Popular Post rpvee 805 Posted December 15, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2017 The Last Jedi opened in the USA tonight, and in addition to the standard 7:00 pm showings, there was also a 6:00 pm showing that including free snacks, some swag, and exclusive visual content before the main film. Many thought the visual content would be a look at Solo: A Star Wars Story, so you can imagine my surprise when, after a spoken introduction recording by Rian Johnson, we were treated to a 5-or-so minute long tribute to Williams, and a look at his work on The Last Jedi. There weren’t any specific new things to me - it was mainly people praising Williams, and Williams talking about his process (still using paper and all). There was a shot of him and Daisy Ridley hugging, which was cute with Williams’ little crush in mind. There was also a beautiful statement of Leia’s Theme (EDIT: was Luke and Leia’s theme, got mixed up in the excitement of the moment haha!). Williams did touch on the topic of Episode IX right at the end. He said he hasn’t thought about it yet, but that he hopes his time with the Saga isn’t over. Hopefully this gets officially posted online, or is included in the Blu-Ray! Ricard, John, Will and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyD 1,223 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I went to the opening night showing. I actually just got back. It was such a delightful surprise to have that featurette before Star Wars, Episode VIII: The Last Jedi started. I loved it. The Maestro looks and sounds great. What a treat. Not only that, but the film was absolutely phenomenal, with a lot of unexpected surprises. Not to mention that the Maestro once again out does himself with the score. I can't wait to see it again. rpvee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balahkay 627 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 That sounds awesome! My showing at AMC had nothing before the trailer. In fact, it started 15 minutes late. I was pleasantly surprised how POWERFUL the music was, especially during the final act. I can't wait until I listen to the OST tomorrow. Rose's theme is stuck in my head. 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artguy360 1,843 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 My local imax showing had the JW featurette before the film too. I was very surprised by the fact that it showed new shots and played new music right before seeing and hearing it in the film. The sound mix is great and the music comes through loud and clear. I agree the music is powerful in the film. I think JW was invigorated scoring this film and I hope he does 9 as well. He looked very healthy in the featurette.

I usually don't like those EPKs before the film, but it was pretty harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,313 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Bit disappointed there's nothing on the official SW page about JW scoring TLJ. Obviously the Bluray will have a featurette but c'mon! Obi and Breadstick Basilisk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuberSepp 6 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Thanks a lot! But strange enough: You can clearly see JW conducting the main title for TLJ. This make it even more confusing why this recording was not used on the CD. Luka, Offline and Tiburon 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess ... they recorded it. But in edit, due to some reason, tracked the Ep VII recording. So the new recording is out there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balahkay 627 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Are we positive the film version is the TFA recording? OST has been confirmed, but film version? It sounded punchier in the theater to me but some say it sounded dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not my confirmation, but yes, of course's that a comparison of the TLJ CD to the TFA CD. Oh, I misread the post before, my bad. I dunno if anyone's ears are good enough to tell if the film version is identical to the CD version or not, at least not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,949 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I think its fair to say that hopes that Rian Johnson is a more composer-friendly director have been proven to be, if not false, certainly a case of wishful thinking. There's a lot of blatant temp-track love in his: from original score that feels too close to existing music (especially prequel music!), tracked or re-created music in the film; there's a discarded recording of the opening, and a poorly-edited end-credits.

Jay 37,355 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 OK, got to watch the video. Thank you SO MUCH for posting it, @Luka!!! So yea, it CLEARLY shows Williams conducting the main titles at the TLJ sessions, unquestionably. I wonder why the TFA main titles are on the OST album.

Holko 9,526 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 The titles in the video don't really sound too different from the OST recording. The OST has a tiny blink-and-you-miss-it drumroll buildup before the first note, this one starts immediately. MAYBE the first note goes out a little slower and more softly in the OST and a bit more abruptly in the video, MAYBE the first note is fuller and stronger with more umph in the video. But this recording of a movie screen is not exactly sufficient quality to say anything conclusive. How different did we even expect it to be, or why? It's the same studio, same setup, probably all the same musicians - we were never gonna get a difference like between SW and Empire, those are heaven and earth. Still very strange they would just put the old recording on the new OST, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,136 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 So what are these inside jokes Williams speaks of I wonder. Also I love the little laugh after he talks about Ep 9, and says he hopes this isn't an experience that ends. It says that he feels like he's never not been doing Star Wars. rpvee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,313 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Rian might answer the question on Twitter? It's doubly weird that Dudamel isn't even credited for conducting in the film or album, despite them using the version he conducted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
