We’re continuing our intermittent bonus episode series on the music of Star Wars this week! This is the second part of our discussion on the music of The Empire Strikes Back, The Last Jedi, and Rogue One. We and returning special guest Miranda talk about how Michael Giacchino picks up John Williams’s mantle in Rogue One and why John Williams is a pivotal figure in the franchise. We’re also answering your social media questions!

This podcast is NOT spoiler-free.
