What was your first encounter with Jerry Goldsmith?
Datameister replied to GerateWohl's topic in General Discussion
I wish I could remember. I guess his Trek theme's use in TNG would have been an early one; I didn't see TMP until a little later. I did see Planet of the Apes as a kid but the music didn't make much of an impression on me at the time. (Don't worry, I love it as an adult!) Soarin' Over California definitely caught my attention, as did his Universal logo. And I did have a compilation album that included Alien and Gremlin. I probably didn't realize how much standing JG had with fans until I joined this community in the mid or late aughts. From there, my appreciation slowly grew, although there's still a large portion of his work I haven't heard. Oh, and for the record, I do not view the TMP theme as a Star Wars knockoff in any way. It conjures very different emotions/images for me, and I can't point to any objective commonalities beyond "loud orchestral main theme in one or more major keys, featuring trumpets or violins on a triplet-heavy melody." That's hardly unique to SW. -

No, he's saying it was the Force's plan. It wanted Vader to catch Luke. In the fourth trilogy, the Force itself will be revealed as the true villain behind everything bad that's ever happened in SW. The peoples of the galaxy will have to rise up and go to war with their own midi-chlorians. (That end battle was sure tricky to shoot, back in 2018.)

Zekeckis is an akazing kan, omay? Don't kame fun.
-
@Mattris Copy that. Looking forward to that midi-chlorian trilogy bringing us to your plane of enlightenment, God whilling.
-
If Zekeckis ever sells BTTF to Disney, we could make a Disenchantment Under the Sea Thread... EDIT: Well that's just too funny a misspelling to correct.

Just to make sure I'm tracking … you're suggesting that this isn't made clear by Yoda in that very scene? "Through the Force, things you will see. Other places. The future, the past. Old friends long gone. … It is the future you see."

He owns JoAnn Kane Music Service, arguably the biggest name in music preparation for films. (Music prep is the process of rapidly creating the finished sheet music based on what the composer, arranger, or orchestrator provides. In the olden days, that meant handwriting the conductor's score and every player's part. Now it's accomplished with software like Finale or Sibelius.)

I gotta admit, this is one of Mattris's less entertaining detours. I expect better.

"You catch on pretty quick." -Ric Olié Ironclad confirmation that most Star Wars fans understand exactly what Star Wars is about. The literal words have definitions, and the definitions come together to create meaning, and the meaning is irrefutable fact.

Dude … props to you for your craft. Working the common misuse of "comprised" into a holier-than-thou lecture on paying attention to the definitions of words? Masterstroke.

How wonderful would it be to get an album of JW's Star Wars music written or adapted for the parks? You could include: Star Tours 2.0 queue (Ross) Star Tours 2.0 queue (Giacchino) Original Star Tours ride music (Bellis) Original Star Tours exit music (Bellis) Hyperspace Mountain (Ross) Galaxy's Edge (JW's suite) Galaxy's Edge lightsaber building music (Ross) Galaxy's Edge entrance music (Kerber) Any other Galaxy's Edge recordings by Ross (e.g. for the rides and show moments) Disneyland Band SW medley There's got to be more. Maybe the main theme excerpt as recorded for Remember...Dreams Come True? Anyway, I'd buy it!
