Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. There's a lot of cool Star Wars things making debuts today, like Gentle Giant mini-busts and old rumor confirmations, but for my money the best surprise was the release of Lin Manuel Miranda's cantina music from Maz's Castle in The Force Awakens.
First there was a video released of Mr. Miranda in front of the Hamilton theater singing the song with a very special guest and then the announcement that you, too, can listen to the full song and even buy it if you feel the need.
Here's the video:
I love hearing how the song came together and finding out that it was actually sung in Huttese. Nerds! I love it.
The song was mysteriously absent from the official soundtrack, but that problem is fixed now. You can buy it off iTunes for .99or, if you just want to stream it over and over and over again today you can click on Maz's band below and go to StarWars.com where it's available to please your earholes!
Happy Star Wars day, fellow geeks!
