Williams' ' Imperial March' is not heard until Darth Vader has 'earned' the theme in becoming 'much more measured' at the end of his journey in the series according to Holt. Holt withheld using familiar Star Wars themes by John Williams throughout the series until 'Part VI'. For the planet of Alderaan, Holt added 'South American flavors' including rhythmic elements and modern synths. She interpolated elements of Latin music and more 'Eastern' sounds from Thailand and Hong Kong to represent different planets. In composing the music for the planet of Daiyu, described by Kenobi writer Joby Harold as having a ' Hong Kong feel' with 'graffiti-ridden nightlife', Holt took influence from different real-world cultural music.

Nevertheless, Holt still wanted her approach to feel new while also paying homage to previous Star Wars scores. Holt said that her composition process was 'a more similar journey to John Powell or Michael Giacchino', the respective composers for Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), in being 'steeped in the historical heritage characters' compared to the musical freedom granted to Ludwig Göransson with the new characters featured in The Mandalorian.

Holt met with series director Deborah Chow in London where the tone of the series was discussed. Holt is the first woman to compose the score for a live-action Star Wars project.
