She sang in an episode of Droids ("The Lost Prince"), which was ALSO changed when it was recut into a movie for VHS. Finally she appeared in the Clone Wars, singing Daa Hutt Muna ("That Hutt Love"), a tribute to Temple of Doom, in "The Hunt for Ziro". youtu.be/VlCUMFuZ7oU?...

Sy Snootles appeared in Return of the Jedi in 1983, singing Lapti Nek ("Fancy Man"). That was changed to Jedi Rocks in 1997, whenJoh Yowza the Yuzzum was brought on board and she lost her tusks and her primary mouth. (Originally, she sang through her nose.)

"Moulee-Rah" ("Money" in Huttese) is one of the tunes R-3X plays in Oga's Cantina. Dan Fontana & Roger Butterley recorded it, but in-universe it's credited to Fytee featuring R.B. Snootles. A relative of Sy? It's 30 years after RotJ — perhaps her child? youtu.be/XXzxKnRPzUA?...

But that's not the first insight we got into Zeb's musical tastes: at 12:32 in "Out of Darkness" (S1E7) we hear him listening to a synthwave tune as he's sitting down to enjoy a nice plate of space waffles.

One of my favorite pieces of diegetic music, Kevin Kiner's "Zeb Rock" from Rebels. It's the van rock of the Star Wars universe. youtu.be/R9t3zthlh5E?...

There is other music in Galaxy's Edge — for instance, Rise of the Resistance features John Williams music from the sequel trilogy, but it is clearly a non-diegetic soundtrack to build excitement. There's music heard in Savi's Workshop; diegetic or no? Is there more? Probably!

Finally, "G" indicates the passage to the decommissioned Halcyon, which brought its own music to the Star Wars galaxy: the Galactic Starcruiser soundtrack gave us six tracks by Gaya (performed by Grammy-winner Judith Hill) and tracks from five other artists.

Three of those tracks (Marketplace, Marketplace Hora, and Mischievous) were included in the Sims expansion I mentioned. Hodges has made excerpts of six more tracks available on his website (www.harlanhodges.com/hhnews/the-m...), and last week I heard half a dozen more that were all-new to me.

"F" is Docking Bay 7, which plays percussive ambient music by Harlan Hodges and Randy Kerber inside and out. Sitting on that patio one evening in 2022, listening to weird alien tunes that were both made for me and not made for me, sparked my interest in diegetic Star Wars music.

"E" marks the radio in Hondo's machine shop, which I just became aware of on this trip (and isn't always on). Since it's in the Smugglers Run queue, it's hard to linger, but I don't *think* it's the same loop as BSO 401.72. I caught one uncatalogued track, plus Jedi Rocks.
