Due to John Williams' age, The Rise of Skywalker will almost certainly be the last Star Wars movie he will be composing music for. However, there have been other composers, especially in recent years, such as Michael Giacchino, John Powell, Kevin Kiner, Gordy Haab, Ludwig Goransson, and even Joe McNeeley, who have taken over musical composition duties for other Star Wars content. They have all aptly demonstrated that they can bring their own signature styles to the galaxy far, far away in ways that are both new and familiar. In this article, I intend to talk about what I feel are the best themes in the two standalone films, Rogue One and Solo, as well as some noteworthy pieces from other Star Wars content through the years.

The mad clone of a Jedi Master, created by Palpatine to serve the Empire, Joruus C'baoth serves as a secondary antagonist in Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy, a cornerstone of the Expanded Universe. The cloned Joruus is a powerful Force-user, wielding Force Lightning against his foes and conjuring barriers with the Force strong enough to deflect fire from an X-Wing. C'baoth is also gifted in battle meditation, telepathically sending orders from Thrawn to the rest of his fleet and improving the morale and efficiency of the Imperials in combat. While fans of Legends content will be familiar with Joruus C'baoth, those who haven't picked up a copy of Heir to the Empire may not be familiar with the mad clone.

One of the greatest aspects of the Star Wars franchise is its ability to deliver stories across various different outlets, not just in the form of movies. We've had many books focusing on some of our beloved characters, as well as TV shows and comics. This helps make it appeal to all sorts of fans. Lately, Marvel have had huge success with their comics focusing on the galaxy far, far away with one (simply titled Star Wars) focusing on the time between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. During this series, we are introduced to a deadly character in the form of Commander Zahra, who almost successfully manages to kill Leia and alter the story as we know it.

Aviation tourism has taken on a new dimension since the flight of the first astronaut, American businessman Dennis Tito, on April 28, 2001, when opportunities for marital or tourism became available. Many space tourism companies are planning to build underground cars and space cities in the next two decades, invest millions, and believe that the limited tourism industry is on the verge of promotion. Criticism has intensified when Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos told reporters Tuesday on his first trip to space that Amazon customers and employees would pay for his flight.

Lightsabers were probably the first Star Wars toys. Although these ”toys” were usually either broomsticks or plastic pipes, which were used by the kids in the late '70s to reenact the duel between Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi in their backyards. Today, there are countless lightsaber toys and replicas for sale, including many cheap rip-offs with “creative” names like “Galaxy Sword” or “Force Saber.”

Things were bleak in the galaxy far, far away. Trillions of denizens were subjugated under the iron fist of the Galactic Empire, and the situation did not seem to be getting any better. The Empire had one more nightmarish trick up their sleeve. The Death Star, codenamed DS-1 Orbital Battle station, would be the culmination of Imperial might in the galaxy.

Star Wars has definitely had its ups and downs throughout the years, and opinions on the series seem to change with the seasons. However, we are currently living in a boon of Star Wars content. Things like The Clone Wars Season 7, The Bad Batch, and of course, The Mandalorian have each been fan favorites and one of the driving forces for Disney+. With shows like The Book of Boba Fett and the Obi-Wan series on the horizon and Star Wars: Visions having just been released, Star Wars fans have a lot to enjoy and look forward to. That being said, there have been concerns from fans about an over-saturation of Star Wars content. This was a concern several years ago when the Sequel Trilogy was in full swing, and Marvel has gone through similar concerns with the amount of content they put out each year. Lucasfilm Vice President, James Waugh recently spoke about Star Wars: Visions, keeping Star Wars special, and what is in store for the future of the franchise.
