The Force Awakens’ will feature music from J.J. Abrams and Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda

The big news out of J.J. Abrams’ appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon was that he collaborated with Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda on the music for The Force Awakens’ Cantina equivalent. (Maz Kanata’s place, no doubt.)

Hamilton probably needs no introduction (but here’s one from PBS,) since it’s the rare Broadway show that the internet can’t shut up about. You can listen to the original cast recording on Spotify.

Miranda confirmed, in case anyone doubts Abrams:

We did. Worked on it between 6pm & 7:30 on 2 show days for the past 2 months. JJ is the best. Can't wait to see. https://t.co/pPYu8nRsxI

EXCELLENT. I can hold on to my hope of hearing someone rap about “Here comes the general/ladies and gentlemen/Here comes the general/the moment you’ve been waiting for/here comes the general/the pride of Alderaan/here comes the general/Leia Organa!”
