If you ever needed proof that the one saving grace of the “Star Wars” medal ceremony scene was John Williams’ soaring, celebratory score, then “Star Wars Minus Williams” is an Exhibit A that requires no Exhibit B.
Comedy group the Auralnauts posted this music-free version of the scene on their YouTube channel, where the pomp and circumstance of Williams’ music is replaced by ambient shuffling, the occasional stifled cough, and a couple moments of colorful commentary by Chewbacca. The result? To paraphrase George Orwell: If you want a vision of cringe-inducing awkwardness, imagine a Wookie screaming in a silent, crowded room, forever.
