These are the tunes you're looking for.

This is Cantina Band from the original Star Wars - A New Hope with an improvised intro of Binary Sunset aka The Force Theme. If you're looking for the sheet music for that part, search for Martin Spitznagel on YouTube.

This is probably one of the most fun songs I've ever played. It borders on "hard" because of it's consistently fast tempo, but since there's a lot of repetition and nothing too crazy happens in terms of runs or jumps, I stilled classified it as "medium"

I've purchased a couple of Star Wars piano sheet books and all the arrangements were really boring and bogged down. After some research I stumbled upon this insane transcription by Keeper1st (https://youtu.be/CdGGHbv5VWU) which is as accurate to the original song as you can get but also incredibly challenging. So I made some adjustments to make it playable without changing the sound too much, mostly by taking out the octave jumps in the left hand.

Also, as this song progresses during the bridge, it devolves into something that is neither fun to play nor pleasant to listen to so I decided to jump back to the main theme halfway through the bridge.

Enjoy!
