The Oscar winning composer reveals that one sequence in the film, when Luke Skywalker raises his X-Wing from the waters of Ahch-To, uses the same music that Williams wrote for The Empire Strikes Back when Yoda does the exact same thing on Dagobah, but originally, J.J. Abrams wasn’t sold on that particular decision.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is now available in digital storefronts and with it comes a host of interesting extras, including a lot from the man who wrote the music for all nine films, John Williams.
