J.J. Abrams Wrote Star Wars Cantina Band Music with Lin-Manuel Miranda

[@Chloe.Allen13]

When ever people talk about Lin its like "Bright young man!" "YO, who da f is this?!"

[@chinesemimi]

+Chloe Allen what

[@amayamack1610]

Hamilreference

[@chinesemimi]

yeah i know the song now

[@idkagoodnamewithalastname5622]

That’s from my favorite song in Hamilton

[@inedibledorito]

"I'll drop everything!" HA! ^ that guy :'D

[@gotskinn]

everything, everyday ShawDay

[@Deathstarke]

That's perfect haha xD

[@CC-qy7vj]

+Lovely Lady Lums He's not throwing away his shot.

[@baltimoreravensfan]

I wanna be in the cantina where it where cantina where it happen cantina where it happen

[@fallontonight]

+Ramon Williams You did not throw away your commenting shot.

[@baltimoreravensfan]

+The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show KZbin Team, you get the job done.

[@rae9196]

+Ramon Williams Man, these puns are non-STOP

[@fallontonight]

+Ramon Williams The fact we're all online is a miracle. Just stay online, that would be enough.

[@rae9196]

It must be nice, it must be nice to have Fallon on your side.

[@baltimoreravensfan]

Man Lin Manuel Miranda is really... Non - Stop Sorry I've listen to Hamilton soundtrack for days

[@SandyCheeks1896]

Jimmy throwing that Jedi mind trick gesture right at the beginning.

[@eipablo]

J.J. Baby = J.J.B = Jar Jar Binks, Confirmed?

[@xxwantedxx]

+Oskars S. fuck off with your unoriginal jokes.

[@leahsiemens1424]

Hahaha nooooooooooo!!!! 😁

[@bassdoessmash128]

+Georgemmac Go fuck yourself with your negative ass attitude.

[@davidbc5023]

+Oskars S. It wasn't really funny two years ago, when the joke was somewhat fresh.

[@diegom-a7970]

:o

[@ARBLACKx]

If J.J screws up this movie he will forever be known as Jar Jar Abrams

[@NUMBA1BansheeFan]

+ablurt_55 how original

[@gammel_69]

+The Thingy Yeah, i think i never heard this joke -.-

[@metalwarrior6668]

+Zero Cool Jar jar binks

[@flamesofmordor]

+ablurt_55 Shut the fuck up!

[@SNO3R]

+Dirk Borislav r u serious?

[@Yeti974]

Lin Manuel Miranda is a genius, J'J is another jenius, so combine that & you know what can you expect from the Star Wars cantina music. I think Lin- Manuel is a complete genius for creating such a excellent musical & album. And the best is that he is from Puerto Rico.

[@stegwise]

Roots confirmed as Star Wars VII cantina band. #JediMindTricks

[@rubberducky4074]

+Withstand These are not the Roots you're looking for.

[@laurenredding1419]

and so #force4ham was born, the greatest crossover joke of the generation

[@Legoman123459876]

The fact that a Broadway show is getting this much love sends hope through my soul. Star Wars is my ultimate film and story obsession and it is so unbelievably cool that it was linked in some way to a musical. Plus seeing all these comments quoting the show is pretty amazing!

[@taylorewalters]

MANNNNNNNN, THE MAN IS NON STOP.

[@ahmedsirour]

And thus why interviews flow better when Jimmy doesn't know the stories beforehand lol (yes, I'm sequeling my commentary from the previous video). As I said, I like Jimmy, but his enthusiasm sometimes takes away from the spontaneity that should be a guest telling a story, unless it involves both people, of course ;)

[@nataliealvarado6155]

Goddamn Lin is truly non stop!!!

[@zacksweet17]

The funny thing is that The Roots are actually credited in Star Wars Episode III

[@nuggetofnerdiness]

Wait, are you serious? What did they do?

[@zacksweet17]

+Steve Zissou There's an Easter egg in the DVD menu that leads to this extra scene with Yoda dancing and they performed the song Yoda danced to.

[@Sophie8156]

I love seeing Jimmy fangirl over Lin-Manuel.

[@Crapweeds]

Quest would be an awesome Jedi.

[@levmccor54]

Nothing will top the original cantina band song. Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes all the way

[@Aggarius]

Truth

[@Nehaa18]

Damn, all the old geezers who saw the original trilogy in theaters need to be more open-minded. It's cause of people like you that this movie will likely be a rehash of A New Hope

[@godoycarolina79]

+Aamna M its because people like you that we have shitty remakes and reboots

[@zainm5919]

+LDMc well nostalgia man. That original cantina song will never be better(even if it's absouloutley amazing) for you or many others like me because we are biased, and there is a nostalgia factor. I know I'm most likely going to love this cantina song, but my nostalgia might make me gravitate towards the original no matter what.

[@stupidburp]

+Aamna M Original trilogy music was just better. Compare Lapti Nek with Jedi Rock's in RotJ. Over the top CGI and camp does not help but the music itself is also less inspired when compared to the original.

[@sambelding9598]

Omg I'm a Star Wars and musical theatre dork- and I had no idea that Lin Manuel Miranda wrote that! This is so cool!

[@vanessajohn560]

Star Wars just got 80% better

[@justnickmonty]

Of course because of the technology we have today it has made it better but we can't hate on Star Wars back then since the technology hey had was a prototype of what we have today

[@niamh8877]

i love that jimmy is just such a fan of lin manuel miranda once he's mentoined in the conversation jimmy just leans in more haha

[@yung_broccolini]

JJ is a really great storyteller

[@Leos-Bones70]

WHAT IF HE WINS THE BEST ORIGINAL SONG IN A MOVIE OSCAR THO #LinManuelEGOT - I mean he's going to get it for Moana anyway but this would be a year sooner!

