It sounded pretty positive to me, but he admitted Jyn's Theme had no impact on him (he couldn't even work out what it was). Huh. I don't usually listen to that but this time I might have to check it out. I suppose he must have attended the 28 minute journalist preview? Or did he get some special preview of the OST?

mstrox 6,612 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I thought they both sounded really good. The second sounded pretty Star Warsy to me - not Williamsy, but Star Warsy.

And did you guys notice -- the first cue's sheet music said "Orchestrated by William Ross"!!!! I know this was already on IMDB, but that's not a very reliable source of information so I don't think anyone really took it seriously. It was all speculation.

ocelot 508 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Oh Dear God........ Fingers crossed it's not another horrid score....

I quite like it though. And bonus points for piano duet. Finally some positivity! I wasn't a huge fan of the first one, although it was fine, but the second one is pretty great. That sudden and brief romantic string moment near the beginning amidst the action is gorgeous. The figure at 1:34 is way better than the main one from Crash Decisions, IMO (which I never liked very much, and I think there are better action moments in that score) -- although I suppose this could be due in part to my low expectations here when people said the cues weren't very good, as compared to my high expectations for Crash Decisions when Jay said it was the action cue of the year. This new figure reminds me a little of ROTS. The bit at 1:48 sounds very Williams-y (like this ANH bit: https://youtu.be/liVSa76Scck?t=275) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he will bring those chops into Rogue One then, because most of his scores sound extremely bland and unmusical to my ears. I do like The Incredibles and did he do Ratatouille?

Yeah, the 60 Minutes Williams TFA footage mostly included music from the opening scene that wasn't anything spectacular (although still pretty great of course, just not highlights!) and actually ended up being unused alternates to the final film and OST versions. There was also some Scherzo for X-Wings and Ways of the Force, but no The Scavenger, Rey's Theme concert arrangement, March of the Resistance, I Can Fly Anything, The Falcon, Main Title, Jedi Steps, etc. Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
