I'm kind of new here after "lurking" a bit for the past year (sorry) while I re-created the full isolated scores for ANH and TESB. I'm at about the 40 minute mark with the isolated score for TFA, and the score breakdowns have been incredibly helpful. Thank you, Jay, and the rest of you, for providing such a detailed roadmap as a point of departure.
It also helps to have the CD of the FYC, although there are few moments where I've had to make modifications to those cues (surprise!) and as with "Hope" and "Empire", some of the OST cues had to be modified as they were by the editing team (my assumption) to replicate the musical soundtrack as it is in the final cut. None of it is perfectly straight forward when you're trying to match the score frame for frame with the film's final cut, but I'm hoping to figure out eventually. I'm also hoping, as many of you are, for a complete soundtrack. Perhaps Disney will give Star Wars the Legacy Collection treatment?
Has anyone else tried to create an isolated score to the film?
