    THE LAST JEDI - OST Album MUSIC Discussion (No Movie Spoilers)

    I know this is a bit off-topic, but: I've thought about this a lot, and I tend to believe that the use of Leia's theme at that moment does actually make good sense, and I wouldn't be surprised if JW consciously and deliberately made the choice.

    From Luke's perspective, his guide on this adventure and the person who he has the closest emotional relationship has just perished - and immediately following this realization, Luke's heart may abruptly shift its emotional neediness onto Leia. As if there's a immediate subconscious refocusing of his hopes and needs onto this other person. Happens in real-world human emotional trauma, as a safety mechanism: following a loss, pin your needs on the next-closest/dearest friend/family member.

    Was JW thinking that deeply into the moment? Maybe. I don't know. But he's clever and thoughtful enough, especially at the peak of his career.

     

    Williams himself admitted the Princess theme was simply working better than anything else he threw at the scene. It doesn't always have to make sense.

    I cannot say anything as I haven't seen the movie yet. But the movie seems to have so many more characters (minus Han Solo) it was probably better to create less new themes and go with established ones. The flow of the album is much much better than TFA which was constantly starting and stopping and micro-mickey-mousing every silly detail instead of going into something simpler, but more effective.

    Without having seen the film yet - I guess this is pretty much a first as far as multiple themes are used for so many characters in one movie.

    We have the themes for Leia, Han and Luke (including relationship themes), and the new themes for the new characters - playing side by side!

    I think this has never been done before on that scale, with so many characters and their individual themes - and the old themes on top of it which are less character related.

    I believe we're still listening to the top of the iceberg, and that the real score is much more complex.

    John Williams has a pacemaker!

    For your information:


    Pacemaker implantation doesn't require open heart surgery. The wires are typically inserted through a vein. The wires are connected to the battery, which is implanted through a small incision in the skin. A risk of bleeding persists in the first few weeks after the op. The doctor will advise the patient to avoid heavy lifting and excess motion of the arm on the side where the pacemaker was placed to help minimize bleeding and keep the device in place as you heal.


    You grow up thinking these giants are kinda immortal... Obviously they aren't. Nobody is. Let's hope everything went fine. But things are going to be slower from now on for JW.
