The first film's story was quite simple, three witches are brought back on Halloween and the main characters must stop them. I'm hoping this film doesn't try and needlessly complicate things. There's a line in the trailer that has me thinking they're going to have more witches in the present day?
I wonder if the Sisters' house is still there, or if they're going to say it was bulldozed to make way for new developments fifteen years ago?

You can add Christensen, Ahmed Best, Jake Lloyd, Rian Johnson and probably the worst of all George Lucas (Even today I still see people saying Lucas should kill himself) It's sadly a trend that keeps happening over and over again. I'll never understand why because even though I hate someone's work I won't attack the person personally.
Don't forget J.J. Abrams. JWFans' favourite punching bag.

Most retail entertainment stores sell CDs, I'm surprised you never encountered them!

Doctor Who (2005-) has an abundance of great music that will probably never see the light of day outside of their episodes.

He looked older, even under the prosthetics! I wanted him to say 'Gooooood!' at the end.
This finale was actually pretty good, a few emotional moments too. Obi-Wan telling Leia about her parents was a nice little moment I had hoped they would touch upon after the episode earlier in the season.
The score seemed more orchestral, possibly more of Ross's writing or perhaps it was Hoult? Who knows?

Vader holding the ship back was perhaps the worst offender in this show, with CGI somehow worse than the Prequels. Just bizarre all-round.

This show looks like a cheap fan film, and that's unfair to fan films; one prop on Kenobi is worth more the budget of an entire fan film. The constant use of shaky cam highlights actors in costumes in a way that cheapens everything. It's so off-putting that it brings down every good aspect of the show - and don't get me wrong, there are quite a few! Ewan McGregor and Ingram Moses are great and after a while I even grew to love Leia.
The score is so disparate too, half is obviously William Ross working with Williams' theme and the other half (Holt's stuff) is really incongruent with the Williams/Ross material.

But it could've been much more special with an old-fashioned composer.
I don't think so. What Giacchino delivered suited the film well, it cast the right tone, hit the right emotional points and had a strong main theme.

This score seems to share DNA with Tomorrowland which is nice.
Anyone know if a CD is being released?

This whole thing is fucked. Seriously, if they're going to bother with a CD release at least they should try and include what they can. Once again, all the attention goes to bloody vinyl.

In Contempt of Delacourt has some nice shades of The Lost World, it's just a shame that it was buried under loud, obnoxious sound effects.

Yeah, anime really seems to have western tv/film beat for music
There's anime scores that have an energy, inventiveness and liveliness to them that western television scores sorely lack and I blame the Zimmerites for this downfall.

It's not too long if you have the choice to skip, remove and create your own listening experience without needing a professional editing suite.
Some scores have a better narrative structure that you can listen to them from start to finish in complete form, others not so much and that's all down to the film's narrative too.
It really boils down to what I've said all along:
I'd rather have more music now than wait twenty years, complaining on a forum for some speciality label to produce it.

For those disappointed - yes, in terms of musical continuity, they dropped the ball. However, I can totally see this a studio thing and Holt is simply filling in the gaps as per directions. No one at the studios knows Williams' scores intimately enough to ask her to include themes for characters like Qui Gon or the little motif for Mustafar. They just don't care and neither do a huge swathe of the audience.

@TydiriumI would say the music was scoring the drama of the scenes that took place on those planets, not so much the textures like Shore did for LotR. Mystery and intrigue for the creation of the Clone Army on Kamino, and pounding drum fanfares for the events that surround the duel on Mustafar. Williams'music for Tatooine was really only explored in TPM and ANH that you could say was scoring the feel of the planet.

I'd say Holt's music doesn't really get much prominence, but it just sounds like background music until the Williams' theme comes in. Two episodes in isn't enough to really form much of an opinion, though I'm interested to hear what she might write outside of Williams' material.
The new Star Wars logo thing sounds Star Wars-y at least.

Some really beautiful, dark, almost minimalist qualities to some of this score, especially in the quieter cues where it's sort of gently simmering with intrigue and mystery. The synth and piano have a haunting effect together that date the score, but it's still timeless in a way only JW can make it.
I was going to track down a old copy last year and now I'm glad this has come out and given a new expanded presentation.

When is Jaws expected to come back in stock? It's been a while now...

The more I watch of this show, the more I'm convinced Spielberg didn't have nearly as much a hand in crafting it as I've heard he had.
Quotethe music was extremely disappointing too. I didn't have high hopes to begin with when they announced it was some no name generic tv composer
Sean Callery isn't some no-name composer and he's done some great things, but I do agree with you here that the music sounds like it was temped with every generic synth score ever. As a fan of Callery's work on Jessica Jones, I was hoping for some more introspective and meaty music that felt unique to Halo.

I don't understand why people don't wait until we have more information on the set before going off the rails and nixing it altogether.
If this set has something extra on the 2016 release, I'll consider picking it up, but for the time being I'm just glad that it's back in print and people who missed out will be able to pick it up!
