    • I'm a Communist and believe all themes are equal, though Rey's Theme is more equal than other themes.

I like the Harry Potter-like ding dongs in the first part of the theme. Sounds very Christmassy.

He originally had Holiday Flight as an insert at that moment.  It scored the same Rey/Star Destroyer scene, which was originally a 10X speed montage of scavenging.

It was still kind of boring.

Was thinking again today about how "Follow That Kid" from Home Alone kind of strikes me as a proto-Rey's Theme, at least the version in The Scavenger. People usually throw out Harry Potter but I think this is a more interesting precursor that doesn't really get mentioned.

Isn't  that just because it's using a semi-dies irae type thing?
