"Sir, you'd better take over the ship... We've reached the skyhook!"
"The Empire is attacking Xisor's base and us!"

Now this right here is a really nostalgic game. I think this song right here is one of those songs that really made kid me think "Oh wow, this is great!"
The Skyhook battle itself was a really fun level once you got past the turret section, easily the level I played the most. The music, the setup of the fight being a three way fight between Empire, Rebels, and Xisor's forces where the Empire and Rebels are both trying to take down Xisor but can't put aside their differences for one minute, the Skyhook's design itself, being able to see the Millennium Falcon on occasion, THIS MUSIC, it's such a damn fun level.
This game was fun as a kid, but man was it clunky. And some levels were just straight out not fun, like the sewer level and Xisor base level. Even kid me avoided those two like the plague after beating them. But I still loved this game, fear of Wampa's notwithstanding.

You know how when you listen to a song you can mishear the lyrics and just kind of roll with it? As a kid I heard the vocals at 0:21 saying "Hohohoho music, Hohohoho MUSIC~!" and rolled with it because it's fun to think even the vocalists know how rocking this song is. Even to this day I like to pretend that's what they're saying because it's fun.
