The Queen has been laid to rest at the Royal Vault, but if you think the controversies have ended, you’re clearly mistaken.
Many people on social media are convinced that the music being played for the Queen’s final funeral procession was indeed that of the Star Wars movie. And it’s leaving quite a few questions on people’s minds.
The news broke out as the state gun carriage was seen making its way throughout Westminster Abbey, with loud music blaring in the background. And it could be heard throughout different parts of London.
The person responsible for the music is the famous organist and master of the choristers, James O’Donnel, who leads such events at Westminster Abbey. And now, a lot of netizens are throwing out questions to him about why the music was so similar to that seen in the Star Wars movie.
“I don’t know why, but I continuously hear the Star Wars-themed music at the Queen’s funeral. Am I the only one or what?”- questioned one person, and just like that, others began to agree?
Some claim it was the same they heard when a battle scene would pop up in the movie, and they wondered why the similarity was so much on earth. While others did like it, some felt it was disrespectful as that’s the last thing being done while paying respect to the great Monarch on her final journey to the vault.
Thankfully, some critics cleared out the misconception that although it might seem to be the same, it was different, and even the composers were very different. But that just was just not good enough for netizens who felt a better explanation should be provided by those in charge.
Whatever the case may be, it’s a bizarre moment because you don’t usually associate a film with massive success linked to the Queen’s funeral. But we guess it is what it is.
