That's awesome! This OST is going to be one for the ages!

I've been listening to the Legacy of Hogwarts albums as well, the OST and the study themes. It's all very nice. I was a little surprised to hear how much the soundtrack is based in JW's musical language, very similar textures and playfulness. I guess it makes sense. JW defined the HP sound before later composers went away from it. A lot of the music is more background, atmospheric stuff with meandering melodies, but that's probably due to videogames needed that kind of background music. Really nice stuff all around.

I just saw that. Sounds much more JW-like.

And throughout this cue, from around 1:32 to 2:55
Wow, yes! I've always enjoyed that little melody but I never considered it's thematic association.

Listening to The Fabelmans theme for the first time I thought: this is perfectly pleasant piano music with a touch of Randy Newman and Americana.
Listening to it now, and the theme could bring me to tears not because it is so sad but because it is so earnest and beautiful. I could almost say it is immaculate.

Kind of off topic, but I recently remembered (and I'm not positive if this has been mentioned since the Obi-Wan show was released) but I think Obi-Wan had sort of a short recurring motif in AOTC. It's kind of a heroic melody that appears in around 3(?) cues throughout the film, all in scenes with Obi-Wan, often on his own, and when he gets captured.
So this might actually be his third theme I guess.
Do you have a link/timestamp you can share? I don't recall this.

Good God I've been listening to this music for 40 years and until now I never realised the material from "Into the Trap" was used elsewhere in the score. How could I not have noticed this?
I literally didn't realize it until the last few posts in this thread.

If my theory is right that Williams recorded music for a new trailer (most likely connected to the super bowl), then there is a good chance it was due to Mangold's exchange with the twitter complaint about the music of the the first trailer.
How is that for a double hypothetical?
I'd love to be wrong, film directors often have little to no involvement with trailers and even less with the music selection. I especially doubt that a Twitter exchange would impact how the film is marketed.

This newest video really shows the delicate nature of the theme. It brings out all the golden-age goodness.

Has this video been shared yet? It's a very nice performance of Helena's theme with mostly clean audio.

This hits the nail on the head, I think, @Chen G. A fortuitous coincidence, which is not to say a meaningless one.
The similarity here is another instance of within a long list of JW using a kind of personal "meta" motif of 1-3-2-5 in minor. It's the basis for the Ludlow Motif among many other things, including a plethora of materials in Star Wars, Disney-era ones in particular. The Tension, Desperation, Resistance in Trouble, Anthem of Evil, and Obi Wan leitmotifs are all structured around in some way or another.
A nice example, strictly speaking non-leitmotivic, is in the finale from Attack of the Clones. Right before the strings start going all Games-of-Thronesy. Intervallically speaking, this is a dead-ringer for the "Advice" moment, though with a very different affect!
I love how JW accidentally wrote the Game of Thrones theme in the finale of AOTC.

Miller's Crossing is a beautiful and dark score.

When will we get a release of this? I absolutely loved the Prayer for Peace cello and classical guitar duet from the new JW YoYo Ma album. A beautiful, intimate arrangement.

Most likely a coincidence. That said, this does underscore the important scene when Kylo becomes Ben again, and he was named after Obi-Wan. 🤷🏻♂️
We need that one poster, Mathis(?), to weigh in on this theory.

Isn't this just the first bit of the Anthem of Evil theme?
I think you're right!

Those are definitely the opening notes of Obi-Wan's theme. Nice find.

Map Room is the most epic, and I don't mean in a Hans Zimmer way. It is truly epic music that builds and builds in the most glorious way.

This score (mostly the soundtrack album, not the individual episode releases) is one of the few modern soundtracks I regularly listen to. It's a real feat and stands fairly unique in this current age of film and television music.
