Learn "Here They Come" and "Parade of the Ewoks", along with the Jar Jar Binks theme linked below. This is not the actual part, but an arrangement. But you can at least hear the melody.

Lots of Williams tuba stuff outside of the Skywalker Saga. Some of it is quite physical, too. "Duel of the Fates" comes to mind.

I get to play all of this tonight. I have close to a hundred pages of Star Wars parts for tonight's concert. Ouch.

Definitely not the overwhelming majority, but we did touch Cowboys and Jaws a little
