Bofur01 245 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Also this about the music: “Most of what we heard was similar to what was in the trailers. There were a lot of times where silence (or very quiet, tense strings) prevailed for effect.” JW is a trailer clone confirmed EDIT - there were also comparisons to RotS, and some music that was “very percussion heavy. Like a military drum march.” Will and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,306 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Now we wait for the review that calls the score "atrocious." The mention of percussion confirms that John has included percussion in the score. This is an unexpected development. ins and Bilbo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom 4,651 Posted December 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2017 So, I am bored tonight and looked at SWNN. the main guy over there vouched for the following, non-spoiler review. I place it here for the score reference: "Wow, that was a lot to digest. Some initial impressions Don't worry guys. IMO It was incredible. Never had 2 and a half hours fly by so quickly. Probably won't come as a surprise when I say its darker and more serious compared with TFA. TFA also moved at a brisk pace while TLJ almost takes its time, but definitely wouldn't say its slow. That soundtrack! Also its a very nice looking movie, loved the vfx as usual. Also you may have to give TFA a rewatch before seeing this. Now gotta wait for Episode 9, ffs."

Quintus 5,399 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The tidal wave of emoticon reactions above in response to the first couple of posts are terribly melodramatic and garish IMO. All a person said somewhere is that it was unobtrusive. Big wow! Better shut down the forum 😱 My thought though was that this is possibly just somebody whom in the past has found Williams to be a bit overbearing in other films, which he can be.

Chen G. 3,949 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Yeah, what he said certainly makes sense for the movie from a structural point of view. He's essentially describing an action opening sequence not unlike that of the original Star Wars, which is a good way to go about constructing this episode. Although, with Abrams helming the last installment, one must wonder how all of this will play out. Abrams is also fond of the idea of an opening action scene, but outside of James Bond movies, its unusual in film trilogies to have a grand action opening to all three pictures. Look at the Middle Earth films, the previous Star Wars trilogies, etcetra. There's always an odd one out, and there's a reason for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
