Exploring diegetic music — music the characters hear and make — from a galaxy far far away, in movies, TV shows, video games, and theme parks. I'm @jere7my.

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.)

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.

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.

I believe three tracks from BSO 401.72 have escaped into the world, in the Sims "Journey to Batuu" expansion: Galma by Guy Mazig, Gaya by Yossi Cohen & Avishay Goren, and Ti Lo Laka by Beckerman Green & Douek. You can find them online with some digging. I've heard others at GE.

"C" is the bazaar, where Black Spire Outpost Radio BSO 401.72 plays a mix of sports, pop music, ads, and commentary from R3X and Palob Godalhi. It also plays in the restrooms near the Droid Depot ("D"); I assume it's the same loop, but limited bathroom time makes it hard to tell!
