I just realized that both The Last Jedi and Solo use the same music from the original TIE Fighter attack on the Falcon scene in ANH during exciting scenes of the Falcon flying. I realize this is not the first time that music has been reused (Im quite sure it plays at some point during the space battle in ROTJ), but it still kinda feels like a cheat.

I mean, I’ll be the first to admit that it totally works for me. I don’t think it’s possible for me to not get a spike of adrenaline when that music cues up. But I can’t help but feel like it’s a bit of a cheap move playing on my nostalgia when we know that Williams and Powell are both capable of writing new material that elicits similar feelings (just listen to the music that plays during the Falcon’s escape from Jakku during TFA).
