Brando reacted to Cerebral Cortex in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Disney Records Original Soundtrack Album) - NO FILM SPOILERS!
Shazam'd the trailer and found this. Not sure if it's anything.

Brando reacted to Jay in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Disney Records Original Soundtrack Album) - NO FILM SPOILERS!
It was just TROS.
The Force Awakens accidentally gets released early on Amazon to some preorders and JWFan user rebekahnoelleparker is one of them
The Last Jedi shows up at Epcot Center in Florida early and JWFan user AZOutcast picks it up
The Rise of Skywalker FYC tracks get posted before the OST album is even out and JWFan user thx99 finds the links
The funniest part of TROS was that we didn't even know the TROS OST track list yet when that was found. People shazammed the FYC tracks to find out the OST names
I think after that FYC thing, the actual TROS OST album never leaked or anything, just showed up at the usual time things do when it becomes Friday in NZ.
Those I do not recall how it went

I hope for a dialogue-only version without the distraction of the music.

In that way immortality is presented as a sacrifice and an act of service. The only reason you are permitted to live forever (or at least indefinitely) is to keep the Grail safe. So only someone who is worthy would even desire to take on such a thing in the first place.

I particularly like when Donovan says to Indy: "Find the man and you will find the Grail".
We only get the true meaning of that sentence at the end of the movie

Quoting a relevant section for @King Mark, just in case he missed it the last few times.

This is an important month! Possibly the last countdown to a new JW OST.

Whoops
In all seriousness though, they most likely will use that new poster, as it has the circular boarder around the characters and works best for a modern album cover. I love the previous hand drawn one, but I found it difficult to do something with it other than that ToD layout. Maybe I’m just too unimaginative.

I found some production notes on the film, and here is what they say about the score:

Or in text form:
The most revered living film composer in the world, John Williams again leant his genius to the Indiana Jones franchise, composing the score for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny as he has for every installment in the series dating to Raiders of the Lost Ark. “John Williams brings the special sauce to the movie—the music,” says producer Frank Marshall. “The themes that he writes for these movies are so recognizable and so identifiable with the movie, it’s just an amazing thing.”
Adds Mangold: “John Williams is a legend. He came up in the Golden Age of soundtracks. He played in the orchestras of Franz Waxman. He was a jazz musician in his 20s. He’s run the Boston Pops. He’s played around the world as a concert master. He’s one of my real artistic heroes in filmmaking, and he’s had such a profound and inspiring effect on so many careers and films.”
The five-time Academy Award® winner and 53-time nominee John Williams (“Jaws,” Star Wars, “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial”) was excited to write music that would not only amplify the excitement of Indy’s last adventure, but would also underscore its most moving, deeply resonant emotional moments, including those at the very end of the film. “What I tried to do is bring an aspect of nostalgia into this piece,” Williams says. “Indiana Jones is wonderful because Harrison Ford has this ability to do the most dramatic scenes with a slight tongue in his cheek or a twinkle in his eye. He does action-comedy dialogue as well as anybody ever could.”
Although Williams initially agreed to write just a few themes for the new film, once he began composing the individual pieces, he soon decided to write the entirety of the score. “I didn’t know if John would do the whole movie when I jumped on,” Mangold says. “I only prayed.”
Of all the new material he composed, Williams’ theme for Helena is a stand-out, featuring the outstanding contributions of violin soloist Anne-Sophie Mutter. “Jim Mangold said to me, write a theme for Helena that’s like some woman from the ‘40s or the ‘30s,” Williams says. “She’s adventurous with lovers here and there—all the while doing all these things looking ravishingly beautiful.”
Notes Mangold of Williams’ traditional, and exceptional, approach to his artistry: “John creates melodic themes for the characters all written with a pencil, all written with notes. So many composers now have the film on a video, and they use a synthesizer, and the midi on the synthesizer turns it into notes. Then they hand it to an arranger who turns 17 that into an arranged piece for orchestra. It all sounds really good—but John’s way sounds better.”

That reference to Helena's Theme featuring ASM is interesting. Might imply that the non-ASM version has been left off the album, but who knows.
That description of Williams' approach to the film's ending is tantalizing!

Just to clarify, the versions on Disney Plus are just straight-up DVD rips, so expect the same exact quality as the official sets.

Ah yes. good shout, but as you say, one would hope that the quality on D+ would be better as from my brief look they seem quite pixellated. Who knows how long they'll be there now Disney are (half heartedly!) making them more widely and legally available.

They should have done Raiders with toddlers, but technology didn't allow it at the time.

No luck for me. Oh well, it would have been an expensive weekend coming soon after a month of travelling. It would have been worth it though! I'll just have to be content with a LTP performance of The Fellowship of the Ring the week before in Seoul. That'll be my summer film music concert fix.
