If this question was already answered here somewhere in the pages and pages of this topic, I hope I'll be forgiven for not wanting to search through and someone else can supply the info...but at JWFan I was recently told that John Williams actually wrote several cues to picture for Solo, which stayed in the film. It was the first I had heard of this but they supplied this IMFCA interview with Powell which corroborates the claim around the 9 minute mark:

So "some" of the "six cues" Williams wrote to picture stayed in the film, according to Powell. I can't for the life of me remember any music in the film that didn't have Powell's fingerprints on it (until the end credits). "The Adventures of Han" isn't even used in the film. So does anyone have any ideas?
I *might* have said the love theme ("Lando's Closet") but in the same interview a little later Powell explicitly takes credit for writing that theme himself (as well as Chewbacca's theme and the Marauder theme). I think "Mine Mission" is clearly Powell channelling Williams and paying homage to him, but it absolutely sounds like Powell's work IMO. Did the album producers actually choose to omit original Williams compositions written to picture? That would be surprising...

Well, you would think that none of JW's work is on the CD, if it was, they would have
included his name on the CD. To the average Joe, Williams is a known name, where
Powell is lesser known. Williams sells music!

I’d bet money the final 45 seconds of Dice and Roll is absolutely JW.
Is that all, though?
