“I just started thinking a lot about going back to how I remembered Star Wars, and the impact it had with me as a little kid,” Göransson tells Variety. “I bought a set of recorders, these little woodwind recorders that everyone played when they were a kid. I wanted to take a step away from screens and computers. That’s the way I used to write music when I was a kid. I was just alone in my studio with all these instruments. I wanted to recreate that feeling.”
