  After 3 consecutive Wilco albums that sounded how the world thought Wilco albums should sound, Star Wars flipped the script. The band sounds liberated by how casually the album arrived. Noise experiments, loose rock songs, pop melodies, and abstract fragments all coexist without much concern for polish or cohesion. Jeff Tweedy seems less interested in statement-making than in following instinct wherever it leads. That looseness gives the record a charm and spontaneity that the previous few LPs lacked.
