That song and his death together would just make me bawl.

Mirax/Corran would be "Little Moments" by Brad Paisley

For some reason I always think of this song, for any girl. It's sad, but comforting: Fly to the Angels by Slaughter

For Mara I always liked that PUSH, by Sarah McLachlan. Pretty much sums up her and Luke.

For Jaina, I like Madonna's Die Another Day.

For Darth Vader, this miserable song, My Heart is a Fist, by Papa Roach.

Jacen Solo: "Lie" by Black Light Burns. I heard that song on XM and immediately thought of him in the final moments of Sacrifice. Seriously, the the lyrics are so fitting it's scary. Check the this site: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/black-light-burns-lyrics/lie-lyrics.html

For almost the entire NJO series I listened to either Tool or the Deftones. I have a habit of listening to music whenever I read and I listened to those bands a lot then.

Tahiri and Anakin: "Stand Inside Your Love" by The Smashing Pumpkins.

Luke (in LoTF): "Know Your Enemy" by Rage Against the Machine. Pretty much for title reasons.

The end of NJO: "Last Train" by Lost Prophets.

Ohh i've got loads of these. I'm one of those people who actually likes listening to music while reading. tongue

For now i'll just give the first one that springs to mind:
-Jacen's fall in Betrayal || Thom Yorke - The Eraser

I've always thought of Commander Bly when I hear "Tainted Love."

Boba Fett's been making me think of "Wanted Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi.

Jacen Solo for some reason seems like he would have emo music associated with him.

The battle of Coruscant (YV war) seems like a perfect fit for "requiem for a dream."

The members of Omega Squad have "when the tigers broke free" by Pink Floyd.

In order to make it a little easier, the lyrics to Black Light Burns' "Lie" are:

I'm living a lie
And it's not the best thing for me
But anyone and everyone is gonna hear another story
I'm building a house
Of murderous intention
To keep it all from coming down
I've gotta focus my attention
'cause confidence is key
When violating trust
I'm making sure that I believe
I'm doing what I must
Which is trying to kill
The little boy inside
But as hard as I try...
The child will not die

Now I'm burning alive, just like you

Kinda sounds like Jacen, huh?

I agree with this one but another linkin park song that would also fit well during their duel is In the End

When Jacen fought Onimi, and turned all Keanu Reeves / Super Saiyan, it made me think of this song from VNV NATION:

Perpetual

Find it in you, raise your eyes
Look beyond the place you stand
Towards the furthest reaches
And to the smallest of things
The sound you are hearing
Is the symphony of what we are
Revelation will not come
With heart and mind closed and divided

No need of sun to light the way
Across the ages, we have reigned as we endured
Through the storm fronts we will ever surely pass
To stand as never ending light

Throw away the mantle
Awake from your uncertain hesitation
No way to describe or equate the feeling
No end to what is at your command
A million thoughts run through you
Concentric circles, ever greater
But you have always known
That this is not who you are
To your questions there'll be answers

Let there be, let there always be
Never ending light

Heh . . . I had actually thought of that when I heard that song. Mostly the last few lines there.

Headstrong by Trapt serves pretty well for both Anakins, actually. And Just Like You by Three Days Grace would make a pretty cool soundtrack to the Mustafar duel. And for some reason, Alive and Kicking by Nonpoint would make a very interesting soundtrack to Luke's final duel with Lumiya. Had Enough by Breaking Benjamin would be awesome for Anakin's duel with Dooku in ROTS. And when Cade finally comes around (if he does) Different Than You by the Exies would be perfect.

With most people's interpretation of Revan, only Chevelle's I Get It would do.

Of course, for Alema, there's only one possible song . . . (Hint hint Buckcherry)
