Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 1. The Fathers - classic Indiana Jones action music! (can't wait for Indiana Jones) 2. The Last Jedi - Great choral work and I love the looping force theme as Luke gives his speech 3. Lesson One - I love the hole falling music in the second half, makes a major impact in-film 4. Canto Bight - great wacky writing, I didn't know JW had it in him to write something this goofy 5. The Spark - for the heart-aching string interlude between "Luke and Leia's theme" and "Han and Leia's theme" Smeltington and Josh500 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 most of my favorite tracks are on the FYCs or FYCs film version Kylo Ren Arrives at Battle, The Abduction,The Last Jedi are all superior to the OST and unreleased stuff like The Resistance, Holdo's Resolve...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Soundtrack albums: TFA Rey's Theme The Abduction On the Inside (this is a wonderful track that I will write about more at some stage, but it ticks so many boxes for me) Farewell and the Trip March of the Resistance TLJ The Rebellion is Reborn The Battle of Crait The Spark The Last Jedi The Fathiers If I could choose from FYC and fan edits this would be very different. Primarily, the fan edit of "The Ways of the Force" that I have which includes "Scherzo for X-Wings" as it may have been originally intended is incredible, and "Holdo's Resolve" from TLJ is quite possibly my favourite cue from that whole score.

Popular Post Arpy 4,145 Posted March 4, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2018 Ahch-To Island - luscious and lyrical, I love how this cue catches us up after TFA with a lovely segue from Rey's Theme to Luke's new theme. The Fathiers - Broad, bombastic and every shade of Williams I enjoy, it's a fun action cue with probably one of the most 'heroic' feeling bridges with Rose's Theme. The Battle of Crait - The opening few minutes almost harken back to the classic OT sound, later in the cue the music becomes more rhythmic and urgent and I love it. The last minute or two has this momentum that builds into the haunting choral 'Finn's sacrifice' sequence. A New Alliance - I'm a sucker for the raw action-sound for this duel, darker and militaristic, very ToD as has been mentioned by others. As Rey and Ren defeat the Guards there's a brilliant fanfare that almost says 'Fuck Yeah!' in what I can only describe might be close to a short action fanfare from Indiana Jones. The Spark/The Last Jedi (Joint vote) - As Leia and the rebels wait for their demise within the base on Crait, there's this lovely yet dark brass segment that perfectly captures that sense of hopelessness and defeat in the moments leading up to Luke's entrance. The Last Jedi has the brilliant choral moment featuring portions of Rey's Theme as she levitates the rocks and as her and Finn are reunited - Williams has a knack for reunions - musically it works very well as a denouement before the final scenes. Special mention - Peace and Purpose for Poe's Theme and the Rey Outro. Taikomochi, John, Josh500 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 I'm only now getting into TLJ. This score is mind-blowingly good. Just not sure whether it's better than TFA....

rough cut 1,714 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Then it’s not all the scores you prefer to the Titanic - it’s exactly half of them. Or did I misinterpret? Taikomochi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,949 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Yeah. Originally, I didn't include Return of the Jedi in there, so it wasn't quite half of the scores, but in thinking about it, I had to add it, as well. Its mostly just the episodic nature of the film that makes it impossible to have a "main theme" in the way that Titanic and the other Star Wars scores have.

Holko 9,526 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hang on, you said many times you want third movies to clash previous existing material and praise Shore for doing it. Now you say you like Jedi less because it does that and doesn't have a new "main theme"? You can be a bit hard to figure out sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,949 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 No, I don't have an issue with recurring thematic material from the previous episodes in Jedi. I have an issue with the fact that out of the new themes, none acts as the overarching theme of the picture, because the nature of the film is very episodic: it starts with Jabba and his material, than we move to the Ewoks and their material, and only than does the Emperor's material come to the forefront.

Chen G. 3,949 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Oh, sure. Even with the Last Jedi, you can't call Rose's theme the "main theme" of the episode. But than, you have something like the lament theme, which grows out of "Across the Stars" so while it doesn't make an appearance until the midpoint, it still sounds familiar.

rough cut 1,714 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Still - omitting them skews the results. If they'd been kept within the scope @Josh500 had been able to tell if JWfaners prefered the Main Title over the Finale (or the other way around), where they rank in order to other tracks, or if some users would omit them all together - All questions that won't be answered due to this omission. Had they been kept, @Josh500 would still have been able to conclude which the other top three tracks are which wouldn't have been to shabby. To suppose that one knows the answer to a question - and change the question in regards to this bias - is an immediate way to get wrong results. I for one would not have included the Main Title in my top 5 for either TFA or TLA but perhaps others would as you point out. This is the reason why you'd want to keep the question as open as possible. Sorry for the long reply, it's a hen out of a feather. It's not my poll and I guess you can ask whichever questions you want, just giving my thoughts about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
