# Talk:The Planets

It's not a planet so the reference in the introduction to "all the planets except Pluto" has been deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.168.194 (talk) 4 April 2011

It's said in the Adaptations->In Popular Culture section that it was used to inspire the Imperial March from Star Wars. It's probably worth adding that it was used in "The Battle of Yavin" as well, such as around 13:15 in this video of the Death Star attack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WBG2rJZGW8

Did something significant happen on 6 September 2025? The daily page views for this article went from around 700 per day to 11,025 in a single day. The Gustav Holst page also surged to 5,535. Within a couple of days they were back to normal. merlinVtwelve (talk) 22:44, 16 September 2025 (UTC)

Often this means a social media post somewhere went viral. It looks like it was recommended as a solution to bad neighbours around that time, not sure if that's the explanation but I enjoyed it. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:52, 16 September 2025 (UTC)
I have used the overture to Die Meistersinger for that purpose, but "Mars" would certainly do. Tim riley talk 15:44, 17 September 2025 (UTC)
I would probably use Space Truckin' by Deep Purple. There is even a version that includes a quote from "The Planets". merlinVtwelve (talk) 04:50, 18 September 2025 (UTC)

Does anybody know why this page is in the category "Concert Band Pieces"? It's a suite for orchestra, not concert band, and the page doesn't mention any concert band arrangements that I noticed. Peter of Loren (talk) 07:07, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

IMSLP lists numerous arrangements of the suite including versions for wind bands and brass ensembles, but they are not Holst's arrangements and I'd have no objection to your removing the category unless other users object. Tim riley talk 08:49, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
As nobody has commented further I've removed the category. Tim riley talk 16:54, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
