Popular Post crumbs 14,300 Posted May 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2017 Johnson seems very switched on. I'm still predicting this collaboration will be the closest we ever get to another Williams/Cuaron score. Also, is it just me, or does Williams appear to be de-aging? He looks younger and more vibrant with each new session, especially compared to those "scary" videos a few years back where he looked exhausted. I can't believe how much of a difference that pacemaker procedure has seemingly had. John, Once and Cerebral Cortex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,300 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I have a sneaking suspicion his writing for TLJ will be far more colourful and energetic than his writing for TFA, too. Let's just hope Johnson doesn't butcher it with microedits like Abrams did. 3 minutes ago, Holko said: How do we feel about this? Seems like John Williams calls the shots in the spotting sessions.

Let's just hope Johnson doesn't butcher it with microedits like Abrams did. Based on his previous works, I think for most sequels he really improved upon his first scores. Empire, Temple of Doom, The Lost World, HP2/3 (I don't know if 2 can be considered a different score, it copies so much stuff verbatim, but all the new cues are amazing), the only worse one which comes to my mind is AotC.

crumbs 14,300 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 That's very true. And he laid all the foundations in TFA so he can, hopefully, explore them in this film and sink his teeth into the meat of the story. He said that Rey's Theme was intended to be unresolved, an adventure theme that wasn't completely triumphant (as Rey's journey in TFA is only just the beginning).

Popular Post Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 23, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2017 The person who tweeted at Johnson clearly has not a single clue how film music works. Reminds me of the Star Wars podcast I recently heard Doug Adams guest on. The interviewer had no idea that film composers write music to accompany specific parts of the film. He thought they just recorded a bunch of music and then the editors decide where it goes, like it was a pop song or something. I run into this all the time as a programmer who interacts some with end users of the software I work on: that it's easy to forget how ignorant people can be of subjects you are deeply immersed in. I'm not saying these people are dumb, just that it's easy to forget that most people do not know or think about how films are put together.

Faleel 5,340 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I would love a choral moment like in the finale of Shadows of the Empire (the statement of the Rebel Hymn, not the big ending) I assume the Snoke choir will carry over at some point.

crumbs 14,300 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Male choir for the big bad villain has been a staple through the films since ROTJ. I'd be shocked if it doesn't return for TLJ, especially considering Snoke's material was atonal low male choir (and presumably his role is vastly expanded in the sequel, necessitating more grandiose material). They might even be recording the choir separately from the orchestra. What's Williams' preference these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
