But it was in the midst of Göransson’s “breakout” period surrounding the release of Black Panther and “This Is America” that he was hired to tackle a massive challenge: scoring the first-ever live-action Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian. Despite his busy schedule, Göransson committed to scoring each episode from scratch, which has resulted in some truly terrific episode-specific albums released each week after each new episode releases on Disney+. Göransson is one of very few composers not named John Williams to create music for the Star Wars universe, and with The Mandalorian he succeeded wildly in crafting wholly unique, exciting, and fresh music for one of the most iconic franchises of all time.
