soundtrack for events/characters not in the films

[atamascolily]

I was thinking today about what music might be appropriate for characters and events not shown in the films. Obviously, we can't have John Williams write us an opera based on the Thrawn trilogy--though it would be awesome--and distinctive leitmotifs would carry over, but I'm curious what music and songs people imagine to fill the void. Any ideas?

(AKA I want an excuse to listen to music I haven't heard before through the lens of my Star Wars obsession.)

On the plus side, you're making me much more excited about the TLJ soundtrack than I was after seeing the film!

I really like Rey's theme listening to it straight - I don't know what you have planned for it in your playlist, but I could imagine it as Mara's character theme. I found someone on YouTube who had synced it with Luke's theme, and it worked surprisingly well together.

It's the theme for a new character connected with Mara and Luke, an OC. I haven't found which track is just Mara yet. This story features the results of a different backstory for Mara, in which her and Luke met much earlier in the timeline. So anything with Imperial flourishes isn't working for me where I'm writing right now (the Myrkr hike). Maybe when we get further into Act 2 and she's confessing to her Imperial past.
