BMI Composer Kevin Kiner Discusses His Music at Ultimate Star Wars Celebration

The whole world couldn’t resist their “inner geek” coming out last month when director JJ Abrams & producer Kathleen Kennedy unveiled the official teaser 2 trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the 2015 Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, CA. As part of this four-day Ultimate Star Wars fan celebration, BMI composer Kevin Kiner was on hand to share with the fans his experience with writing the music for Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels. The Emmy-nominated Kiner and his son and music editor, Sean, spoke to the sold-out crowd on Saturday April 18.
