Which 1977 disco single by Meco was based on music from Star Wars?

Meco’s 1977 disco single based on music from Star Wars was “Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band.”

The recording was created by Meco Monardo, a trombonist, arranger, and producer who became fascinated by John Williams’s score after seeing the film. Meco transformed the film themes into an extended disco arrangement, combining orchestral quotations with a dance rhythm and studio effects.

Released as Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band, the single became a major commercial success in the United States and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Its success helped establish a brief but influential cycle of film-score disco adaptations.

The track is sometimes called simply “Star Wars,” but its canonical single title identifies both the main theme and the Cantina Band material. It should also be distinguished from Meco’s full album, Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk.
