I thought his Steve Jobs score was pretty good as well. Had some inspired moments.
 
 

On the Mark Hamill breaking character in ROTJ, let's break the scene down from this clip - 

 
First our heroes have fallen from a trap and find themselves surrounded by teddy bears, Luke and Han have a bemused look on them right up till an ewok sticks a spear in Hans face, at which point both change to a more serious expression. Han annoyed pushes the spear away saying "Hey, point that thing someplace else" the ewoks then talk to each other before pointing their spears back at Han, Han grabbing the nearest spear and raising his blaster is stopped by Luke, "Han don't, you'll be alright", Han struggling with the spear then let's go and has his blaster taken off him, at the same time Chewie is also resisting the ewoks taking his weapon, Luke tells him "Chewie give them your crossbow". Chewie after a short struggle let's it go. At which point 3P0 sits up "oh my head" the ewoks immediately start bowing and chanting, 3P0 "oh my goodness", the ewoks talking amongst themselves and still chanting, Han again has a bemused look while Luke appears puzzled. 3P0 now speaks to the ewoks some of who seem to understand him. Luke still puzzled asks "do you understand anything they're saying?" 3P0 "oh yes master Luke, remember I am fluent in over 6 million forms of communication-" Han cutting him off "what are you telling them?" "Hello I think, I could be mistaken they're using a very primitive dialect, but I do believe they think I am some sort of god". Luke smiles at this, Chewie and R2 react then Han asks "well why don't you use your devine influence and get us out of this?". 3P0 informs him "I beg your pardon General Solo but that just wouldn't be proper", "Proper?" Han exclaims, Luke who has been focused on 3P0 at this point smirkes and looks down, 3P0 then explains "it's against my programming to impersonate a deity" it's at this point Luke has returned focus to 3P0 raises his hand to his face while smiling. Han annoyed stand's up "why you..." this causes the ewoks to stop their chanting and turn their weapons on Han who then tries to diffuse the situation "my mistake, he's an old friend of mine"
 
To me it was always clear that Luke was reacting to 3P0's line about not being able to impersonate a deity, instead of Hans response at it not being proper.

Yes, that's why I think it was best for them to do the score, and not have another composer come in and want to do their own themes but have to work around the songs.
 
Surprisingly I like Eilish's song (as I'm not a fan otherwise) and of course Dua Lipa's.  I'm not a fan of the remix of Barbie Girl though - the song is too far in the background.

this thread is the mine car chase in temple of doom when it flies over the rails for a page but then it lands

WTF? 

Rebels more-so than Clone Wars has a habit of swerving to more kid friendly zones when things are starting to get particularly compelling. Clone Wars doesn't really pull any punches but it also doesn't tackle these really heavy themes with much nuance, and it does a pretty bad job at depicting a galactic war

You're going to be left wanting for both on that level, and I expect Ahsoka to be reliant on past material whilst not explaining it to the unfamiliar but also contradict it, as that has been the pattern so far

That statement doesn't necessarily mean he's not doing any more series after the second, but just that he's going to start working on other things as well after that time. It could've been in his contract that he couldn't take any other roles until that time, or (more likely) is the fact that the new production will be a well-oiled machine by the end of 2024, and scheduling will be much easier.
 
The whole interview is well worth a read, even just for the gorgeous photo shoot they did with Ncuti and the outfits he's wearing. He touches on Doctor Who, Barbie, and Sex Education - the latter of which he's surprisingly frank about through some criticism. He has such an exciting and alluring energy about him and I can't wait to see him in action as the Doctor. Not to mention just how beautiful he is.

It's quite usual for actors to do other stuff, in-between filming DW.
I'm confident that Gatwa will complete at least three whole seasons, as well as any specials.

Surprising, I love how the OST sounds! Certainly prefer the sound of this album to TFA and TROS (and TLC and KOTCS for that matter).

Yes, that worked out well in Solo with John Powell working on Williams' themes.
But if I had a choice between some other composer adapting Williams' themes or Williams writing the whole score, I'd always choose the latter.

I have to disagree! The film certainly maintains the tone of the previous films: there are “dark” moments  throughout - much like any other Indy film. But it's nowhere near the aesthetic of any Nolan films, or Logan (also directed by Mangold). My impression is that they committed to honouring the tone and aesthetic of the original three films.

To Athens and Battle of Syracuse are definitely my top two standouts
 
Helena's Theme is great throughout. The ASM version makes for a really unique closer and sets itself apart, it really worked for me after hearing the theme developed. I wasn't sure if I'd appreciate having two Helena's Theme arrangements on the album but they both bring something. 
 
This might be a ridiculous thing to say but parts of this made me feel like...this is kinda the most badass and sexy his music's been in awhile

I was going to suggest "Turn Left" and "The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit" but there's the caveat of the threat boiling down to absurd shit like a time altering beetle and literally Satan, so that didn't really fit the mold of hard sci-fi in my head

I literally can’t think of a single hard sci-fi episode of new Doctor Who, it’s just not that kind of show

Bill Bailey is a genius.
 
English:
It's him, in the night
Doctor Who
He travels in the TARDIS, the fantastic space phone box
The inside is much bigger than the outside
And that is the mystery of the Doctor Who
The enemy, his name is Davros
Captain of the Daleks
He's half Dalek and half man — amazing!
He wants to control the world
Always control the world
He gets up in the morning, he wants to control the world
After breakfast, he wants to control the world
But he never controls the world!
It is not very realistic
With the Daleks, the Doctor is Superior
Exterminate yourself! Exterminate Yourself Again!
Ah, damn it! We are lost! Uh!
The doctor won, he laughs
"Ha, ha, ha! I won because I am Doctor Who!"

Here's an arrangement that's definitely 'different', courtesy of comedian Bill Bailey.
