Because it's edgy, non-thematic and is produced by the only female composer nominee.
It’s thematic in that there’s fragments and outright statements of a theme for the Joker all over the score... -

I saw David Arnold reply to a tweet saying that he only received his TRoS FYC yesterday... whether that was referring to just the DVD of the film, I don’t know... but it might be hopeful!

It’s just occurred to me that the “concert ending” of The Speeder Chase, after the mad trumpet section reminiscent of The Adventures of Han.... is really similar to the ending of The Adventures of Han suite itself... anyone else hearing this?

ahem
Hey Holko, could you link your playlist here too? -
(It’s not hacked to bits)

And why did Palps order Kylo to kill Rey at the start of the film? It really is nonsensical

I can't choose, I absolutely love HTTYD3 and TRoS... Voting HTTYD3 because reasons...

If I'd never seen Peter Cushing in my life, my reaction would have been, "Who's the random dude with the CG face?"
Leia looked great for, like, a split second as she was turning around. In profile, I totally bought it. But the jig was up as soon as I got a good look at her, just like with Tarkin.
Again, not dissing the insane amount of highly skilled artistry that goes into something like this. It just turns out that making a 100% convincing full-motion closeup shot of a computer-generated human face is just about the hardest thing a visual effects artist could try to do.
I’m surprised that the majority of Paul Walker shots in F&F7 are so good - they easily beat Tarkin in Rogue One for me -

And even unpolished deepfake composites still manage to look more convincing than really bad de-aging work, to my eyes.
Taking this thumbnail as an example, all deepfakes are ridiculously low-res - this probably allows them to look fairly okay, but compare the skin details - there’s no way anyone would approve of that, on the right, for the big screen -

Perhaps Williams originally scored it with the Victory theme, and this is a re-write JJ requested. Who knows.
I have a really vague feeling about reading a statement where JJ said that he never told JW what to write for any point in the film... does anyone else recall this? Seems like it would be relevant to this discussion... -

Sure.
Only then somehow (I still don't know how) Chewie survived.
He was on a different transport -

I'm not into paying twenty quid to go and see a movie which has no surprises. To me it's a waste of money and around three hours of my day. I'm not like Drax, who has all the time in the world when he's not sitting around twiddling his thumbs.
I'll wait for this to show up on Netflix instead.
And if my militant stance on spoilers bewilders everyone here enough already, wait until they find out how much it impacts and eradicates any desire in me to explore an attached musical score. I won't listen to John Williams' final soundtrack now, or at least I won't for many months (or whenever it is that I eventually bother to see the film). Might be years or it might be never.
Twenty quid, what are you doing wrong? It was £5.80 at our local Vue! -
It’s certainly not used in the film, it sounds very much like a concert arrangement to me
-
Anthem of Evil, surely

And at the end of the end credits of TLJ, IIRC?

As someone who didn’t particularly like The Last Jedi when I first saw it, but came to appreciate it more on subsequent viewings, I absolutely loved Knives Out both times I’ve seen it.
But I saw this yesterday, and thought it was really weak, seemingly scripted poorly and possibly executed even worse, which is unusual for JJ. It felt like a long film which was hacked down in the editing room, and some scenes were laughably bad.
Current thoughts:
TFA - 8/10
TLJ - 7/10
TRoS - 5/10
-
Or JW shuffling the OST order around

No, but it's a good example of a bigger truth that withstands the test of time. Whereas the dreaded Di$ney diversity and gender bullshit - hooray for political correctness at any cost, even at the risk of self-parody - will date their movies much faster.
Does it truly trigger you when you see people who aren’t white men on the big screen? If any politics are a bit ham-fisted in the ST, it’s the rich Canto Bight stuff in TLJ rather than any “diversity and gender bullshit” -
I’m all for a topless Poe, but I don’t see Chen complaining about *him* having lost his masculinity for being sWaMpEd In ClOtHeS.

28 minutes ago, Chen G. said:Yeah, I really like Rey, but she’s the kind of “strong female character” who is “strong” by virtue of being stripped of a lot of her femininity, having been swamped in clothes and lacking any romantic attachment to another character.
I mean, look at Wonder Woman. That character was no less a strong female character for being presented as sexually desirable to the audience (that corset!), to the characters in the film, and engaging romantically with one of them, herself.
I mean, holy fuck, since when does femininity boils down to lack of clothing, being sexually desirable to the audience and characters, and romantic attachment?! Yikety yikes...- Yavar Moradi, Giftheck and Holko

I suppose nothing will come up if you Shazam a microedited section of any of these tracks

Other than this I didn’t find any different track titles than the ones on the FYC. It didn’t recognize anything from Falcon Flight and Parents which is kind of weird.
That’s really, really strange... -
Could someone try the other tracks? I’m willing to bet this’ll only find stuff from the OST, so we might be able to discover roughly what’ll be on the OST, what’ll not be, etc

They don’t have Silm rights, and IIRC their agreement with the Tolkien Society has a strict caveat that they don’t contradict anything in any of the books they can use as source material (LotR, possibly Unfinished Tales if rumours are to be believed).
This makes it highly likely that they’ll fabricate many characters and events to avoid such contradictions. But I’d like to be proved wrong!
