The music I was gonna use for the intro, was the unused opening for The Empire Strikes Back, part of the opening music from A New Hope, and part of the Asteroid field music from The Empire Strikes Back. It’ll be a mix of the three. Trust me, you’ll like it.

Here’s the first part of the song:

1:26 to 2:29

Second part of the song:

2:18 to 2:40

Third part of the song:
https://youtu.be/vVulaCFNL4A?t=3m42s
3:42 to 3:55

Fourth part of the song:
https://youtu.be/vVulaCFNL4A?t=14s
0:14 to 0:40

Fifth part of the song:
https://youtu.be/vVulaCFNL4A?t=1m40s
1:40 to 2:03

In theory it could work but it can also feel disjointed but I can’t render judgement until I actually hear it while watching the fanedit

My soundtrack overhaul is a mix and match of all the music from all six films.

PT music is a must but I think you should at least keep Rey’s Theme. It’s important to have her theme be distinct seeing as how she’s our main protagonist.

I’m actually adding that immolation music from ROTS to the scene where Han confronts Kylo. I have to do it.

You should cue the song right after Kylo stabs Han because it won’t really sync up if you don’t.

Oh… honestly, I was just going to replace Kylo’s theme with the march that plays when the Emperor arrives in Return of the Jedi.

That could work though the way they both step from the shuttles is certainly different which creates a disconnect. The music is somber in ROTJ whereas the cue in TFA when Kylo arrives is frantic and this is due to their mannerisms. Even my suggestion of using 4:18 from Separatist Droid Invasion March doesn’t fit the scene adequately enough if you shoehorn it into TFA.
