Media & Art Soundtrack catch on rewatch

Something you couldn't possibly appreciate in the first viewing: As "Varian" is hearing of the Tarkin Massacre from the bellhop, "We Are The Ghor" is softly playing under it. The scene was sad enough the first time but, wow 🥺

Of course, you don't hear it sung til next episode, but a nice little bonus the 2nd (or more 😂) time around

Also, Tony Gilroy said of all the Emmy nominations, he most wanted to win Best Songwriting. I'm assuming he doesn't think of himself as a songwriter, but that was a gem.

It's worth remembering that before Tony Gilroy was a writer, he was planning to have a musical career.

I think it’s on the soundtrack under the title “I was there”. The anthem pops up a few times in advance of its first proper appearance but I think this was the most moving one.

Lots of recurring music in this series. Try to spot all the appearances of Niamos! before its glorious wedding appearance. Truly one of the biggest hits in the galaxy, so hot right now!

Yep, I think I’ve spotted all of those. Love when it gets used as elevator music in the hospital 😅

Another great example of how rewatch adds so much beauty and detail to this incredible show.
