Solo: A Star Wars Story Soundtrack 2xCD John Williams John Powell:

 Solo: A Star Wars Story, theme and original Star Wars music by John Williams and featuring an action-packed, massive score by John Powell that perfectly captures the epic scope of the Star Wars universe. While a CD was released at the time of the film's initial appearance in theaters, it was a single disc of highlights. Some time later, a digital-only release made an appearance featuring a greatly expanded program. Fans clamored for a CD release of this deluxe program and Intrada presents, at last, the complete album, including John Williams' theme for Han Solo, "The Adventures of Han."  While John Williams' Star Wars scores are rich in themes for characters and settings, strangely Solo was the only character that didn't have his own theme. Not until this origin story of sorts came about and Williams was finally able to craft a theme for the cunning and complex character. And it fits him perfectly. Powell's lengthy score is a stunning work in its own right, with a beautiful romantic theme, exhilarating action sequences (including chorus at times), and an overall sense of adventure, rollicking and fun you'd expect from a chapter in this renowned science fantasy series.

This  2-CD package has a running time of over two hours and includes a plethora of artwork, all-new liner notes including an in-depth interview with John Powell, and a special slip case to house the jewel case. This handsome package would not have been possible without the generous cooperation of the folks at Lucasfilm and Disney.

Directed by Ron Howard, the film chronicles Han Solo's earlier years, from his escape from a local gang on the planet Corellia, early yet ill-fated romance, his meeting and partnership with Chewbacca, and his acquisition of the beloved piece of junk, the Millennium Falcon.  Eventually Solo finds himself in the middle of a heist for hyperfuel alongside other criminals where it's never clear who he can trust and who he can't. Despite betrayals on all sides, he eventually comes out to see another day with his trusty new ship and Wookie companion.
