... So I'm in the group of people that didn't like it. I found the episode boring and badly done. I'm not a fan of The Mandalorian, but I put the quality of this episode among the worst of the two. Is quite sad for me to see something with the "Star Wars" name and feel so disconnected.
I'm glad many people enjoy the path that Favreau and Filoni are taking to the franchise but this is not for me.

I like this FYC Promo but... I feel a little bit disappointed. Klimek and Tykwer could have done something better... I can't say if I prefer any of the Davi's scores for the previous films, but the style in the score stays too close to Davis. I know it makes sense but these guys shine more with another style, I think.

Umm... So I like the OST but I was disappointed after seeing the track-list (and specially the "sound fx" disclamer) but the comments of @Jayand @TownerFan made me think to purchase it, so i'll try to buy it!

I would like Williams, since this is absolutely out of question, I'll be also happy with Powell. James Newton Howard could be also good and Giacchino could make something better than Rogue One, for sure.
I hope is not Göransson. I'm getting quite tired of his Madalorian scores and I won't be very happy if he becomes the go to composer for Star Wars.

Wait, so Horner didn't actually scored the movies, he'd just write a few themes and then his orchestrators would do all the work of actually putting music to score scenes of the movie?
And even with that he manages to copy his previous themes! hahaha
As far as I know, many composers work like that nowadays. They hire co-composers to do more than separate the music between the different instruments.

From that perspective it makes absolutely sense that episode 9 ended more or less exactly where 6 ended, just with Han, Luke and Leia dead.
Lucas never planed to use Luke, Han and Leia, actually the story focused into Qui-Gon's lost grandgrandchildren and his forbidden love for a Gungan.

Probably, but the only track that I listened was a variation on the Desert Winds source track in Episode I. Glass wants to use the less popular material of Williams...

I agree, Episode X (code name "something, something darker this time") is already finished. In fact, George Lucas filmed the whole movie right after Episode III. Williams, of course, score it in 2006 and, if you ask him, he's sure that the movie was premier that same year. Apparently Lucas new that if he released this new Episode people won't see The Clone Wars so he waited, but after being sad with the reception of Red Tails, he decided to retire and sell Lucasfilms to Disney.
I don't want to spoil you guys this movie, Disney has it and Lucas wanted this movie to be "Episode VII" but they told him "No, George, we paid you a lot of money and we want to make our story. Your movie, will be in fact Episode X". George, obviously, though that was the right move because it would make his movie even better and more unexpected.
The movie needed some reshoots because Disney wants to add Rey, Finn and the rest of the cast of their new trilogy into the movie. I can confirm you these reshoots are mostly done. Lucas is not doing the reshoots. He said, "I retired, you need to hire a younger director for these reshoots". So Disney hired David O. Russell. Williams is not needed for those reshoots because Philip Glass is already scoring some variations of the themes to fit these new scenes.
Anyway, they planed to release Episode X this year, but seems that Russell has 2 hours of reshoots of Finn training to be a Jedi and he refuses to cut this into the 10 minutes that Disney demanded. The rumours (is not yet confirmed) are that they will release "Finn trains for real: A Star Wars Story" as a precuel to Episode X.

I liked a lot, finally a Zimmer score for a franchise where he adapts to the movie, and not the movie to his style. I love they used some On Her Majesty’s Secret Service themes.
In the movie there're some instances of the usual zimme/mazzaro action music that I didn't find very remarkable, but even with that I'll say is a very solid score.
12 hours ago, HunterTech said:I'm surprised there's no credit for the Vesper theme, given it's now been confirmed to be very much intentional. Perhaps in the film, but neither website that I check for that info has been updated yet.
Indeed, I wasn't sure if I missed it in the credits but seems they included it without crediting...

Perhaps you should take Star Wars a bit more seriously.
Nop, I'm fine without taking them seriously

What proof do you have that "Williams scored different versions of the film"? What "controversial script decisions"?
You're opinion of select Star Wars episodes/shows/etc. is, quite frankly, irrelevant. It's one's interpretation of the narrative that's critical to understanding the great mystery.
"All sorts of mysteries have been unraveled in the course of these."
- John Williams, 2019
Anyone thinking that the mysteries of Star Wars have no more significant 'unraveling' - at least in the relative short term - will be proven widely mistaken. Just watch.
Well, we have the leaked recording sessions names/states in this forum that indicates that the movie was edited differently. For clarification: I don't mean he saw a movie where Rey was the daughter of Chewey and Kylo was a clone of Anakin, I simply mean that it was a different version.
The "controversial script decisions" are the returning of Palpatine, the whole Rey Palpatine, the Wayfinders... I really mean the full script.
I know my opinion is irrelevant, as any opinion. I was just adding things into the conversation. At the end these are movies of space wizards and I try not to take them very serious...

