During Sunday night's American Music Awards, hosted by Jennifer Lopez and featuring performances from Justin Bieber and Coldplay, a cappella group Pentatonix performed a Star Wars-themed set following newly released footage from the forthcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The film, directed by J.J. Abrams, is slated for release in the United States on Dec. 18

"Many of you know composer John Williams' name, but one thing is for sure, all movie fans know of his music," actor Harrison Ford said to the crowd Sunday night while introducing Pentatonix, who performed a tribute to the film's musical composer. Williams created the main theme song for the film, not to mention other popular film soundtracks.
