He also revealed on Twitter that he makes a cameo in the film as an X-Wing pilot, and looks rather dashing in the role if you ask us.
This isn't the first time Miranda has contributed to a soundtrack in a galaxy far, far away – he co-wrote "Jabba Flow" with director J.J. Abrams.
The song is an homage to the original cantina song and can be heard in Maz Kanata's castle in 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Miranda also provided the vocals for it alongside Abrams, despite the lyrics being in fictional language Huttese.
