When it came time to writing a cantina song for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, John Williams bowed out (been there, done that) and left the writing duties up to J.J. Abrams. As it happens, Abrams had just seen Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton, and hit up the artist to see if he would like to collaborate on the song you'd hear during the visit to Maz Kanata's castle. They did just that, and now you can download the full song on iTunes HERE or listen to it on StarWars.com HERE! In the meantime, check out a video performance of everyone's favorite intergalactic hit, 'Jabba Flow'!
