^I agree with all of your TFA standouts, but I’ve got a few more that I tend not to skip.

“Attack on the Jakku Village” - I’m not overfond of the track as a whole, but the moment when Kylo Ren’s motif first kicks in makes it worthwhile.

“I Can Fly Anything” - I like this one mostly because of the strong visual associations I have with the TIE escape scene.

“The Abduction” - Rey’s theme coming in at the end was one of my favorite musical moments in the film.

“Han & Leia” - The love theme from ESB might be my favorite piece of Star Wars music overall, so I’m a sucker for any time it shows up on the TFA soundtrack.

“March of the Resistance” - I actually like this one because it’s reminiscent of Indy. It’s also got some of the most sophisticated orchestration I’ve ever heard from Williams; the bit in the middle with the staggered strings, horns and flutes gives me a really strong and very welcome Beethoven vibe.
