Light the Sky on Fire

"Light the Sky on Fire" (LightTheSkyOnFire.flac) was a song sung by a band of Human musicians, and was popular on Kashyyyk during the Galactic Civil War. At around the same time, a song entitled "Hyperdrive" was also a hit on Kashyyyk.

The lyrics mentioned legends about a "great god" named Kopa Khan, who "came from the stars and vanished," but who was prophesied to eventually return.

In 1 ABY, Saun Dann gave Mallatobuck a music box that played a holovid of a performance of the song as a Life Day present. Dann later used the holovid to distract an Imperial soldier, after the Empire had blockaded the planet and invaded Mallatobuck's house.
