Knowledge was their treasure

you mean three scores with one Stone?

have you composed any other such Romantic pieces? I would be interested to hear some more

It's not Benny Hill, it's Benny High Ground

Maybe you should be the one scoring Kenobi

And this is why the Reddit folk think JWFan is one mad hive Carry on!

well, the droid motif in most uses does sound like some sort of motif of trouble, especially trouble happening to or perceived by 'innocent' beings. Interesting how busy / full of notes this theme is, showing a lot of vitality even in its most peaceful rendition on Dagobah. Similarily, in IX, Yoda's Theme is played when Chewie gets a medal from the alien Maz, possibly because it's a heartwarming alien theme, and Maz is a soft reboot Yoda. I think it is an inevitable consequence of the need for utility in scoring films that Williams's themes become associated with a more general class of characters or emotions over time.

literally my first thought was the crazy one that Benny's theme could be some kind of crypto-homage

Benny's Hill

Alec Guiness was 62 when he portrayed Ben Kenobi. Williams is 90 now, and from his perspective a 62-year-old is a child (Joseph Williams is 61). Ewan McGregor is 51, so basically an infant. Hence, 'Benny'.

Could this be the reason for the lack of announcement of a normal release of the 2022 VPO concert?

Frankly it's embarassing for a JWFan regular to judge a Williams score based on a notoriously unrepresentative OST or a single viewing of a film.

They didn't like him singing Raiders' March?

Some context for the hiring of Natalie Holt: Apparently it's a result of a meeting between Williams and Kathleen Kennedy. They happened to have been watching Britain's Got Talent, and the show was getting really boring, when suddenly a violist stood up and begun to toss eggs at a music critic. Kennedy chuckled, but the GOAT only looked at her pensievely and remarked: "you may laugh Katie, but I think I would rather have that woman score my Star Wars, than hear about another... Italian job from you". The Lucasfilm exec knew better than to cross the infamous Decomposer, so first she assigned that random young English person a low-key score to avoid suspicion, then immediately hired her for Kenobi.

Crazy that at the time of this video being filmed Williams was already 30 years old.

Maybe they just wanted to generate additional buzz and speculation, have all the nerds make a hundred videos about 2 days of delay

Then there is this, a fragment of Mahler's 3rd symphony

Some context of his recent activity:

A year before the premiere of the movie?
