Summary

Caitlin and Charlotte break down each musical suite of the end credits of each of the Skywalker Saga movies. Which is our favorite? What do they convey? What do they say about the film that precedes the credits themselves? We take a look at all of it and come away with some intriguing takeaways.

0:00.0	One of the hallmarks of Star Wars is, of course, the music by John Williams.
0:08.0	In today's episode, we're skipping all the way to the end of the films to discuss the featured end credit music and what it says about each of the Skywalker Saga films. Welcome to Sky Talkers.
0:30.5	Here are your hosts, Charlotte and Caitlin.
