"And then he said, 'I know, but they're all dead'!"

I don't think Williams' piece is particularly timeless. It's a fine piece in and of itself, but generally feels outdated. It's also a very US-centric piece. I can't imagine such a wildly bombastic theme, as if a remnant from an 80s adventure film, would go over particularly well in non-US countries, and certainly not in Norway.
 
I think Röyksopp's music for NRK is by far the best logo music we've ever had for news in this country.

That one's disappointing in its tameness and felt outdated from the first day it aired. Perhaps it would have been better if they had updated their samples library since the 90s.
 
JW's take on the genre, on the other hand, has quite a timeless quality to it, no doubt partially due to the use of a real orchestra.

I read an early script for it.  Indy has given up and moved to a remote island to die.  The real hero comes to talk sense into him.  Meanwhile, Indy's son Mutt has gone evil and spends half the movie using his army to chase down three cars that never exceed 20mph.  It is mind-blowing stuff.
 
Oh, and Indy dies at the end of fatigue. 

Ugh why did Jim feed JW the same boring line about writing with pencil and paper? JW's spoken on this subject so many times already.
Edit: JW pretty much confirmed that he wants Ep 9 to be his last SW score. He said "9 will be quite enough for me, and Disney will probably want to take it further." And JW doesn't believe what Kylo Ren said about Rey's parents. He hopes Ep 9 will reveal who her parents really are. 

FYI he's been making that Nimbus 2000/wand/broomstick mixup for literally years lol, I wouldn't read anything into that!

I had to find this.
 

Williams: Daisy, surely you can find a better suitor than I?
Ridley: I know, but they're all dead!

Is Setting the Type going to be a Home Alone-style orchestra and synth drum pad montage cue?

Frankly, I'm gobsmacked Williams has broken with tradition and not called his credits suite Untitled Track 20 and Finale.
