In other "Star Wars" music news, LRM is reporting that legendary composer John Williams is helping with the scoring of the upcoming "Obi-Wan Kenobi" series. It's unknown if Williams is contributing a theme, similar to his work on "Solo: A Star Wars Story," or scoring the entire series. 

"Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel," a new novel from author Beth Revis, is hitting shelves this summer. Here's the official synopsis:

"Set just after the events of 'Star Wars: Return of the Jedi,' the story begins on the forest moon of Endor, where Han proposes in the elation of the rebel victory against the Empire. After a ceremony at the site of the victory celebration at the end of the film, the newlyweds depart for a honeymoon aboard the Halcyon starcruiser, the luxury vessel at the heart of the new Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser experience at Disney World Resort. In their most desperate hour, with the war still raging but the Empire nearing its last gasp, the couple must outwit the Imperial remnants clinging to power."

StarWars.com has a great interview with Revis about the upcoming novel, so be sure to check that out. Revis' previous work in the galaxy far, far away includes the young-adult novel "Star Wars: Rebel Rising," as well as the short stories "Fully Operational" and "For The Last Time," which were published in 2017's "Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View" and its 2020 follow-up, "Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back." 

Marvel's recently-announced "Star Wars: Obi-Wan" kicks off in May, a new series in which the Jedi Master chronicles heroic adventures in leather-bound journals from his hut on Tatooine. In issue #1, Obi-Wan shares a formative adventure he experienced as a youngling, and each subsequent installment will focus on a different period in the hero's journey.
