Jj Abrams Wrote Star Wars Music With Hamilton Creator Lin-manuel Miranda

But what’s wonderful is that the movie we just did is about 40 years after “Star Wars: A New Hope”…

We’ve said that Hamilton maestro Lin-Manuel Miranda has too much on his mind, but does the man listen to us? I remember standing with my dad in line at the mall for two, three hours to see it on opening day, and it was incredible being a little boy in the seventies and early eighties when these movies were coming out. Abrams is harkening back to in Episode VII; last night on Jimmy Fallon, he revealed there would be a new cantina scene with brand new music. Though not widely known at the time, there is a cantina scene in the upcoming film and Star Wars composer John Williams had already told Abrams he’d prefer not to handle a new cantina theme.

“Star Wars” mania is at a fever pitch this holiday season, as fans gear up for the release of ” a href=”http://www.moviefone.com/movie/star-wars-the-force-awakens/10118651/main” The Force Awakens /a “.

It is interesting to see this character go missing especially since Hamill’s presence was so hyped when he was first announced as part of the cast. Defending his stance, Abrams says, “Here’s the thing …”

Simon previously played it coy over rumours he would be appearing in the seventh Star Wars instalment, telling Vulture: “JJ uses me in different roles, and we’re good friends”. For now fans only have to wait less than month to finally see how the journey unfolds. Thus, the marketing machine continues to ramp up, with TV spots dropping all over the place, and tiny new details sneaking out of J.J. Abrams’ Mystery Box, though nothing that could yet be called a spoiler, as such.

In an interview on “Sirius XM” radio’s “The Howard Stern Show”, he revealed: “When Kathy Kennedy (Lucasfilm President) and I started talking about these characters, the idea that Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, this is 40 years ago”.
