Ah, shucks. You're right. Sorry about that. Good catch. So that means it shows up at 42:27 and not 53:43. I'll fix my first post accordingly.  

Awesome breakdown... but doesn't the Force theme first appear in TFA when Han says he knew Luke? https://youtu.be/bdrErkGQPB0?t=2m21s
Should still keep the film in its position though.

By my rough calculations (and I could most certainly be wrong or have missed one), the Force theme first shows up in...

The Phantom Menace at 6:50 when Qui-Gon Jinn shoves his lightsaber back into the, um, blast door.
The Attack of the Clones at 30:49 when Anakin and Padme arrive on Naboo.
Revenge of the Sith at 2:10 right after the opening crawl when the Jedi starfighters come into view.
Rogue One at 17:03 when Bail Organa first appears.
A New Hope at 4:53 into the movie when Leia programs R2.
The Empire Strikes Back at 9:29 when Luke reaches out for his lightsaber in the Wampa cave.
Return of the Jedi at 26:15 right before the Rancor picks up Luke. 
The Force Awakens at 42:27 when Han tells Rey and Finn that he knew Luke.
The Last Jedi at 11:42 when we get Leia's reaction after the Dreadnought is confirmed to be destroyed.
 
The films in order of shortest amount of time to the longest amount of time for the Force theme to show:
ROTS, ANH, TPM, ESB, TLJ, RO, ROTJ, AOTC, TFA. 
 
So you are indeed correct! It takes the longest amount of time to show up in TFA, with almost 3/4ths of an hour passing before it graces the film, and obviously the shortest amount of time to show in ROTS, with it showing up just over 2 minutes into the film. 

Perhaps Williams could compose a major version of the Force theme for lighter, more family-friendly moments. Something like this:

Honestly, this doesn't seem to be that complex an idea.  If the Force is indeed an energy that binds the galaxy together, then the use of the Force theme is acceptable in pretty much any instance in the films in which it is intended to be thought by the audience that the Force is at work in some mysterious way.
 
This is not rocket science.

But no though.
 
Allow me to translate: "I didn't like the movie, and am so incapable of dealing with the loss of the entitlement I feel that I compensate for it by saying ridiculous, hyperbolic things about it.  See, it's not enough for me to simply say that I didn't like it, and then explain why; THAT might accidentally create a dialogue about it, which is the last thing I want.  I'd rather just say that the movie raped my grandmother and decapitated my grandfather, because THAT'S HOW YOU WILL KNOW I MEAN IT."

Ha! 
 
I do think the one big missed opportunity on this score was a Rey/Kylo theme.

Why are you so condescending? It's pretty clear you're not much of a Star Wars fan, so it's fair to assume that some might react differently to the movie than you. You seem to have a hard time grasping the concept of subjectivity.
 
I rewatched TLJ last night, and for me, it's definitely in my top 3 Star Wars movies in terms of emotional resonance.

TFA
1. The Abduction
2. I Can Fly Anything
3. Farewell and The Trip
4. Follow Me
5. The Scavenger
 
TLJ
1. The Supremacy
2. The Spark
3. Chrome Dome
4. Peace and Purpose
5. The Battle of Crait
 
FYC tacks I really wanted to include - The Resistance and Rey's Journey, respectively 
 

Sometimes I wish the moderating here was a bit more strict. I don't come here to read about people's opinions on the movie, if I did I'd visit that thread. If I'm in a thread for the score, I want to read about the score, not the same tired and ridiculous complaints I've heard for the past few months.

Yes, take the film discussion to General Discussion please, and talk about the score here. Thanks.

If there is one thing this forum sure needs, it’s more people bashing The Last Jedi, especially when they are criticizing the film in all the score discussion threads!

Yes, the first 3 notes of it.

You can stop watching the movie if you're just going to give us a running commentary of all your gripes with it.

Highly unlikely the MA file isn't 23.976.
