Possible Temp Track for The Force Awakens?

[The Illustrious Jerry 3,356]

@Jay I was not sure where to post this, so if you would like to merge it some place go ahead.

 

The beginning of this track from The Phantom Menace Ultimate Edition (the first five seconds) are pretty much the same as the first five seconds of I'm No Hero off the FYC for the Force Awakens.

There's nothing wrong with starting a new thread, but this is something that's been pointed out many times before in the 2 1/2 years it's been since this score came out.

Thank you Jay. Sorry, looks like I'm late again.

Finn's Confession seems to have the Talk of Podracing/High Council Meeting music from TPM.

Interestingly a hint of the lovely melody from Talk of Podracing from Episode I makes a sneak appearance in the middle of the film. Who would have thought.

Oooo wait a tic, there's a definite Phantom Menace vibe to the beginning of Finn's Confession.

It's from Talk of Podracing

For example, the talk of podracing in finn's confession...yeah it's more note by note blatant, but makes no sense thematically.

Its a discussion (like in Talk of Podracing and The Queen Confronts Nute and Rune), and its a confrontation (like in The Queen Confronts Nute and Rune)

So it's a "confrontational discussion" theme!

i dont think that williams did it consciously...

Also its appearance in Talk of Podracing play when Qui-Gon's "cover is blown" on being a Jedi Knight, just like it plays in TFA when Finn reveals that he was a Stormtrooper.

it's a strech.

I am more interested to know how that curious little melody from Talk of Podracing made its way to Finn's Confession theme-wise and if there is indeed any conscious subtext there beyond perhaps temp-tracking.

Concerning the Talk of Podracing quote in Finn's Confession, that's a real puzzle. Outside of that music always accompanying conversations, I see no connection. I wonder if JW just wanted a small quote of prequel music and liked that music.

Also, I have this strange feeling that Williams will bring back the "Finn's Confession/Talk of Podracing" melody at some point in the film.

the worse rippoff was in TFA with the Talk of Podracing copy. nothing as bad in TLJ

I'm sure there's a fairly benign reason why "Talk of Podracing" randomly shows up in Force Awakens too, by the way. Again, maybe that was in the temp and he and JJ looked at each other and went "That's kinda nice!" Once I got past that initial anxiety of "WHY?!?!?!" it really is just a small and sweet way to blend it in with the prequels, even if it's for no particular reason.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Faleel calls it the "Discussion and Confrontation" theme in his big Star Wars theme list:

March of the Resistance was probably temp-tracked with The Banquet.

Jesus freaking Christ Jay... talk about the thread police!    (the quotes, not the new thread)

 

Although it makes for easy reading....

 

 

[Drew 590]

It's at the beginning of "Finn's Confession" (obviously). I would consider that more JW trying to find a parallel between this and the prequels than temp tracking.

... What?

[Richard Penna 3,690]

I was referring to the billion quotes included in your post.

[Jay 37,364]

Providing information is thread policing?  I don't think you know what that term means.

I found that very helpful actually.

Possibly not. I just found it really funny that you gathered so many quotes... I think you're taking my reaction a little seriously

[The Illustrious Jerry 3,356]

Oh.
