FINALLY! 😊👍

I see this arrangement as such a surprising gift. It’s not like anyone was looking forward to it, simply because nobody knew it was coming. Williams is well over 80 years old. He doesn’t have to write these things, but he keeps doing it. Disappointing is really not the appropriate word to use I feel.

Wish I could... 😞

Probably. 
 
I think the music actually sounds very much alike the march we heard last year during the Verizon (?) commercial that turned out to be a mystery... It certainly wasn’t part of the TLJ score. Same composer?

As you can read on one of the first pages, I confirmed it was Williams’ music long before it became fact. 
 
I checked with the same source, but he can/will not confirm it’s Williams this time.

He also plays piano on that cue on the album.

@BrendanT1993 soitenly!
 

I was born in the year of Jaws, discovered Star Wars at the age of 5, just after the release of ESB I guess. Saw ROTJ when it came out on the big screen when I was 8 years old. Star Wars -and the music of John Williams- has always been part of my life and it will be until the day I die. 

They stumbled with their second album, but I dig everything else.
 
If you like Marcus Mumford you should also check out his work as part of The New Basement Tapes.
 
 

Currently into Mumford & Sons. Their latest album Delta is great imo. The last 2 minutes of The Wild are really cinematic and epic, so anyone willing to listen to the whole 5 minute+ song won't be disappointed I think. 
 
 

At first I found it very similar to Agnes Of God, but after having listened to both pieces occasionally for a couple of years now, I find that The Face Of Pan clearly has its own, unique melodic core and its own story to tell. Influenced? Of course. Copy? No.

It’s certainly a masterpiece, even if it doesn’t reach the heights of what many consider ‘the true John Williams’ classics’.
 
I find War Horse so well infused with melody and themes, all of which get a moment to shine in The Homecoming, one of Williams’ finest suites.
 
It’s a top 15 score for me and my favorite since the first Harry Potter.

For me; Seven Years In Tibet. I find the opening suite to be one of John Williams' most powerful works. It's the theme I return to more than any other from his 1997 output.

Two new sets for the Original Trilogy,
 
First set is using the gorgeous artwork by Nicolas Alejandro Barbera:



 
Second set uses the fantastically simply art of Adam Faniszlo:

The song is great and so was the film actually. 

The Football Game from Sleepers
1960’s - The Turbulant Years from Nixon
No Man’s Land from War Horse

Lyrics by Leslie B.

It's a little known fact that John Williams actually composed that opening theme song.

This video explains quite a bit about newsgroups! 
 
 

 
It's mainly that. AOTC is a great score, with an incredibly strong love theme and the single greatest cue from the entire PT: Confrontation with Count Dooku and Finale.

SPR ‘easily’ PG-13? Did you ever see it?

This one's essential!
