You could be right. Lord knows I've done that before. But I dunno, I get real strong troll vibes. Always have. I mean, how could anyone argue with a straight face that the code name Trixie is evidence of an Episode X? As if it's possible to construct a word that contains "IX" without including "X"? C'mon. 🤣

I'm pretty sure Lucasfilm exists. 

How can it simultaneously be so fun and so irritating to read one person's posts? 

This thread just makes me so happy. 🤣
 
Partial list of Star Wars themes containing rising/falling minor thirds:
 
Imperial motif Jawa theme Rebel fanfare Han and Leia's theme Imperial March Yoda's theme Jabba's theme Ewok theme Qui-Gon's theme Across the Stars Separatists' theme Poe's theme Maybe, if we're truly lucky, Mattris will someday reveal to us how Darth Sidious created Yoda, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Poe Dameron. After all, it's right there in their themes. YOU'D HAVE TO BE AN IDIOT TO MISS IT.

If I ever end up writing a book series or a TV show or any kind of long-term creative project, I hope I end up with an audience full of people just like you. I'll never be able to do anything wrong!
 
 
 
 
Mattris, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that most of the posters in this thread don't actually want you to concede/eventually see the light/whatever. People are just egging you on because they find your endless stream of insane theories hilarious. But don't take my word for it. Use your expert deducting skills on the evidence available to you, primarily, the literal words of the Disenchantment thread canon. And if that's not enough search your feelings. You know it to be true.

I was not going to reveal this now, but what the heck: I've discovered that John Williams re-uses notes from both his own and other composers' compositions all the time.

i love this thread
 

The original AOTC finale, before the Imperial March insert. If we can't listen to it on Earth, at least let the aliens enjoy it.

That's an extraordinary generalization. The reality is that Lucasfilm comprises people who live and breathe Star Wars, people with a casual appreciation for Star Wars, people who want to interrogate or deconstruct or reshape Star Wars, people who are in it to grow their existing wealth, people who are in it for fame and prestige, people who are just trying to put food on the table, etc., etc.—and people with multiple reasons for being there.
 
Similar things could be said for the other groups you mentioned. People are complicated. The likelihood of a group of 10 people having identical motivations is low. For groups of hundreds or thousands, the likelihood is effectively zero, particularly when different people within the group were chosen for different reasons in the first place.

Desert Chase from the Raiders OST.

The Trip to Earth! Not only do I like it, but it would also help promote tourism.

Well there's no accounting for taste. 😉 After all, even a pile of shit can make for a pretty entertaining scene!

And don't forget that his (purported) interpretation of things is shockingly optimistic compared to most conspiracy theories.
 
Lucasfilm has spent the last 50 years methodically deceiving the public in order to … help us eventually derive more enjoyment and meaning from their films! It's actually kind of sweet!

If we're talking continuations of existing IPs, my primary exposures right now are Star Wars, Indy, and the MCU.
 
There's been a non-stop stream of Star Wars since 2015, with widely varying quality. The main saga had a really flat ending. The TV series had an impressive start but they've become more and more focused on bringing past Filoni creations to live action, and I've just never been able to bring myself to care about any of those.
 
There has emphatically not been a non-stop stream of Indy. The one new entry gave our hero an inexplicably gloomy, depressing sendoff. I preferred the ending of KOTCS. No joke.
 
I've never been waaaay into the MCU, but I thought everything up through Endgame came together really, really nicely. Now I've fallen behind and lost interest as the stories splinter off into a staggering multitude of multiverses and unrelated origin stories.
 
It's hard to keep a good thing going. There have always been far more sequels that sucked than ones that didn't. The studios that survive are the ones that turn a profit, so they've always had incentive to focus on that. And there's still awesome new original stuff from recent years anyway, e.g. Everything Everywhere All at Once.
 
But the industry is also going through some big upheavals, so who knows what the next decade or two of film will bring.
 
Film music has largely been in a slump for years now. It's sad but there's still a lot of older stuff I haven't listened to yet.

What does it mean to you? And what doesn’t? And if it doesn’t, why? And why not? So just tell me. Why? And why not? That is the question. Star Wars. The Force. Force Wars. Star Force. The. Why. ?

They actually followed his instructions for the new trilogy to the letter:
 

Oh, he's almost certainly trolling. But the Mattris character is an entertaining one, and the commitment to the bit is pretty impressive. 

And don't forget that he said the same thing about TROS before it came out. It was going to blow people's socks off, receive universal acclaim, unite the fans, make TFA and TLJ suddenly gel together, reveal the secret truth of the saga's hidden meaning, etc., etc. He likes to bring up his track record of predictions that came true, which is admittedly pretty impressive … if you leave out the ones that didn't.
 
I'm still waiting for the big reveal that the Jawas were created by Palpatine. Their theme starts with an upward jump of a minor third, just like Rey's and Palpatine's. It's also going to be super cool to see the next Jurassic Park film reveal that the dinosaurs were robots all along, as JW cleverly foreshadowed by starting their theme with the same three notes that start the droids' theme from ESB. The evidence is overwhelming.
