Music from Other Galaxies and Planets is an album by trumpeter/bandleader Don Ellis recorded in 1977 and released on the Atlantic label. The album features Ellis' recording of the "Theme from Star Wars" which was released as a single.
Scott Yanow of Allmusic said "This LP is the only complete misfire of Don Ellis' career. ...Ellis' big band has little to do other than play mundane ensembles and take occasional short solos. This is the one Don Ellis record that should be skipped". On All About Jazz, Jim Santella observed "this album from the Don Ellis library contains all the rhythmic and polyphonic excitement that you’d expect from such a pioneer in modern big band jazz. ...the album has a significant place in the history of jazz. Ellis influenced many. His legacy continues to inspire"
