Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 13 Things We Learned From The Press Conference

8. The Unlikely Musical Inspiration Points

For some reason at two points the press conference turned to the question of "walk out music" - what songs actors used to get themselves fired up on set. Possibly because the idea was a bit silly, Daisy Ridley offered her own surprising (and possibly tongue-in-cheek defiant) preparation:
"Mulan's I'll make a man out of you is my walk out song. I used to listen to it in the trailer before coming out."
Gwendoline Christie meanwhile went for something more traditionally villain-like:
"I'm trying to think of the name of it because it's coursing through my head right now. Kashmir by Led Zeppelin! That's exactly it."
That of course prompted an impromptu rendition of the song from the cast members on stage.
