In the movie, she sings a song in Jabba's Palace. This song varies depending on which version of the movie you watch. She had one song in the movie's original 1983 release.

Flaming Sword: Lightsabers according to Jot the Jawa. He goes through R2's memory banks and sees these "swords made of fire" and magic people in robes using these swords. Oddly enough, I didn’t mind this story about Salacious Crumb and how he came to be with Jabba. I like that he still has to make Jabba laugh once a day to stay alive. I laughed at the end.

What You Are in the Dark: "Contingency Plan" shows what Mon Mothma was planning to do should the Rebels be defeated at Yavin: She would go to Coruscant and surrender to the Emperor on behalf of the Rebellion, while leaving a huge cache of valuable information on the Rebellion's resources to some young rebels so they could start a new Rebellion in its place.
