John Williams’s epic score does a lot to make Star Wars what it is, and that’s no different with the most recent addition to the franchise, The Last Jedi. Director Rian Johnson even shared a video of Williams doing his thing, but what would the movie be like with some … different musical stylings? The perfect Friday Twitter thread has us covered.
Shortly after the movie came out, the Mary Sue staff shared amongst ourselves a video that added “Immigrant Song,” utilized so perfectly for Thor: Ragnarok, to the throne room battle sequence between Rey, Kylo Ren, and Supreme Leader Snoke’s Praetorian Guard. It was pulled from the internet shortly thereafter, but these new versions of the same scene with some pop culture flavor are just as fun:

Those are the only ones to include the entire fight, due to practicality for @rachlikesbands, but there are still some really entertaining partial entries:

If these don’t quite do it for you, there’s plenty more in the extensive Twitter thread. Now you’re all set to enjoy the weekend properly.
