Pellaeon 593 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It’s a bit like a sped up Imperial March, isn’t it? That might suggest it belongs to Finn rather than being generic action “running away” music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Is this the one in Follow Me of TFA and also appears in the Jedi Steps and Finale after Kylo Ren's Theme? If so, I always thought it was nice chase music, running away and stuff. Never really looked at it as Finn's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 2,032 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I do not see the resemblance between the two themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It sounds like more John channeling Jerry and Bartók, what with the compound 6/8 + 5/8 meter and inverted quartal triads leaping and bounding about the place. Finn Rambo. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 It sounds like Bill Conti's Masters of the Universe score. Around the 3 minute mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUlyssesian 2,477 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I think it's been established now that it isn't really his theme right? Absolutely all new character themes returned in 8 indicating this wasn't Finn's theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,949 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Yep. It’s just a recurring ostinato for the more kinetic action scenes in the film. It just so happens that these scenes tend to include Finn being scared out of his mind. Docteur Qui 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan 689 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I've always wondered what happened to Finn's theme. John Boyega talked about it, and I seem to recall he specifically related hearing it to the moment where Finn removes his helmet, before Phasma appears. I can't find the interview where he mentions that scene yet but I'll link it if I do... To be clear, I'm not saying that his theme appears there in the final film. I'm wondering what Boyega heard, and was it later replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
