Got 'em. Nice one

I chuckled a bit at a 18 year old score being called "recent" (but that's interesting!)

Is this a sponsored post

That brass in Journey to Exegol, sublime

It is faaaantastic, nobody does travel music like John Williams

It must have been, the score was very loud where I saw it

John Williams > Stan Lee

1. ESB 2. ROTJ 3. TPM 4 ANH 5. TFA 6 AOTC 7. ROTS 8. TROS 9. TLJ That's not to say TLJ or TROS are bad at all, they are both better than 99% of scores being written these days.

Speaking as someone who enjoys Giacchino a lot, he has not written a single motif as good as any Williams (or Barry) motif, including the pretty decent Imperial motif from Rogue One.

Thanks dude! Yeah the prequel style is very influential, I agree. It's funny how popular it has become. But well deserved obviously. Williams adapted to the times, and he tapped into the zeitgeist once again. It's incredible how many times he's done it.

I told you it was good, didn't I Jay?

TFA is honestly a perfect start to a new trilogy. I can't find fault with it. 5 stars from me. Both TLJ and TROS are strong 4 stars

Out of the realistic choices I would have picked JNH as well. My dream choice right now would be Frederic Talgorn but that's never gonna happen

He really did

No the Knights of Ren material is almost primal, Planet of the Apes, loud brass and percussion

Frederic Talgorn is absolutely incredible in his own right, Robotjox and Heavy Metal 2000 are both masterpieces

The trumpet parts are quite Williams-esque but again, it's not quite right

I know this is an in-joke in this forum but come on lol

Lots of great stuff here!

Yeah I was NOT saying that Giacchino is better, he is several steps below Williams. But he can churn out music is what I meant.

Well I'm pretty sure Giacchino can turn out his music a lot faster than Williams can (due to both his age and technology)

Honestly the muscular brass stuff in this score is some of the best, I keep listening to all the "dark side" material. Lots of deliciously evil fanfares with pounding timpani

More, or different score. There was music there, just not this.

Haha it's so weird hearing the unholy hybrid of Williams and Elfman. It really does sound like it's 50/50

Sorry I didn't have a more definitive answer! It's EXACTLY the same arpeggio though, it's probably just a nice callback without much significance
