Yes. You can use our songs. It’s free. Just credit us.

If you run a Star Wars podcast, a YouTube channel, a fan film, a convention panel, a Twitch stream, or a radio show, you have our permission to use The Han Solo Project’s music. You don’t need to email us first. You don’t need to sign anything. There’s no fee.

It won’t get you claimed

This is the part that matters if you publish on YouTube. Every song we have ever written is original — our compositions, our recordings, not one note of John Williams anywhere in any of it. That was deliberate.

Use the actual Star Wars score and you are risking a Content ID claim. In 2019 a fan film with more than thirty million views got claimed by Disney’s publisher over a short cover of the Imperial March, and Lucasfilm had to step in personally to get it released. Our music sounds like this universe and carries none of that risk. Ten years, five albums, zero claims, zero cease-and-desist letters.

The credit

Say the song title and the band name, and link back here if your format has show notes or a description. Copy this and swap the title:

Music: "SONG TITLE" by The Han Solo Project — thehansoloproject.com

That’s the whole deal. Intro music, outro music, bed music under a segment, a full song in an episode — all fine.

Start with the songs

All fifty songs are free MP3s on the download page, grouped by what they are actually about so you can find one that fits the episode instead of scrolling titles. The albums are on Bandcamp too, if you would rather have them whole with the covers attached. Either way, take the files rather than ripping audio from a streaming service — rips sound bad and they confuse platform content matching, which is the thing we are trying to help you avoid.

There is nothing to request and nobody to wait on. The files are sitting right there.

Want one a different length?

If a song suits your show but not your slot, we can trim it. An instrumental edit with the vocals stripped out so you can talk over it. A fifteen- or thirty-second cut for a bumper. A section looped into a bed that doesn’t end awkwardly.

That’s editing, not composing. We’re two people with day jobs rather than a scoring service, so we’re not the right call for a custom theme or music written to picture. But cutting one of our finished songs down to the shape you need costs us almost nothing, and we enjoy it more than you would expect. Ask us for an edit.

Two honest caveats

We can only give away what’s ours. These are our original songs and our recordings, so those are ours to share. Star Wars itself belongs to Lucasfilm and Disney, and nothing on this page grants you any rights to their property — including John Williams’ score, which is not ours and never will be.

Ask before you sell it. Free use covers podcasts, videos, streams, fan projects, and events. If you want a song in something commercial — an ad, a product, something with a media budget — talk to us first. We’re not precious about it. We just want to know.

One request

If you use a song, tell us. We will listen to your show. We have been the two guys making Star Wars songs into the void for a long time and hearing one of them come out of someone else’s speakers is the entire point.
