Just meant that the thread title you suggested actually exists: "Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out (2012)"

You were saying? https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2402600/

A good series could be made out of it for sure. Too bad it'd lose the main cast and Williams though. But still, I'm sure they could compensate. Maybe make it animated this time? So it has an excuse to maintain its book charm?

So different episodes will get different lengths now? Interesting. Does that happen often? My feeling says most streaming services still have episodes that are either 45 or 60 ish minutes or so. But then... I never did actually bother to check, so I might be all wrong. And they're re-recording the main title music? Why? Would they change it up a bit? Would the main title sequence be changed altogether now that they're on another 'network'? "Identity, Part 2" would be one of the SMALLER episodes this year? Wow! I like that they care about storytelling, but character-based storytelling. With a good sense of fun and adventure, while still having something to say. Definitely looking forward to this one making its return.

Watched the two part finale just now. I like it. Quite positive and uplifting in the end. Clearly they did make an effort on this series to do things right. And, from my side, they succeeded. It was a fun and interesting adventure to be on. I genuinely looked forward to the new episodes as they aired. And that's a good sign.

Is that a musical term...?

Indeed that was the most enjoyable of his bunch. I agree.

OotP and HBP were acceptable in my book. They annoyed me less than PoA and GoF, at least. The DH book wasn't the ending I had been hoping for. No surprise then that the movies left me underwhelmed too. Didn't help that 'epic fights' ended up as 'white lights on a black screen' and 'puffs of smoke circling each other'. Epic, that was not.

Ah! Indeed that makes so much more sense. Oops. I misread...

Season 2 was already confirmed, wasn't it? Thought they had been working on it for a while.

Pretty cool piece, that is. I like the jungley feel. Glad to find Goldsmith put quite a nice spin on it of his own. He was not very good at 'aping', was he? That Conan the Barbarian influence on Total Recall only lasted for a few seconds too, before heading off towards something completely different.

Was "Haircut" temp track love? Wow! I'm quite curious to hear the actual temp track then. Goldsmith's version is seriously powerful and works wonders in that film. Even if style-wise, it really stands out from the rest of the score. I like both Goldsmith's alternates too. That scene clearly inspires great music. Would've been curious to know what the film would've been like with the original version though.

Like... The Orville?

Thanks for checking. No surprise that it isn't what we might've hoped. But at least it's not a re-release of those 1997 expanded editions. Which means it doesn't harm our chances of getting better ones at some point. We're just right back where we started. That's all.

I avoided those so far altogether... Seems JNH is one of those 'two in one' composers. Can do REALLY well. Or really not. I wonder how much of that is on him and how much on the directors/producers...
