Bah. They go to all the trouble of building a half-scale X-Wing AND launching it but can't be arsed to use the REAL Star Wars theme? :razz:
'I wonder how far the barometer sunk.'-'All der way. Trust me on dis.'
'Go ahead. Bake my quiche'.
'Undead or alive, you're coming with me.'
'Detritus?'-'Yessir?'-'Never go to Klatch'.-'Yessir.'
'Many fine old manuscripts in that place, I believe. Without price, I'm told.'-'Yes, sir. Certainly worthless, sir.'-'Is it possible you misunderstood what I just said, Commander?'
'Can't sing, can't dance, can handle a sword a little'

Is that the theme from the X-Wing PC game?

Possibly. It definitely sounds like it's from a computer game.

Yeah, it's from the opening credits of the original X-Wing. Incidentally, it's odd that the opening cutscene has such poor quality music; during gameplay, the game plays the full movie scores. I could never fathom why they didn't just use the actual music for the opener as well.
