Ancient Boss
This reminded me of star wars as well. The war that started in space and then continued the battle on a desert planet. I thought i heard some Egyptian melodies in this. The thumbnail really fits as well. A lot of tension though, and every time i expect a release around the corner it just gets more dramatic/climactic.
Exploring the space temple
Like the percussion. I really enjoy the melodic journey/narrative on this one. For sure my favorite of the two and fits the description.
Nice work! and never say never. just be consistent!
