J.J. Abrams is one of the biggest filmmakers in Hollywood — and now, he can add Broadway singer to his long list of accolades!
For those who don’t know, the cantina song featured in Star Wars: The Force Awakens was written by the director and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.
So to celebrate Star Wars Day on Wednesday, the masterminds performed their collaboration live on the streets of New York City as a part of Miranda’s #Ham4Ham series — a tradition in which the performer entertains crowds that are unable to get into Hamilton shows.

Before Abrams made his “Broadway singing debut,” Miranda explained that the lyrics to the song, titled Jabba Flow, are in Jabba the Hutt’s native tongue!
And fans who can’t get enough of the song are in luck! The musical genius announced that Jabba Flow is available for purchase on iTunes, sharing on Twitter:
