Luke and Leia reunite, and their musical themes pull at our heartstrings. Camila, also known as BoricuaWookiee, is here with me to navigate through these emotional minutes (126-130) of The Last Jedi.

Discussion topics/Highlights:

  • Is Finn's impending sacrifice selfish? Thoughts on his role and actions in the Resistance.
  • Dies Irae when Finn is about to sacrifice himself.
  • Leia's uncharacteristic loss of hope, which only Luke can reignite.
  • The smooth progression of themes, from Force --> Luke & Leia --> Han & Leia
  • The melodic and harmonic connections between all of Leia's three themes.
  • Is the beginning of the Star Wars Main Theme outlined at the beginning of Luke & Leia's theme? (Both begin with a perfect 4th to perfect 5th)
  • Does Leia know that Luke is a Force projection?
  • How our Star Wars feelings/opinions are constantly adjusting based on new information and more conversations.
  • "Luke & Leia" reminiscent of "Make Our Garden Grow" from Leonard Bernstein's Candide (operetta).
  • Rose as a future Resistance leader.
  • Leia, the bedrock of Star Wars. The rock of the Rebellion. The rock of the Skywalker family.
  • The repetitive F minor chord that makes us feel like we're waiting for something to happen.

Themes Referenced (in order of appearance):

  • 13) Dies Irae
  • 55a. Rose (A Section) in Db
  • 3. Force in Em
  • 21. Luke & Leia in E
  • 11a. Han & Leia (A Section) in F
  • 103) Luke's Last Stand in Fm

Where we are in the soundtrack: "Battle of Crait" and "The Spark"
