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.

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

Harry Potter - Live to Projection Concerts
Smeltington replied to bollemanneke's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
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 -
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.
