And now for something completely different...

First of all, Rey's theme (well, a medley), which is one of my favourite things about the new movie.

And then... Well, I'm putting the whole thing under a cut. Technically there are no spoilers, but it's much much funnier if you've seen The Force Awakens. (with thanks to petzipellepingo)

Saturday Night Live: Star Wars Undercover Boss: Starkiller Base

I have NO WORDS. Especially love how perfectly it fits in with Emo Kylo Ren. (His Twitter, in case you haven't come across it before. As with the video above - NO LIQUIDS NEAR KEYBOARD.) Example:

dear diary this one idiot ewok tripped and got a bucket stuck on his head uncle lando goes "look, ben! it's you!" he is the literal worst

Thanks for the theme link, I like it too. It sounds kind of Andean at the start and then like ballet, then it becomes more adventure themed and moves into big sweeping sounds -- it echoes her journey.

Agreed, they really nailed it with that skit, though it was elaborate enough to be more like a film extra.

If you go to the youtube page, it breaks down the different parts. And I loved watching the movie the second time, being able to pick out the theme(s) every time they appeared. :)

The comment above links to the out takes, which add lots of extra touches! And yes, could be a film extra - it's a great idea for a villain.
