- The Force will awaken within you after watching this video!
After climbing 640 steps up to the top of the sacred isle of Skellig Michael, in Corporal Hunter Lopez's name, I am proud to present "Star Wars" to you all. Four years of dreaming up this video, I can't believe the day is finally here!! I am so excited to share my vision of the Bagpipe version of "Star Wars" with you all. The "Star Wars" movie franchise was what I grew up being influenced by and I have always loved this iconic music. Playing this for you all fills me with so much joy and takes me back in time to a younger version of myself. Thank you for following my channel and supporting me as a musician. Your support and messages on my videos bring me so much joy. I hope after watching this video that you all feel the Force within you.
May the Force Be With You ALL!
~Story behind the music~
There are many days that I find myself at Riverside National Cemetery preparing as a Bagpiper to play during Military honors for our Veterans and their families. I am truly honored to be a part of these last moments as the families gather to say their final farewell to those they love who served our country faithfully. The phrase "Freedom Isn't Free" is something that I feel deep in my soul each time I am on these sacred grounds. In preparation for these moments I have found that warming my pipes up near someone that I have played for in the past has brought me comfort and has helped me set the tone for serving the next soul.
On May 4th 2022 I was drawn to go and warm up my Pipes next to Corporal Hunter Lopez's graveside. When I got to his Grave I saw that his grave was covered in all things Star Wars and realized in that moment that we connected on this love of Star Wars. Finding myself here at his grave on May 4th was magical. I immediately played "Star Wars" for Hunter that day and every May 4th since that day. I have no doubt he hears me playing for him.
My husband and I travelled to Ireland in 2023 and had a goal to go to Skellig Michael where the newest Star Wars series had been filmed and film these scenes for this video. Skellig Michael is a remote, rocky island situated in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of County Kerry in Ireland and is one of only two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. On the summit of this awe-inspiring rock off the Kerry coast is St Fionan’s monastery, one of the earliest foundations in the country. The monks who lived there prayed and slept in beehive-shaped huts made of stone, many of which remain to this day. The monks left the island in the thirteenth century. It was home to the Monks who wrote and protected the sacred script of the Book of Kells. Most people who travel with this plan have a small chance of ever landing on this sacred Isle. I felt that The Force was truly with us on the day we planned this part of our trip and I have no doubt Hunter was a part of this journey.
~Dedication~

My two favourite sounds Bagpipes and Star Wars music 🎶🎶❤️❤️
🙌🏻🤩 Yes! May the Force be with you!!!
@@DarkIsleBagpiper ever since I could speak etc I was listening to recordings of Bagpipes and Watching Star Wars as it came out.
Tried to learn the pipes but had no co ordination for the notes. Need a good teacher
This was amazing!
And God Bless you Corporal Hunter and family. 🤍
Thank you! I know the family appreciates the love and support.
Magnificent. Thanks always for sharing 👍🙏😍❤️⛰️🌊💕🎶🌹☀️
Thank you Tress. Beautiful playing and video. May the Fourth be with you.
I’m so happy you enjoyed this video and the scenery. This place was incredible. I can see why they filmed here for the “Force Awakens”
Take us all to the stars
That was so much fun; and blessings for the dedication.
I am so happy that you enjoyed this version of this iconic music! Hope you have a wonderful May 4th!

This is Lord Wellington. D23 is happenin this weekend. I understand it's Sold Out. No doubt folks can still hear Star Wars from the Dark Isle Bagpiper though.
Lord Wellington again. I mentioned you when I met the " Highland bagpipers. " I told them that you played at funerals. And had worked for Disney in the past. The leader knew all about D23.
Had to listen to this in my car because it's the best sound system I have 😅
Phenomenal!!!!
Glad you like it! This makes my heart happy that you are listening on the good speakers!!😍🙌🏻
Awesome. It would have been interesting hearing the imperial march at the end. A guitarist Buckethead does it that way, and i think it would sound great.
Beautiful, great to see new music from you
More to come! I promise!!
Fantastico video and music!!!!❤
❤thank you!! Glad you enjoyed this!
An amazing performance thanks for sharing ❤❤

What island is that.
The island is off the west coast of Ireland called Skellig Michael
@@DarkIsleBagpiper where they filmed a certain movie :) ...
@@andrewgrant2990😁🤩
@@DarkIsleBagpiper Plot twist @ the end: the bagpipes are tossed aside for another instrument. Then your turn to the Dark Side would be complete & the rage of fans would make you more powerful.
❣️🇺🇲❣️
Outstanding!
Thank you kindly!