I'm not here to amuse you, @Chen G., nor do I wish to spoil things for you. But I'm curious...
When John Williams spoke to his Hollywood Bowl audience at the end of August 2019, he was quite praiseworthy of JJ's work on Episode IX when saying the director was "doing a fantastic job. I won't say anything about it except the ending, I think, will just put you all away. I think you will love it."
... what do you think John Williams meant by that?
Also don't forget Williams scored different versions of the film... And, as @Manakin Skywalkersays, the man is old and doesn't care about the fandom nor the controversial script decisions.
For me, IX is a very bad film but I also think II and III are very bad films. I think that VIII is very, very good I'm very happy that Disney bought Lucasfilm just for that movie. I enjoy VII, which I think have more good things than bad.
But, for example, I don't care about Mandalorian and the whole Filoni production. I'm happy that there're people that enjoy them, but I don't.

I'll wait for a restock... I was afraid this edition didn't add much to the previous one but seems the sound quality has been really improved.

Pure aesthetically, I'm not feeling it. It looks like that TV show.
I have that very same feeling... Maybe there's something with the lighting or possibly the way the trailer is edited.

‘Star Wars’ Editor Marcia Lucas Slams Kathleen Kennedy and J.J. Abrams: ‘They Don’t Have a Clue’
Marcia Lucas was "furious" when she saw Han Solo and Luke Skywalker killed in Disney's "Star Wars" trilogy.
Both death makes sense to me from a narrative point of view. IMHO the goof part of continuing Star Wars without George Lucas is to explore decisions that he wouldn't make.

As I film I prefer the original one, Empire is great but not as round as Star Wars. As a score I choose Empire.
-
I'm fine with this choice. I liked a lot what Davis did, but I think Klimek and Tykwer could make an impressive score if has the quality of The Perfume or Cloud Atlas. In any case, I hope the use the main theme from Davis.

I like much more Toto's Dune...
On 9/3/2021 at 8:03 PM, Edmilson said:I'm listening to the sketchbook right now.
I have a theory about these albums: they're precisely what Zimmer writes when he's working on a movie. I mean, he writes a lot of music inspired by the movie, then asks his assistants to fit what he wrote into the movie.
So, the actual film cues are arrangements done by his assistants of the material he wrote.
I'm not sure if this is true and I'd love to be proven wrong, but I think the truth is somewhere in the middle of this and he actually writing the score cues (with a little help from his friends
)
Yes, after many years I have the same impression. He writes a suite with the themes and ideas and the assitants do the rest, in this case there's a lot of material and reminds me more of the Xperiments album from Dark Phoenix (that was done with the other composers aswell...)

Here’s Randy Kerber’s arrangement of Williams’ “Galaxy’s Edge” theme, as used for ambient entrance music at the parks: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/sbMEPeEmoNKkfcpf6
It's interesting! I feel there's enough music for an album with Ross, Haab or Kerber's takes on Williams music.

The new Han Solo and the Princess arrangement to me sounds like JW is eulogizing Carrie Fisher more-so than anything else. It certainly has no relation to the tone and feel of the TESB score or film
Clearly the tone is not the one in TESB but a more melancholic one. I see TESB as the beginning of the love, where the 2018 arrangement is the conclusion of that love after the fall of Ben. -

07) Inside Dr. Know's 4:30 (Disc 3) This is not an alternate but the film version to the one included on the original disc pressing (which I suppose is an alternate take)
08) Rogue City -Rock Source Cue #2 2:05 (Disc 3) The other mislabelled cue Replicas is kinda atmosphereic /relaxing type. Reminds me of the Total Recall-esque source cues.[NEW]
Track 8 is a Rogue City source or an alternate version to Inside Dr. Know's? To my ears sounds closer to the latter (kind of an excerpt of Inside Dr. Know's)

You're absolutely right. For me it has more to do also with my impressions of the Mandalorian Maybe it ends being a great show... But I'm almost sure that it won't be a show that I enjoy.
