Is it just me, or is there a little too much Harry Potter lighthearted nonsense in Joseph Shirley’s arrangements for this show?

Skimming through reddit and this thread, I don't get all the love for Sedaris. I think she's terrible in this role. Her character is poorly written and acted and just doesn't feel like a real or likeable person at all.
I'm surprised so many people can tolerate Peli as a character. Nothing about her makes any sense to me. She never left Tatooine, but can speak every language, and furthermore she knows everything about starships. Would you trust a mechanic who never drove on the highway? She just met frog lady 10 minutes ago, during which she apparently had a conversation about random people the frog husband knows/has seen before(?), then she vouches for frog lady on her own life. She forgot she sent Mando a message but remembers it seconds later. Are we supposed to see her as a bit of a shyster? She's deathly afraid of womp rats and doesn't look like she's had blaster training in her life, yet she survives in this abode of scum and villainy. Apparently she didn't do anything about the security of her hangar bay after Toro took her hostage. Her voice is shrill and she talks like a Star Wars or general sci-fi encyclopedia. Last but not least, she dates furries.
Is it that hard to write in this universe? If they're going for comedy, nothing about it seems funny to me. -

It's puzzling why Williams fused those two unrelated themes together. He could have easily created 3 minute arrangements of each theme but I still like it regardless.
The Rose theme is naïvety, the Luke theme is conflict; musically it needs balance (=Rey), as does the Rebellion.

rheaton, any chance you could post just the clean sections of the music unedited? That way, others could do their own edits if they wanted. I'm not a fan of cutting sections of the music or merging cues, so I'd really appreciate it if you could.
Understood. However, all I've done is rip the audio from the YouTube videos I've linked to, and it's probably better for quality's sake to just repeat my steps (using something like KeepVid) than me uploading the audio files somewhere a second time for ripping/downloading.
However, none of this is particularly clean. To even approximate the sound of the FYC mp3s (let alone the OST in a lossless format), I had to fudge the volume levels in editing, and the rip-and-strips from 7m45a and the bulk of There's Spies Everywhere will never approach the quality absent an official LFL release of the cues.

And here's a crack at "There's Spies Everywhere." It's a shame that there's such a quality difference between the rip-and-strip (where our introduction to Jedha has even been neutered) and the unreleased "Jedha Suite" track, from which I've restored that 20 seconds or so.

Here's what I was able to make with what I've found so far. I chose to append the Hammerhead stuff to the "We Have to Press the Attack," so the first half of this will be completely familiar. Listen beginning around 2:25 for the film experience.
With one major exception, that is. I find the Jyn-on-the-tower music that Giacchino came up with really uninspiring, so I omitted it. This leads to two harsh cuts, one at about 3:02, and one at the end, when the TIE almost ends Jyn. This isn't perfect, of course, but I think it's better than not having these cues. I'd be interested in feedback!

Do you know if it's an iTunes exclusive? I'm hoping that the Blu-Ray set has that extra, as I don't have the iTunes version. I thought the Target collector's edition was supposed to have everything, so if it's not in there I won't be able to get it unfortunately.
It doesn't say it's an exclusive in any way, but it may be. There's also a gallery for K2SO in iTunes.

Exactly which iTunes extra did you find it in? I have all of the extras and might be able to get a better sounding version of it.
Extras > Designing Rogue One Galleries > U-wing
What I'm guessing is 7m45b plays first, followed by several other cues from throughout the film

The video you linked to is actually from my YouTube channel. Unfortunately the only source we have so far is the Blu-ray rip. Also, it's 7m45a is just the first 25 seconds. Do you know exactly which extra that cue was in? If there's any SFX or dialogue, then the cue will lose fidelity no matter what. Nothing from the recording sessions has leaked thus far (at least not yet, and probably not for years to come if ever).
I'm glad you posted it to YouTube, even in that format. If you'd be willing to send me the source audio file, I might try to make something listenable from it and the second video I posted.
I'm speculating that 7m45a is the first 45 seconds of your video because it doesn't make sense that LFL (or whoever ultimately cut the audio for promotional purposes) would fuse the two together and then split them at a different point, as would be the case given that this file is out there in the iTunes extras. And yes, that's in the iTunes extras (and possibly on BR as well, but I don't own the BR) without any dialogue or SFX, just as background music for viewing the design slideshow about U-wings. To my ears it sounds better in iTunes than on YouTube, but the YouTube cue might just be good enough for my purposes--which is to make a listenable playlist of the best music from the film. IMO this is the biggest missing element, this and the cue when we're first introduced to Jedha. I think I saw that you have that on your YT channel too?

Here's the recording session cue list for anyone interested.
7m45a Scarif Antenna Alignment Pt. 1
7m45b Scarif Antenna Alignment Pt. 2Just curious if anyone's found 7m45a out in the wild yet. That's basically the first 0:45 (I'm guessing) of this Bluray rip-and-strip, but not so horrible sounding. I heard 7m45b for the first time tonight while poking around the iTunes extras (it's the first thing that plays during the artwork slideshow for the U-wing, if anyone's interested). Someone's ripped this (7m45b) separately from the previous video here, but that's a lower-fi version and it'd barely be listenable wedged between the FYC version of We Have to Press the Attack and the OST version of Your Father. If anyone knows how to rip that cue from iTunes without losing fidelity, I'd be all ears.
All this buildup and questioning because I think this track (or ideally, a nicely edited version of it, because it's pretty jumpy from space to Scarif to space and back to Scarif again) is the number one thing missing from my R1 playlist. I'd love to find both a and b halves of this to craft them into a track called "The Hammerhead."

To each their own, but this might as well be titled “Walking through Hogwarts” to me.