[@artsy_artist1323]

I love Hamilton and Lin-Manuel Miranda! Does this guy do everything?!

[@MarkMash17]

J.J. baby....

[@baltimoreravensfan]

Han Solo: Im not throwing away my shot, Greedo

[@ramonparelladamartin4877]

Abrams claims: Lin Manuel was on R. Rodgers theater one day in distress and disarray Abrams claims: Lin Manuel said, "I've nowhere else to turn" And basically begged me to write the song Abrams claims: I approached Lucas and said "I know you hate him but let's hear what he has to write" Abrams claims: Well, I arranged the movie I arranged the effects, the scrip and the music.

[@ClintonJudy]

This is the clip they were talking about. AMAZING if you haven't seen it! www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/video/wheel-of-freestyle-with-linmanuel-miranda-from-hamilton/2933370

I was annoyed that it wasn't on the OST

[@Andythespacekid]

[@bettyjojoeharperre-imagina7322]

It was released as a single on I tunes if you still want it, it's called "Jaba flow".

[@nothingreally6680]

You can tell he has a lot of things on his mind, cause he speaks so quickly.

[@RebeccaEvans1]

I cannot wait for this movie to come out!!! Ahh!!

[@bellejuciey]

"We did our own version of the cantina" no, you did your own version of a new hope!

[@GYPRODOGO]

[@sarahmally7435]

[@austinbeebe5146]

The song is Jabba Flow, but I can't find it anywhere. It's such a great song and I really want it.

Some of The Roots were in Star Wars, Han Frolo was a great character, how did everyone else miss him?

[@jr52990]

[@slyrobot9358]

CAN ANYONE find this track for the new cantina band????

[@mandomediagaming]

+SlyRobot leaving a comment in hope someone found it :D

[@nickrobinson8308]

I need it too. It's so catchy

[@ZeroClarkThirty]

I haven't found it yet.

[@mandomediagaming]

[@samscholes9727]

+InglebertHumperdink1 you couldn't be more wrong the two new cantina songs last several minutes

[@osirisruiz492]

he looks like a young harrison wells from the flash series

Is it just me? Or does it seem like jimmy was trying way too hard to look interested in jj's story.

[@AllegedlySpiffy]

+Dr. Strangelove He acts that way with everyone.

[@Kanglar]

JJ is the real life Leonard from BBT

[@warbabyfox117]

Jimmy you dont need to be in star wars, you were in jurassic world

how shocked jimmy was, thinking the roots were in star wars lol

[@bessithor1571]

J. J. reminds me of George Costanza.

[@gwenmae5383]

Yes

[@traestutzman4998]

Good Vid!!

[@wee_joe]

What's the song called, I loved it

[@tonytheninja9783]

That Jar Jar Sith theory is driving me insane right now.

[@johnnyc5825]

wait what theory

[@tonytheninja9783]

SP TWD The theory from reddit. www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/3qvj6w/theory_jar_jar_binks_was_a_trained_force_user?sort=new it has me going through every jar jar scene in phantom menace. Theres a scene where Qui Gon is betting for Anakin's freedom and their blinks and head movements are almost synced. What if he's controlling Qui Gon!

[@johnnyc5825]

TonyTheNinja Dude that's a crazy theory. I slightly wish that this will make it into The Force Awakens

[@sneezer7972]

How can I hear the new cantina music besides from in the movie

[@whatdoyousuppose]

Where can we get the track? It's not on the OST for The Force Awakens :(

[@jinzo3159]

*spoilers* I like how jj abrams fits in as much pepl as he can into his films did any1 notice c3p0s red hand? that was a nod to kojima I believe for metal gear solid 5, and supposedly the stormtrooper who let's rey go was the actor from James Bond forgot his name, but abrams is a lad

[@ObiWineKenobi]

JJ was referring to John Williams on Jimmy Fallon's show? I looked and couldn't find it. Then I thought he meant SNL but couldn't find that either.

[@twmcgraw3035]

+Shane Whitehouse I think he was referring to Lin-Manuel Miranda being on the show, not John Williams.

[@sweetsandcakes]

+Shane Whitehouse No, he was referring to Lin-Manuel Miranda on Jimmy Fallon a couple weeks ago. He did a freestyle rap!

[@ObiWineKenobi]

+twmcgraw303 oh ok thanks.

[@ObiWineKenobi]

+sweetsandcakes ill have to check it out! thanks.

[@devonsteinke]

I'm looking all over too. Send me a link if you find it. I'll do the same if I do first.

[@aaronglandon00]

[@dianadeng9240]

[@feret1993]

The roots are the new cantina band

[@captainviggo4575]

Between the Death Star wannabe on the poster, the evil sith with a mask, etc, and now this cantina scene he's talking about, I sooooooooo hope that the movie will not be a complete rehash of the original trilogy... I so hope this will not be another Jurassic World/Terminator Genysis... Guess I'll get the answer tomorrow.

[@benjaminreynolds6677]

Ok but where could I actually find the new cantina song and listen to it

[@lubicrous]

I liked the movie, however the cantina scene was my least favourite because of the constant camera movement. Although I certainly hope the framey-ness doesn't come across in 2D, in 3D it meant the screen was a blur the entire cantina sweep. Thus, I didn't get a good idea of the cantina and really noticed it when the remaining talking scenes with Maz had no cantina in the background.

[@somechicknamedhan3091]
