Modern day Los Angeles is 30 years behind us?

gonna be honest, I think it's pretty important for Snape's character for him to look sallow and pale as he should look like a borderline vampire shut-in that doesn't get any sun

Isn't that how transcription is usually done? Or does Mick have the habit of transcribing by nose?

Two of the things, that I criticise about current star wars the most started somehow already in The Clone Wars series:
give away purpose and emotional impact by bringing back dead characters  don't waste creativity on otherworldliness and let things just look like current earth today Just the related degree of laziness, carelessness and self-destruction has increased so dramatically, that it has become unbearable for me.
Not going to watch this.
 

My first thought was "Why does the New Republic always SUCK?" Then we find out that the kids don't live in the New Republic.
 
Solid move, Disney.

I am not quite sure if I like this score yet but it is a bit of a relief there is so little of apeing Williams material.  I am not that interested in someone sticking too close to existing music, that's not artistically interesting to me. That's what happened with SW: Battlefront games and even some cues from The Orville. I would rather someone write an original score with their own unique take on the material, like John Powell, Alexander Courage or Don Davis (or even Giacchino, Doyle and Ottman). Sometimes these things might not work as well but at least there is some effort. So this is definitely a good direction.

Nice score! Impeccable orchestration.
 
As I was listening at one point I thought "This sounds like a stone activating". So I was glad to see later that the track title was "The Stone Activates". A testament to Gordy Haab's ability to capture a scene!
 
Noticed some cool references to The Matrix Revolutions in "The Heavens Open Up" as well.

I can't believe Haab pulled a Williams on us with this album!

It's insane to me that they haven't gotten Alan Silvestri to write a Star Wars score

I will be shocked if The Daniels, the creators of Everything Everywhere All At Once, don't turn in a worthwhile episode
 
Also it is nice to see the creator who is best known for directing, is directing here. I always found it very strange that Jon Favreu was a writer and not a director for The Mandalorian as I don't see how the former is his strong suit

It’s only me or the end credits from the first episode sound like Powell a bit?  
Reminds me of Ice Age.

Yeah, I feel the same way. McNeely is also just really good to listen to, especially his Shadows of the Empire and Orville work.
 
Hoping we get an official announcement for this game’s album here soon, I really don't wanna have to rely on audio file uploads.

I think the McNeely scored episodes fare better for an on-their-own listening experience. Dude just understood the assignment over the other guys, IMO.
 
Back to lurk mode! Ninja, vanish!

Yep, and the good thing is that the movies are at least great.
 
Because being honest, as a comic book guy, things are changed so much in adaptations that I don’t even become a bit irritated because of changes anymore, I only want the changes to be good.
 
Peter Parker in the Raimi movies being more like teenager Clark Kent than the temperamental and a bit arrogant Peter from the comics? I’m ok with it, as the writing is good and Peter is a great main character anyway.
 
Jonathan Kent being a irritating man that dies because of a Tornado for no reason and the character itself being in conflict with the themes of the movie? Really no.
 
 

They could've modulated the "Max Rebo" kid's voice so he doesn't sound like the human kid that lives down your street...
 
Or maybe that's the point.

granted a very short clip but this is showing no Star Wars sensibilities so far, it feels like Earth with a sci-fi coat of paint

I dunno about that, David Lowery and The Daniels are some of the hottest directors working today, and Bryce Dallas Howard has directed some of the best episodes of the Mandoverse

The comics can be very interesting sometimes.
 
Like, the Vader comics from 2017 are literally what people wanted from Vader in a show after Rogue One.
 
And come on, you have to admit that him in a black horse is cool
 

You won't get a disagreement on this with me that's for sure.
 
The composers on Young Indy, all of them, were great.
 
Also it's probably a bazillion times more intimidating writing and presenting pieces to Lucas than Bethesda lol
 
You bring your A game with Lucas. Especially back then.

not sure if it's the mix or the composition, but that Young Indiana Jones Chronicles excerpt sounds more authentically like an Indiana Jones score than the Haab excerpt to me
