A lot of Star Wars characters have a little theme that can be played or referenced when they appear on screen or tragically die, like Darth Vader with âThe Imperial March,â Luke Skywalker with âThe Force Theme/Binary Sunset,â and Leia with the aptly named âPrincess Leiaâs Theme,â but other than âHan Solo And The Princessâ from The Empire Strikes Back, composer John Williams hasnât really given Han Solo a theme song to call his own. Thatâs going to change for Ron Howardâs Solo: A Star Wars Story, which is finally giving Han a song just a few years after the character was killed off in The Force Awakens.
This comes from Variety, which notes that the rest of the score is coming from How To Train Your Dragonâs John Powell. Solo will only be the second Star Wars movie to not feature a score from Williams, with the other being last yearâs Rogue Oneâwhich ended up having a composing hiccup that required Michael Giacchino to write the whole thing in about four weeks.
