Lucas Star

Jeanne Costello

Lucas Star is a deeply emotional and powerful solo piano piece for late intermediate pianists, dedicated to Lucas Jones, affectionately known as “Jedi Lucas.” Though the piece does not incorporate Star Wars melodies or themes, its title reflects Lucas’s love for the iconic saga and his courageous spirit. The music itself is a tribute to Lucas’s bravery, crafted with sweeping melodies and poignant harmonies that evoke strength, hope, and resilience. Through its expressive phrasing and rich textures, Lucas Star takes the performer and listener on an inspiring journey, mirroring the strength and determination of a hero facing their greatest challenge. The piece builds with dynamic contrasts and evolving motifs, representing both the intense battles and moments of peace that define Lucas’s story. Intermediate pianists will explore a range of emotions and technical skills, from delicate, introspective passages to bold, triumphant chords. Lucas Star serves as both a tribute and a source of inspiration, offering performers the chance to connect deeply with the music’s emotional core, while honoring Lucas’s legacy of fighting with the bravery and heart of a true Jedi Knight.
