Giftheck 916 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'd go for Silvestri, a un-stressed Giacchino (as in not rushed into doing it between two other scores like he was for Rogue One), or an odd choice, but as you have Gordy Haab, why not suggest another who's done Star Wars game scores? So my third choice would be Mark Griskey. I loved his work on TFU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,664 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Does make me wonder if any other 'trusted' composers might've had a more relaxed gap in their schedule to do Rogue. Asking anyone to make a Star Wars score with 4 weeks' notice is going to make anyone stressed. I certainly think that the inevitable comparisons to JW are unfair, if only for that factor. Gia had 10% of the time JW had. I suppose that there's little room for Disney to consider any less busy composers because they need the reassurance that they can handle the assignment and come back in four weeks with a serviceable score. I can't see them giving the next one to a video game composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 TESB was composed in about 6 weeks. Hardly 10% of the time Gia had. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but John Williams sure knew that he would be composing that and had ideas between IV and V. Giacchino didn't know he was going to score until 2 months before the movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,664 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I was comparing with TFA too. 4 weeks vs a year. But anyway, yes, that's the other factor - Williams would've known in advance that the assignment was coming, and how much time he'd have, so he could plan for it. Gia didn't get any of that.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 It's simple. John Williams is a better composer than Giacchino, and will naturally compose a better Star Wars score The end! MikeH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,664 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I'm not defending Gia (yet). I haven't listened to the score yet. Just reflecting on the fact that this was rushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 No one is denying that. Aliens was a rushed score and is generally regarded as excellent. Krull is a massive score written in 3 weeks. Goldsmith composed Air Force One and First Contact in about 2 weeks each. Albeit with a little help.

Richard Penna 3,664 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 So that's a little under a third of the score. That's essentially co-composing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star_Wars 0 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 What do people hate so much about Alexandre Desplat? His scores for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2 are two of my favorite OSTs of all time. I was disappointed beyond belief when I heard Michael took over the job that Desplat was signed on to for Rogue One. There was an unbelievable number of easily noticeable flaws in Michael's shitty performance in Rogue One, whereas if you look at anything Desplat has done, it is exceptional. He did brilliantly with one of the most anticipated movies of all time(HP and the Deathly Hallows Part 2), so why not trust Star Wars in his hands? If you agree with this, send it anywhere you can think of where it can get attention. Alexandre Desplat deserves to do a Star Wars standalone film.
