$\begingroup$ Is the sixth line supposed to be read as "I'll help you (while) playing music", or "I'll help you play music"? $\endgroup$– jamisansAug 17, 2018 at 23:56

I'm gonna take a guess and say that you are
Tri
Here comes the stretch:
I am formed of letters three, Have a go - can you find me?
Not only you are formed of three letters, you are also a form of the number three.
When you give me legs, I'll help you see the stars.
Tripod is used as a leg for the telescope.
When you take me fishing, I'll help you playing music.
Angle can also mean fish hook. Triangle is a musical instrument.
When I join a rock band, I'm like a good hard puzzle.
A hard puzzle can be tricky. CKY is an American rock band.
When I'm making promotion, I might join mafia gangs.
Making promotion = AD
and
Triad is used to call the mobs from China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.

$\begingroup$ This must surely be more or less it. I wonder (1) whether the intended answer is a homophone that's an actual word and (2) whether the title is a Star Wars reference. (Even though IIRC the OP is slightly infamous on scifi.stackexchange.com for never having seen any of the Star Wars movies.) $\endgroup$– Gareth McCaughan ♦Aug 18, 2018 at 20:10

$\begingroup$ @GarethMcCaughan I have a doubt on (1), myself, because It doesn't fit in with how the other solutions to the clues are constructed but I can’t seem to find the one that does so I give up and go with (1). $\endgroup$ Aug 19, 2018 at 0:26

$\begingroup$ Yes, this it it - well done! @Gareth The intended answer is what Kevorobin said, but the title is indeed a reference to the homophone which is an actual word. (Your parenthetical is also correct, but I've picked up a lot of Star Wars knowledge simply by osmosis on SFF.SE :-) ) $\endgroup$ Aug 19, 2018 at 11:47
