So if Rey is Luke's daughter...doesn't that mean Luke broke the Jedi code by falling in love/list? You'd think he'd be particularly cautious about that given how it was a contributing factor to anakins slide to the dark side...

I think it's very unlikely that he wins. I think he'll prob be nominated but even that's not as common a guarantee as it usually is. Question: were the prequel scores eligible for nominations?

I didn't like that...felt like it was breaking the fourth wall by acknowledging how scripted hero/villain confrontations can seem. Not very star warsy

"Don't say the Death Star"

Anybody else think Rey's(?) theme is reminiscient of Night at the Museum main theme? When I saw the film that's what kept coming to mind. I don't remember exactly why, I think it had to do with the chords. Could be wrong.

Isn't that a very George Lucasy thing to do? Remember this random thing from ROTJ that was sitting off to the corner? This is part of the "lived in" quality of the films in how the universe is populated. Yeah I'm totally down with that, it's just the execution was way off. Like the alien head pops up for less than 2 seconds and then we're already cutting away. I have a feeling the segment was initially longer but they cut it down for some reason

Saw it last night. Here are some thougths: Overall, very good. Acting and new characters were definitely strong points, and it was awesome to see Han, Leia and Chewie back together again. SFX were great, awesome to see practical effects used so much (particularly for the characters). The one exception was the new lightsabers...I didn't like the way they looked in the trailers, and that carried through to the film (I don't mind Ren's cross-sword, I mean the actual glowing part looked weird). The design for both the head bad guys was pretty weak...Snoke looked like the KotCS aliens. Ren's mask was pretty good, but when he took it off it was pretty bad...Adam Driver looked too young and twerpy to be a serious villain. But I like that the film seemed to acknowledge that, with Snoke referencing that Ren needs to "complete his training," and having him be emotionally torn, etc. Han's death, however predictable, was really quite sad. I'm bummed we won't be seeing anymore of him, and that his story had to end to sadly. And yes, the story is a complete rehash of Star Wars, which was disappointing. Music--need to listen more to develop a complete opinion. I hear the criticism of some...the new themes don't seem particularly interesting, but I also think there's room for it to grow. The Scherzo for X-Wings is pretty cool. One of the bad guy themes reminded me of Tintin (same rhythm). And yes, it was great to actually hear the music. And also to get confirmation that JW still remember the love theme for Han and Leia. Hmmmm, other random tidbits: - all the non-Stormtrooper, non-Ren, non-Snoke badguys had British accents ala Tarkin. lol - what was with that shot in the beginning where BB8 was rolling over a hill on Jakku, and a random Cantina aliens' head pops up out of the sand and then we immediately cut to another scene??? That was so sloppy - nice "Starkiller" reference I liked this movie, but I'm also feeling very nostalgic for BOTH the OT and the prequels.

Thanks guys. I'll avoid it just to be extra cautious...assuming I can resist the temptation.

Thanks in advance...have purposefully been avoiding the buzz to avoid spoilers.

Wow sounds really good from what we can hear

Kinda reminds me of the Lament from Evita. At 0:05:

I think it's JW music. To be clear I have zero inside information, just a guess based on the style. Not a very interesting theme but hard to judge in 1 minute

Interesting. Can you post a link and time stamp for the page master due?

Interesting. What's the source for that piece of information?

Great! Excited to hear this again. I was at the world premiere and as I testified earlier in this thread, it's a great piece.

I second CMIYC and MOAG (and pretty much everything else that's been said here already)

Wow did we even know when they started shooting?

Wait he's editing already?? As in the film was shot already and they're in post?

To me--and I have zero inside info--it sounds a lot like JW

Perhaps JFK?Duel of the fates? Theme from JP?

I'm in an Andrew Lloyd Webber phase for the past few months. Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, and Sunset Boulevars are my trifecta right now

ESB ROTS AOTC/SW TPM ROTJ

Didn't happen in 2008 with KotCS. Granted I think that was the first time that ha happened since 1992 (JW isn't nominated for anything in a year where he scores at least one film)
