Those last 4 notes in the clip are the exact sames ones when Luke and Leia are stopped at the Death Star chasm.

Don't forget Call of Duty by Gia, it's not MOH but it's still a world war 2 game OST.

Giacchino has created a lot of great militaristic cues for videos games during his early 2000 period. If he can go back a little to this period it would be great. While we do not know if Rogue One is that type of movie (sci-fi war movie), all point it to that. So Snare-drums, big bombastic sound, attack cues with a big build-up using a strong leitmotif A mixed with a minor B one, desperation of war, etc... Giacchino has it covered all. Exhibits :

The guy was made do replace Johnny.

There was definitely a connection between Gia's score and the original Goldsmith POTA one. His work on that movie was much more grounded to existing material than for Jurassic World. Anyway, Giacchino could quote his Star Tours material and go Cabaret-style!

Who knows, maybe he's the kind of compositor who already had cues and themes written for an eventual movie. Like how Johnny used to think of stuff during his golfing? How good is MG under pressure?

This is a somehow interesting variation, was it orchestrated by John?

Has there been any kind of live-to-projection where you have no SFX or dialogue? Dialogue are subtitled and you only hear the orchestra?

It's a lazy script, but do we blame Kasdan or the exec suits at Disney for that?

John Williams definitely belongs to the tradition of the great masters and there are some composers who are rightfully considered as "great" that have accomplished much less than him. When some historical detachment will allow it, he will enter the regular books of music history, hopefully along with several other film composers. I'm not sure that having accomplished more has a meaning. In a way that Mahler, Ives or Ravel didn't really compose that much, Ravel has written something like 6 hours of composition in his life.

The Libertador is sometimes very JWish, you can see that he was in influence on him. This is an awesome gift of pure unselfishness, they surely have a personal bond that goes beyond the Disney connection. I've seen Gustavo conduct and it was very impressive, let's remember that he embraces modern composers like Johnny and does not brown-nose film music.

Could Inarritu be the 1st director to get back-to-back director Academy Awards since John Ford? Not only for Best Director but Best Picture perhaps, that has never happened before. Is there any other movie with serious Oscar buzz like this one?

This will give us a much more natural sound than the Burtion-Elfman box.

Raiders was part of his gothical period, you can feel it in the orchestration under all that brass.

Seiji looks great considering he has just beat cancer last year! Was the turkey cooked by Kristine Opolais?

Anderton's Finn and Rey's Great Escape

I have no idea how they can explain that Deckard, a replicant, has aged 30 years and hasn't reached the end of his life-span. Perhaps that he's a "Nexus-7", with human emotions but an infinite life-span. If so, why would he had got beaten by an inferior Nexus-6, Roy, who pitied him and kept him alive?

There's a lot of movement in JJ's camera work, there's a lot of trailer shots where the camera is dollied forward. SW movies are shot flat, Kurosawa-zoom style!

Schindler's List got leaked in big fashion so I guess there is less demand for an entire score. Plus the reason of that movie makes it less demanding for a complete score vs (it's not a score of the most importance in the grand scheme of classical composition in the 20th century a la Jaws which also catapulted a director/composer into stardom). The single CD is satisfying as opposed to TLW per example.

That bassy room reverb and the remix will surely need some time to get accustomed to! But this gives us better clarity in the end...

Wow! The first cue that plays apes the TPM sound very well! Yeah this guy is really good at emulating JW, better than Giacchino or Broughton or McNeely. He has a career ahead.

http://www.gordyhaab.com/ (music is "on" by default). This is good work, similar to Bruce Broughton' JW imitation or the early games of Giacchino. He can formulate a "full" sound out of what probably is a smaller orchestra or a small budget. Does he has any album out?

So... is season 02 a good binge watch like S01 ??

Drama is really easy to ignore, you can tell that pretty much any post under a line is irrelevant to things related to JW (mine included)

Brainstorm, or how I learned to listen to an album with one hand on the volume controller AT ALL TIME.
