I still think there’s a good chance the whole film will be scrapped. It’s been in talks and in the works for years. It’s as if Disney isn’t very confident about the success and\or interest of this franchise, even with Ford involved.

Assuming Indy 5 is still happening, on schedule and Williams is still willing, he could start working on it later this year.

Would be nice if Williams pulled a Book Thief type of scenario this year but it's highly unlikely. I'm not looking forward any scores this year. There was a time when I got excited about a new Elfman score but not anymore. I'm hoping there will be expanded releases to get excited about. Looks like a busy year for Zimmer, though. Out of the ones he doing, Dune peaks my interest the most.

TROS definitely deserved the nom. If Disney had promoted the score more and made more of a to-do about this being Williams last SW film after 40+ years, he could have a chance to win. Disney really dropped the ball on this one when I think he could have had a good chance at winning. The winner will likely be Joker, though.

Nominations are announced today, right?

There was barely any time for the KOR as it is. Johnson should have utilized them in TLJ.

Not the best pic of Daisy and Williams. She looks bored out of her mind.

While the TROS music is excellent, it has very little presence and impact in the film... which is what really killed Williams' chances of winning. And it doesn't help that the film wasn't well received, either. He'll no doubt be nominated since the music branch probably recognizes its brilliance outside of the film.

If TLJ was nominated, then TROS will be nominated. TLJ wasn’t exactly well received either. Plus, it’s an excellent Williams score which has already been recognized since it made the short list.

It's a meh from me. In regards to the score, I place it above TLJ but still below TFA. Maybe the future expansions of the scores will change my opinion.

So how is Scherzo for X-Wings any different from this aside from the name? Did Williams write that as a film cue or a concert arrangement that Abrams decided to use in the film? The film version has its differences but I’m not sure if those are just inserts recorded at a later date or what.

It would be great if Williams performed this at a concert. I wish it had more of a concert sounding name though... like Heroic Adventures or something like that.

Well, if the FYC is any indication...

I really can't believe they removed most of that music from the film but that's why it wasn't included on the FYC. Little did we know at the time that Abrams was still tinkering with the film after they released the first clip.

3:17 to 3:27... I love this little rendition.
