Lin-Manuel Miranda and J.J. Abrams Perform Song From 'Force Awakens': Watch
Here's some Star Wars folklore for you: Lin-Manuel Miranda—Broadway star/creator of Hamilton—actually composed a song featured in The Force Awakens. The cantina song, which was written in secret by Miranda and director J.J. Abrams, is called "Jabba Flow," and is a bouncy little jazz number sung entirely in Jabba the Hutt's Huttese language.
In honor of the film's unofficial holiday, May the Fourth, Miranda and Abrams played "Jabba Flow" as part of Hamilton's weekly #Ham4Ham performance outside of the Richard Rodgers theater in New York City. Watch video above.
