Cantina Sounds: Star Wars source music
@cantinasounds.bsky.social
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.bsky.social. Spreadsheet of 500+ Star Wars diegetic tracks: bit.ly/cantinasounds
Oh mighty Jabba, let us celebrate your glorious birthday on day 202 of #TheDiegeticShuffle with some galactic funk from Roberto Prado! Max Rebo, Sy Snootles, and Droopy McCool played "Jabba's Birthday Party" in LEGO Star Wars: Summer Vacation.

We visit a Tatooine mod parlour on day 201 of #TheDiegeticShuffle for a few different flavors of techno. "The Mod Parlour" was written by Joseph Shirley and Ludwig Göransson, and features Thundercat (aka Stephen Bruner, theamazingthundercat.com, who plays the Modifier) on bass.

We mark day 200 of #TheDiegeticShuffle with a subtle reggae beat in Aunt Z's from season 2 of Resistance. This is another Michael Tavera cue.

Unfortunately the only Resistance source cue listed on GEMA is called (drum roll) "Source", so there's not much more we can say.

I don't know what direction Patrick Gleeson was given for this cue, but I am guessing it was something like "give me a tune that sounds like it's being played badly by baby Ewoks." We're enjoying (?) "Wokling Band" from the Ewoks series finale on day 199 of #TheDiegeticShuffle.

Does anyone know anything about this slow swing number that plays in the Holiday Special while Krelman is flirting with Ackmena? It's presumably by Ian Fraser, but I never noticed it before or heard anything about it. Does it have a name?

A soft bossa nova plays in the Aces' Lounge on the Colossus, letting the audience know it's a more upscale joint than Aunt Z's. "Lounge Source" is another Michael Tavera cue, and it's what we're chilling to on day 198 of #TheDiegeticShuffle.

We have another lost source cue from RotJ for day 197 of #TheDiegeticShuffle, which sounds very much like the lost source cue we heard on day 179, "Galactic Dance Blast", but in a different key with different instrumentation. "Jabba Sail Barge Source" was lost at the same time.

A week ago, we heard "Hutt Clubbin" by Matthew St. Laurent from season 3 of the Clone Wars; today, for day 195 of #TheDiegeticShuffle, he gives us "In Da Club" from the season 2 finale. Ahsoka and Plo Koon explore the depths of Coruscant and uncover a hot techno mix.

It's a zero-gee dance party on day 194 of #TheDiegeticShuffle, and Michael Tavera once again provides the tunes for Aunt Z's in the season 2 premiere of Resistance. This time it's some background EDM.

BSO Radio has about half a dozen commercial jingles (which I have been dutifully cataloguing), and you can hear two of them quite well in this video from D23 2019: "Sleek and Chic Kashykkk" and "Tugg's Grub" (music by Yaron Spiwak, introduced by John "JK" Kessler & Matt Walker).

Obi-Wan and Quinlan Vos travel to Nal Hutta on day 188 of #TheDiegeticShuffle and encounter one of my favorite cue names: "Hutt Clubbin" by Matthew St. Laurent, an ominous, bass-heavy house mix served up by DJ Rangthang, a four-armed Vonomi DJ. The episode is "Hunt for Ziro".

I think I could spend the rest of my life cataloguing the diegetic music of Galaxy's Edge and the Starcruiser, because I keep discovering new things I didn't know about. Here's a brief band rehearsal from a teenage Wookiee and Sandperson, heard from the bazaar apartments.

On day 187 of #TheDiegeticShuffle, "WE BEGIN". Nicholas Britell composed this minimalist percussive piece, with which the Time Grappler signals the start of the working day on Ferrix by striking a beskar bell with hammers.

We're stopping off on Numidian Prime for a quick game of sabacc on day 185 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. "Lando's Jungle Room" (aka cue 7M46S, the 46th cue of reel 7) by John Powell is the samba Lando was listening to when Han Solo challenged him for the Millennium Falcon.
