    Datameister got a reaction from Brando in Mark Graham just picked up a John Williams sketch and is "in a rush"! Any ideas?   
    He owns JoAnn Kane Music Service, arguably the biggest name in music preparation for films. (Music prep is the process of rapidly creating the finished sheet music based on what the composer, arranger, or orchestrator provides. In the olden days, that meant handwriting the conductor's score and every player's part. Now it's accomplished with software like Finale or Sibelius.)

    You claim the discussion is boring, but what examples have you cited to substantiate this claim?
     
    I submit that your inability to derive enjoyment from this discussion stems from a fundamental misreading of Star Wars and an inability to grasp its contextual subtleties.
     
    But what do you think this discussion means?

    Ironclad confirmation that most Star Wars fans understand exactly what Star Wars is about. The literal words have definitions, and the definitions come together to create meaning, and the meaning is irrefutable fact.

    Dude … props to you for your craft. Working the common misuse of "comprised" into a holier-than-thou lecture on paying attention to the definitions of words? Masterstroke.

    For the love of all that’s good and holy,  NO-ONE tell Mattris this. We’ll never hear the end of it. In italics.

    Yes, Kathleen Kennedy said, "... George initially set out to do with a kind of three act saga with these three trilogies". But what comes next won't be 'backtracking'. Along with the rest of the Star Wars fandom, you'll realize that the story was always heading in this direction. Those responsible made sure to say and do enough to keep their audience distracted from their real plans.
     
     
    Things, such as?
     
     
    You should also know that combinations of words yield meaning. (That's how authors can convey grander intent and substance within their stories... even across multiple volumes, across multiple decades.) Perhaps you'd be better served to assess the words of Star Wars instead of criticizing mine.
     
     
    Did you get anything out of the prequels? The backstory provided by Obi-Wan should have be cautionary to Luke Skywalker and the audience. But no, the movies clearly showed that Luke became a hero from humble beginnings. And a few years after he started his journey, he was victorious! What an inspirational story!
     
    Honestly, I don't think you've made sense of anything. Mark my words, so many assumptions will come back to haunt you.

    This is so cool. Notice that JW does call for "drs", i.e. drums, i.e. snare or field drums, along with the timpani. I always wondered about that, since you pretty much just hear timpani in the ANH recording. There isn't any (audible) snare drum until later recordings.

    Datameister got a reaction from bollemanneke in Hans Zimmer's influence on himself   
    Zimmer is an extremely green composer - he recycles everything. I'm no hater...I actually like some of his stuff quite a bit. But every one of his scores has very significant similarities to other scores he's written, often with passages copied almost verbatim. Doesn't help that he uses very distinctive synth sounds, either - those will make two scores sound a lot more similar than just using the same acoustic instruments.
