But I was thinking yet again yesterday about how much it would help to have more indigenous Batuuan music floating through the different areas. You could even have a little musical group come out from time to time...it would be a fun challenge to create instruments that were playable but looked and sounded a little alien. _deleted_ and igger6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igger6 894 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 It sounds like Disney really pooed the scrooch on the musical front in Galaxy's Edge. What a stunning missed opportunity. I don't buy the realism argument, because Indiana Jones, Jack Sparrow, Winnie the Pooh, Woody, Belle, and the freaking Carnotaurus from Dinosaur can't hear their own themes, either, but they get scored to death in their respective themed areas, and rightly so. Theme parks are about illusion, about using cinematic tools in four-dimensional reality, and music has been an intrinsic component of every successful themed environment for decades. It's mind-boggling to me that whoever's serving the Kool-Aid at Imagineering these days could get everyone to buy into this kind of an epic philosophical whiff.

It's mind-boggling to me that whoever's serving the Kool-Aid at Imagineering these days could get everyone to buy into this kind of an epic philosophical whiff. The comparison to other Disney stories is largely irrelevant, because the aims here were different. Disneyland has always acknowledged its theme-park-ness in its design; the goal has never been that you 100% believe you're actually in a medieval village or old New Orleans or what have you. The environments are strongly immersive, but they also exist as part of a larger, explicitly constructed Disneyland reality. For better or for worse, the goal was to do something different with Galaxy's Edge - to hide the theme-park-ness wherever possible. I think that's a valid goal (even though I wish it were a whole separate park). The question, then, is how you avoid that slightly desolate why-is-there-no-music feeling without just blasting random themes and underscore everywhere. I still think that would have been a miss. My solution: Fairly upbeat diegetic music in most parts of the land, perhaps incorporating references to existing themes The aforementioned live musical group (and/or a few solo musicians) More outdoor show-style moments utilizing orchestral scoring Create a Star Wars music track to accompany the fireworks Get Rise of the Resistance open, since I'm sure it'll involve lots of music, and more audibly than with Smuggler's Run, where you have to be able to hear Hondo's instructions Maybe add appropriate orchestral music to a few spots like Dok-Ondar's and First Order Cargo - places that have a distinct mood There are so many ways to tastefully and strategically get more music in there without just resorting to an endless land-wide loop of Rey's theme, The Asteroid Field, the end credits, etc., etc. [EDIT: That being said, if they were to go to orchestral area BGM, my vote would be to only include it in the areas controlled by the Resistance and the First Order, and to have different loops for each, featuring new arrangements/recordings of material associated with those factions. Then you could stick to the source music in the marketplace and just sound effects elsewhere. Maybe another loop for the awe-inspiring views of the Falcon.] P.S. @Dieter Stark did you catch the fact that the music for the land's entrances is all variations on the symphonic suite?

Faleel 5,340 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Obviously JW should have wrote a theme for every individual who enters the park, since it's not Star Wars without the main character having a theme. crumbs and Jurassic Shark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,499 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 How about you consruct your own theme from many many prerecorded elements and it follows you around the park via security cameras and speakers?

Off the top of my head, there's some music inside and outside Docking Bay 7, the Ross arrangements in Savi's Workshop, the land entrance music (your "jingling noises"), the scoring on Smuggler's Run, the cantina, and eventually the scoring in Rise of the Resistance. So the land definitely isn't entirely devoid of music...it just has too many areas within it that are. Fortunately, theme parks are far more fluid and changeable than film, so there's nothing stopping Disney from adding more music at some point. I wouldn't be surprised. I just hope it ends up being emotionally appropriate and not too repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,037 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I feel like there have already been some tweaks...I'm in the land right now, hearing the music from the cantina playing in more places outside than I ever noticed before. I also heard some other music over by Savi's workshop that I hadn't noticed before. Maybe I'm just getting more observant...or maybe they're already adding more music? Not sure. I do wish the music could be louder in Smuggler's Run. Even when you're listening specifically for it, it can be hard to pick stuff out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind that they're surrounded by fat sweaty hillbillies that wash themselves with a rag on a stick, no aliens or robots and some props parked next to rocks and stores selling overpriced junk to geeks and it really feels nothing like Star Wars.
