What is the best Star Wars song, from any material, canon or not? I say Vode An, but Duel of the Fates is a close second.

I like the Imperial Anthem (its the variation of the March that I like best, though the other variations are great too). Battle of the Heroes is my favorite from the Prequels, though I have a soft spot for Kylo's Theme too. Apart from that, the Battle of Christophsis and, uh, the Sith-Inator.

Duel of Fates, Battle of the Heroes, Anakin's Betrayal, Luke's Theme/Binary Sunset, a bunch of songs from TCW season 7.

The Sequel Trilogy has had pretty lackluster music. (Did like their remake of the Main Title Theme though)

A question I've asked on multiple other platforms before, but what would you consider a "Good" ending AU for the Prequels? Like. How would it have to end for you to consider a "good ending"? I myself would consider any ending good if it included Obi-Wan getting tried for committing war crimes in both Mandalore and the CIS and getting executed.

Prequel Trilogy: Duel of the Fates
Original Trilogy: Imperial March then Binary Sunset
Sequel Trilogy: March of the Resistance and Kylo Rens Theme.

I also quite like Rogue Ones sound track, it has some really good pieces such as the music in the Darth Vader scene. Solo has nothing special.

Non movie sound tracks: Vode An is always good, but Fallen Order and KOTOR have some really good tracks. This bad boy in particular

Duel of the Fates and Binary Sunset are my favorites from the pre-Disney era. I wasn't too big of a fan of much from the sequel trilogy. The majority of the OT and PT songs are higher on my list than anything from the sequels.

TCW also had some great music.

Another good question;

What us your favourite non-speaking/minor character?

Or

What is your favourite species of alien, or creature?

For myself, non-speaking roles, there are a few. A lot of the Jedi in the Prequels were pretty epic, like Shaak Ti, Kit Fisto, et cetera. The Original Trilogy, I would have to go with Admiral Piett. He spoke, but I still consider him a very minor character, and an excellent one at that. The Sequel trilogy really could have done a service to itself if it ever really explained who the hell the Knights of Ren were.

As for species, I gotta go with Togrutans here, or Acklay's if we wanna talk creatures. The Acklays in the 2005 Battlefront 2 will forever haunt my childhood.

Oh yeah, the Knights of Ren are a thing. God they were so fucking wasted.

As for nonspeaking characters, Rook Kast was pretty cool. And my favorite alien species is whatever Pong Krell was, mainly for the whole four arms thing.

That first question is one I’ll have to think about, but one non-speaking character I remember is that red guy Finn almost went with on Takodana in VII. Really cool looking for such a minor character.

Favorite species is humanity, you xeno lovers.

If they count, the B-1 Battledroids. They speak, but they aren't generally considered "important" so. I really wish someone would write a crack-taken-seriously of a B-1 Battledroid. Like. Multichapter.

About species... Lasat are pretty cool. They're like Wookiees but actually sentient more beastlike. Though Tapal is a douche and Zeb is... a bit questionable at times. Also Twi'leks, but because Hera Syndula (and Aayla Secura in TCW, aka one of the 5 Jedi I wish had managed to survive instead of Quinlan fucking Vos and Obi-Wan fucking Kenobi)

Wedge is my favorite minor character, mostly because of how he was fleshed out in the EU books.

As for species, it has to be wookies.

In the Original Trilogy, he was an piece of shit that tried to emotionally manipulate Luke into committing patricide because he couldn't -or wouldn't- do it on his own like, 18 years earlier. In the Prequel Trilogy, he was pretty much the exact characterless, stupid and poorly-designed Mary Sue that some people keep accusing Rey of being. In The Clone Wars he was a War Criminal of the Highest Order. There's virtually nothing about this character for me not to abhor in its entirety.
