1M4a is here

I'll add links to the official website here when it gets added there.

Basically the same for "Quidditch, Third Year", I  think. 

And now 7m4 
 
 

I've always been more of a John Williams fan than a Star Wars fan, so Star Wars is kinda just back to how I was thinking of it between 2005 and 2015, which is not much. Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back are great movies. The rest of the saga I mostly enjoy thinking about as pop culture objects and remembering for their best music moments, not really as favorite movies. Although I have especially fun memories seeing Revenge of the Sith and Force Awakens the first time...I actually saw both again in a theater this summer and they're still a blast on a big screen but with diminishing returns since their premieres. 
 
I've also seen Rogue One, Solo, Mandalorian 1-2, and Obi-Wan, none of which live "rent free" in my head as the kids say, unlike the saga movies (yeah, even Rise of Skywalker.) I am somewhat curious about Andor given the raves, but it sounds more interesting as a Tony Gilroy thing than a Star Wars thing. 

I found this kinda neat. During the second half of the chase when the Tuk Tuk gets sandwiched between the two cars, the percussion (bongos?) from earlier picks up again, but you can't hear it in the film at all. In fact as far as I can tell they appear to be completely muted in the front and center channels.

EDIT: Also in the same cue, gee this sounds awfully familiar...

“Another legendary composer, Gustavo Dudamel”  
 
Newspeople crack me up.

John Williams duelling with Dudamel and stepping onto to the podium next to him and “co-conducting” The Imperial March is simply amazing, hilarious and charming at the same time.
 
It’s so great to see that Williams at 91 is having the time of his life, enjoying every second of it. What a living LEGEND.

Wonderful article just published in the NY Times, and written by @Falstaft! Check it out!

Is it playing off of a record? I’m not that familiar with Beethoven so I don’t know what the 1st movement of the 5th Symphony sounds like, but is it just playing in the background then? Also if it is, kinda strange IMDb doesn’t have it listed there. 

apologies if this has already been talked about, but are these couple of notes the TLC Nazi motif:
 
 
 
Also is that motif in other parts of the film?

I know it’s mentioned a lot, but I’m not sure we really recognise how incredible it is that this music was written and mostly conducted by a 90 year old man. Most people his age are either dead or not eating solid foods. I know we have some legitimate complaints about the album presentation, use of older themes etc, but how many other 90 year olds are active and working, let alone writing a cue like “To Athens”. It is an astonishing achievement whatever you think of the soundtrack. Just listen to the orchestrations in “Tuk Tuk to Tangiers”. A man who statistically should be dead sat down at his piano and came up with that. I remember back in 2015 when we all freaked out because he’d pulled out of writing music for Bridge of Spies and 8 years later he’s conducting at the premiere of the 5th Indiana Jones movie. Blessed we be.

Love this bad guy material from 3:20-3:37!
 
 
(It also shows up at 3:12 in the prologue suite.)

the ending of Germany, 1944......THE RAIDERS CODA!!!!!   
 
 

FUN 
 
 

Fun stuff 
 
 

Alright,read the 3 pages and to summarise the movie is mediocre but JW's score is great and mixed loud. Sounds good enough to me. 

I wonder how the theory will change once this film inevitably doesn't use TROS-recorded music...

WAIT A MINUTE
 
Is this the Episode X we were promised in the Disenchantment thread? 

I'm thrilled to have the TPM UE. As you said, much better than nothing.
