Listen: A Classic ‘Star Wars’ Song Was Remixed For The Galaxy’s Edge Soundtrack
If I were to ask you to tell me the first piece of music you think of when you think aboutStar Wars, there may be a half a dozen John Williams cues that would be fighting for the top spot. But when it comes to in-world music from theStar Warsgalaxy, there isn’t nearly as much to dig into.
The most famous track has to be the song playing when Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi first enter the Mos Eisley cantina, and now that song has gotten a remixed version that’s playing in Oga’s Cantina at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The theme park land’s soundtrack will be available tomorrow, but you can listen to the remixed version of your favorite cantina jam below right now.
Galaxy’s Edge Soundtrack: Mad About Mad About Me
As far as in-world music in theStar Warsfranchise goes, a brief song can be heard in Maz Kanata’s place inThe Force Awakens, there are a couple of tracks from Jabba’s palace inReturn of the Jedi(all hail Sy Snootles and the Max Rebo Band), and Williams' memorable “Imperial March” was used as a propaganda anthem for the Empire inSolo: A Star Wars Story. But none of those songs can possibly compete with Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes’jizzbanger (yes, it’s actually called that) known as “Mad About Me,” that ultra-catchy tune that’s seared its way into the heads of everyone who’s ever heard it.
Visitors to Galaxy’s Edge may have heard DJ R-3X spinning this track in person at Oga’s, along withother fascinating in-world audio, like Wookiee shampoo commercials and commentary on a holochess game playing over the speakers in the park. But for those who haven’t had a chance to venture to Disneyland or Disney World since Galaxy’s Edge opened, you’ll be able to hear this song and 17 others onStar Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – Oga’s Cantina: R-3X’s Playlist #1, which drops onSeptember 6, 2019.
