This post includes spoilers for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."
Setting fight scenes to pop music is nothing new in movies. You'll see it in everything from Marvel films to "Kingsmen."
"Star Wars" movies, though, never use pop music. They always have an original soundtrack, usually scored by John Williams. But one scene from "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" was begging for the pop treatment.
Of all the badass scenes in "The Last Jedi," the coolest has to be when Kylo Ren kills Supreme Leader Snoke and then teams up with Rey to kill the Praetorian guards. It's beautifully choreographed scene, all the better because of the lush red throne room it takes place in.
So one Twitter user did an experiment to see how it would feel it it were set to, say "Mr. Blue Sky" by the Electric Light Orchestra. It's awesome.

It works with pretty much any song, especially if the "drop" is synchronized with when the lightsabers start clashing. Here it is set to "Africa" by Toto.

It's also good for thematic resonance, like with "Take a Chance On Me" by ABBA.

It works remarkably well with "Bet On It" from "High School Musical 2."

"Toxic" by Britney Spears may be the best.

"I'm Not Okay" by My Chemical Romance has Kylo Ren vibes.

"The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac works really well.

"I've Had the Time of My Life" from "Dirty Dancing" is a funny one.
