However, I'm kind of partial to Yesterday's Jawa, and not just because it has my favorite race in the title. I've seen quite a few people ridicule how weird and bizarre these songs are, and I can't entirely blame them for doing so. Now how could we end this column without mentioning at least one of the infamous cantina songs? These tunes, most of which can be found on the in-game jukeboxes, didn't prove to be as popular as A New Hope's cantina theme. Update your settings here, then reload the page to see it.

It's a great soundtrack that fuses John Williams' classic strains with each composer's own take on the universe, and it definitely deserves to be covered. Making a Star Wars score on the scale of an MMO was a huge project, and BioWare enlisted a host of composers for it: Mark Griskey ( Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II) Gordy Haab ( Kinect Star Wars), Wilbert Roget ( Monkey Island 2), Lennie Moore ( Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary), Jessie Harlin ( Star Wars: Republic Commando), Jared Emerson-Johnson ( The Walking Dead), Peter McConnell ( Psychonauts), and Steve Kirk ( Farmville). So with my CE purchase and a little downloading know-how, I was able to piece together the SWTOR soundtrack to make a cohesive whole. The other half was given away for free by BioWare in the days leading up to the game's release. Star Wars: The Old Republic's CE included the soundtrack.

I know, big surprise, right? But that often can be a crucial factor in my purchasing the product, especially if it doesn't look like the score's going to be released anywhere else. When an upcoming MMO announces its collector's edition, the very first thing I check for is whether it includes the soundtrack or not.
