Walt Disney Records has released the Star Wars: Jedi Survivor Original Video Game Soundtrack, featuring a score by composers Stephen Barton and Gordy Haab. Sounds from the Galactic Skylanes feature music from in-game characters, including:
- Joywave as “Yubnib Zekk and the Main Characters”
- The Hu as “The Agasar”
- TATRAN as “NAAARTAAAT”
- Altın Gün as “Altin Lazer Blaster”
- Kaelin Ellis as “Mister Mockwell”
Both albums released today are the audio companions to Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a third-person galaxy-spanning action-adventure game from Respawn Entertainment, developed in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games.
The story of Cal Kestis continues. This narratively-driven, single-player title picks up five years after the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and follows Cal’s increasingly desperate fight as the galaxy descends further into darkness.
Commenting on their score, composers Stephen Barton and Gordy Haab said, “It is our absolute honor to creatively reunite with each other, as well as with our friends at Respawn, EA, Lucasfilm, and Disney, to bring you the music for the second installment of the Star Wars Jedi series. This music is the culmination of our shared passion for musical experimentation and growth, combined with a mutual love for one of the greatest stories ever told — Star Wars! It represents the extraordinarily hard work of an incredible team of more than one hundred London orchestral musicians at Abbey Road and Air Studios, fifty singers, a world-class recording crew, and the best production team in the business. Together, we have composed and recorded over eight hours of brand-new, unique music for the Star Wars: Jedi series, almost four of which are featured on the original score soundtrack album. Alongside this album, we are also thrilled to present a carefully curated Cantina album; really the first of its kind, adding the diverse talents of some amazing bands to the Star Wars universe. We sincerely hope you enjoy this epic new musical chapter in the story of Cal Kestis, BD-1, Merrin, Greez, and Cere.”

Steve Schnur, Electronic Arts’ President of Music, said, “Because it’s perhaps the most iconic entertainment franchise of our time, crafting music for a new Star Wars title can be one of the greatest challenges in any composer’s career. With Jedi Survivor, Gordy Haab, and Stephen Barton have now created an epic score that takes the adventure and grandeur of the Star Wars galaxy to extraordinary new realms. Sounds from the Galactic Skylanes is not only the first-ever album of original songs from a Star Wars title but one of our most exciting projects to date. These 15 songs have been exclusively written and recorded by a select group of breakthrough artists for an album of music that is decidedly Mos Eisley Cantina by way of Coachella. Both projects stand proudly on their own within the classic canon of Star Wars music.”
