"Out on the third planet closest to the sun, there's a special celebration, and it sounds quite fun." It's called the "Guardians of the Galaxy" saga, but sadly, despite playing out across a whole movie trilogy and a Disney+ holiday special — complete with an alien band performing a musical number — it has never featured Dave Bautista's character, Drax the Destroyer, wailing on the cosmic saxophone like Kenny G.
