I also wonder how affordable a lossless digital download would be for a set like that. Would they charge nearly the same price as they would for a physical set?

Maybe everyone will hate me, but they could just go digital. Why the hell not!

Who says the petition failed?? Although, Disney probably have a policy by now of ignoring all fan petitions related to Star Wars Mike def knows we want Star Wars, and Indy. There's no way he wouldn't pursue any possible avenues that could lead to expansions. I don't think we need to worry about him at all.

Adventures of Mutt has been fun all these years, but it would be amazing to hear anything else from Crystal Skull live! Is "Crystal Spell" a cue title?

How many levels of emboss?

Not sure if this is an insult to Williams, or a compliment?

I can think of two options: - Remove 100 other Aznavour CDs to make room - Remove 100 Roy Orbison CDs to make room Obviously removing any John Williams CDs is not an option, let alone 100 of them.

A box set that literally comes in an actual box! That's cool.

Two performances of The Force Awakens this September at Symphony Hall in Boston! https://www.bso.org/events/star-wars-the-force-awakens?performance=2024-09-05-19:30

Not exactly LTP, but the Boston Pops have a Harry Potter concert coming up this year that looks very exciting! "A Grand Suite from Harry Potter" on Sept 7 and 8. No program listed yet, but it mentions it's John Williams' music, so hopefully that means the concert suites from all three of the films he scored, and maybe some extra material from the score like they included in Boston Pops' Star Wars concert last year. https://www.bso.org/events/a-grand-suite-from-harry-potter?performance=2024-09-07-19:30

Good thought, maybe he had that connection in mind. And glad you did your homework on that one! It's a good score, and the suite is a very satisfying souvenir from it.

It just felt like it got chucked out there, with interest in the films kind of instantly dying upon the release of TROS, and Williams not even including the music in his concerts. It felt like even more of a crime given how good the score turned out to be. I'll enjoy seeing it reconsidered and given the attention it deserves in your book. And that goes for the whole ST and the PT too, since the OT has had way more written about it than the other 6. Probably because the OT will always be "classic" and the others will never be taken nearly as seriously. But since we're here to talk about the scores and not the films, obviously they ARE classics and deserve the royal treatment! You'll have some work to do trying to figure out the musical storytelling in the ST though. It's hard to be sure what Williams intended given the ever-changing cuts of the JJ films, or whether he was able to maintain a consistent vision at all.

haha I'm getting the italics in italics too! I've never seen this level of emphasis before...

What happens if you take the "italic" unicode characters and make them italic?

Love it! This score deserves some attention! Although it'll be harder to unravel its mysteries than most, given what's available to us. Wow the italics are even showing up in the thread url. Never seen that before.
