Theme-spotting: (Altered) Force theme, Rose's theme. 

Soundtrack: "Fun with Finn and Rose"

Discussion topics:

Voicing Luke Skywalker for the first Battlefront video game: the process and challenges. How voice acting works in a film, how voice acting differs from physical acting, and what the ADR (Additional Dialogue Replacement) process is like. Andy Serkis, Snoke vs. Golem vs. Stitch. Chewbacca's different vocalizations. Different interpretations of Holdo's Force theme teaser. The qualities and cadences of Mark Hamill's voice, from young Luke to old Luke. Our first impressions of Rose's theme. Vocal placement and the head as a resonance chamber. A demonstration of different accents, vocal placements, and voices (Obi-Wan, Luke, Yoda, Vader, etc). Tips on exploring the limits of your own voice at home.

Note: While leitmotif names are completely up to interpretation, I use the names from Frank Lehman's Complete Catalogue of the Musical Themes of Star Wars. I find this resource to be the most careful, objective, well-organized, and up-to-date guide of its kind.
