Music fun fact: If you speed up a 3 against 2 polyrhythm incredibly fast, it turns into two notes: A perfect fifth interval. That's because the frequency ratio of a perfect fifth is 3:2.
For example, A-E is a perfect fifth. A3=220Hz, E4=330Hz.
330:220=3:2. Ta-dah!
George Lucas: This scene is set in the roughest bar you can imagine, filled with violent scumbags who'll cut your arm off if you look at them sideways
John Williams: What kind of music will they be playing?
George Lucas: Light jazz
