Bill Murray (of course) --> "You Don't Have to be a Star (Wars) to Be in My Show".

Yep, sets the tone so we can move on to (hopefully) better things.
(1977 is not my fave year; as Wayback Dischead pointed out, there's a lot to not like in that year.)

Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis? An acceptable level of cheeze in this one.
-
VHM Thin Lizzy in the moonlight.
-
BOS1, Thin Lizzy
-
um, The Records , "Starry Eyes"? Best guess from Google, but they also say it's from '78.
ETA: Guess not, see Mike's post below. NTM.
-
Well, well, well...
The celestial theme continues with Roky Erickson's Starry Eyes. Possible Bustout, BOS1.
-
Obi Wan confronts Darth Vader > CSN, Dark Star.
Makes sense.
-
"Dark Star" was inevitable.
-
Princess Leia --> "Little Queen". heh.
-
Princess Leia --> "Little Queen". heh.
VHM
-
"Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope! > Television, Venus
Another bustout? BOS2!
ETA: Nope, not a bustout -- two previous plays, the second of which was an encore of the original set.

I'm trying to be lenient re: LNs that fit into a segue, but Iggy's "Passenger" is the biggest FF we've heard so far.

I'd have picked the CSN tune for that title, but they've both made fairly regular appearances.
-
droids --> APP from I Robot. Clever.

Nice headphone candy.
-
More Star Wars "We don't serve your kind here" > Alan Parsons Project - I Robot
VHM, maybe even BOS.
-
another FF: Bowie, "Hee-woes"
-
"May the Force be with you" > Bowie, Heroes
Natch. Great song, oft heard, you get a VHM.

I must say AL acquitted herself admirably (and cleverly) this week. And now let us never hear of Star Wars again. :)

Not bloody likely. SW Episode VIII is scheduled for a Memorial Day release in 2017. I expect more of the same.

I've been wondering about the SW blitz this week on 10@10. I can understand why KGO-TV would devote so many
minutes on their "news" programs to flog the movie, but why KFOG? A little poking around reveals that the owner
of KFOG, Cumulus Media, appears to be part of ABC Radio Network, which is in turned owned by Disney, who is
distributing the film. There are actually a couple of other links in that corporate chain, but that's the gist of it.

I'd use the word 'shilling' instead of 'blitz', but yeah, KFOG's behavior over the release has been at best embarrassing.
I think the Star War franchise has many positive characteristics, but like The Simpsons, its sponsors will evidently stop at nothing when it comes to promotion.

That pretty much describes Disney to a T.

I honestly don't see evil corporate synergy here. Cumulus *used* to partner with ABC Radio Networks (they are owned by Disney) but that ended last year, so there's no direct or indirect link. I think this was a "cute" idea that someone came up with at a weekly programming meeting and they just kinda ran with it -- AL had fun and seemed to have pretty free rein. Like it or not, it is a genuine pop-cultural phenom. I certainly found it far less annoying than the Outside Lands, Live From the Archives or Bottle Rock promotional sets. Dave and AL have both done James Bond sets in the past when those movies opened.

While I think it's still an open question, I do agree that, clips aside, we've gotten two or three
good sets out of it this week.

KTVU news (not owned by Disney, I'm pretty sure) was flogging the hell out of the movie too (leading to some awkward segues like "Hey Sal, have you been using the force to get people through the backup on 24?"). So I really think that the marketing blitz/cultural phenomenon just hit critical mass, and if you weren't talking about SW, then there was a perceived risk of losing viewers to people who were.

Good insight there, LR.
