So Spotify has released Star Wars character playlists...

Apparently, Qui-Gon Jinn listens to prog rock, Chewbacca listens to 80s hair metal, Luke listens to Mumford & Sons (meaning I rather root for the "luke dies" option in the upcoming film), The Emperor listens to motherfucking EDM like Diplo (GUESS IT STANDS FOR EMPEROR'S DANCE MUSIC AYY), Lando listens to sensuous sexy R&B (fair enough) and Kylo Ren listens to a wide selection of the absolute worst music in human history including Avenged Sevenfold, Black Veil Brides, Five Finger Death Punch, late-career Slipknot, Bullet For My Valentine, Papa Roach and Breaking Benjamin - which really makes me worried for his characterisation but we'll wait and see. Tomorrow I shall watch the film!

I gotta say - as far as marketing stratagems go, this ranks up there with the most pointless.

I happen to be rather fond of five of those bands, Breaking Benjamin especially. Go Kylo!

So Spotify has a site you can go to find out which Star Wars character you're most matched with based on your streaming history:
http://spotify-starwars.com/

I got Padme something something...

Weird, I'd have figured I'd get the Slipknot/A7X dude since I normally listen to death metal and doom metal, but I've been listening to a lot of drum and bass lately, and dubstep before that.

Look, I am not fucking joking, this has gone way too fucking far. This Disney merchandising bullshit is making people tired of Star Wars. There IS a point of diminishing returns, people. I don't think Disney will fuck up Star Wars with bad movies, but they CAN fuck it up with stupid shit like this. Just stop.

In that case I'd be more expecting you to get Darth Maul, who seems to be the one who listens to the more extreme end of metal based on my nonchalant glance at his playlist.

I still can't figure out what the fuck they were thinking with the Emperor's playlist. All I can think of is this:

Very mild spoilers:

Spoiler: show
Having seen the movie, it does not shock me at all that Kylo Ren is an emo little shit. I say that with some affection because I was also an emo little shit as a teenager, but then again, he's being played by a guy in his 30s.

When I log in on my account, I get C-3PO, which I can only assume is because I mainly use Spotify to listen to showtune soundtracks to karaoke out to in the car, and just use Pandora for everything else.

When I use guest mode and pick 5 artists, I get First Order Stormtrooper. Apparently, inside those helmets, they listen to 28% hard rock, 21% classic rock, and 15% uptempo rock, which works for me.

I got Finn. Which is fair since I essentially listen to Indie music on Spotify when I workout.

Listen, these are cute and all, but they cant hold a candle to the Gwen Stacy playlist:

So, update: I have now seen the film, and can conclude that it is very good and deserves watching. I shall probably see it again.

I wouldn't have seen it if it weren't for these playlists! Thanks, Spotify! I was thinking "ehhh Star Wars" but then I saw that Finn likes Arcade Fire and I just couldn't stay away!
