With that in mind, a bunch of Star Wars' fans (with amateur and professional music players) gathered in the premises of an old quarry in the northern part of Greece to answer this very question...

A big "thank you" to the luthier Anastasios and Luthieros Team (check out their amazing work at http://en.luthieros.com/) for kindly providing us all the one-of-a-kind ancient music instruments (chelys lyres, a barbiton lyre, an ancient Kithara of the Golden Age, a lyre of Har Meggido, an Epigonion, the lyre of Thamyris and an ancient Egyptian drum Bendir) that were used for this fan-made video!

Special thanks to Danis Koumartzis for his stunning orchestration, Chris Sagias for his marvelous video direction, and Nikos Varelas for his awesome percussion skills.
Last, thanks to iRec.gr Homemade Music Productions team for all their much-needed bits of advice and know-how!
