I think it was a complex process and not deliberated.
 
Lucas's decision to introduce that theme for the Binary Sunset was based basically in something like "Ok, this sounds good. Let's put that music in this scene, instead of this dark and misterious theme Johnny composed". And that was the pivotal point for a new interpretation of the theme. If I'm not wrong, Williams refered to that theme as "Ben Kenobi's theme" for a long time even when it was known as the Force them, but that was a long time ago and now he also talk about it as the Force theme too.
 
I don't know if it's because director decisions in the sequel trilogy, but you can notice the Force theme is literally all over the place in the last three films. It's so prominent that it feels like the "new" Star Wars theme instead the known fanfarre. Music themes always changes it significance over time.

Williams already referred to it as “The Force theme” by the liners of *The Empire Strikes Back.* The theme was subtly redefined between the two entries.
 
By The Last Jedi it became a kind of calling-card: “ah, there’s a vaguely impactful moment in the film! I know what to do! Binary Sunset!”
 
 

Williams'.
 
In the 1977 Star Wars Liner Notes he associates the themes of the opening credits with Luke Skywalker, and the theme in question with Old Ben; it makes sense, too: the feeling of the theme is much more appropriate to an old recluse than to the Force itself, per se. Obviously its also associated with the Force, but its primary association is clearly with Old Ben.
 
However, already by the liner notes of The Empire Strikes Back, they become the "Star Wars theme" and "Force theme", respectivelly. Then, years later, the Rebel fanfare (which in the 1977 liners is referred to as the rebel spaceship fanfare -i.e. for the Blockade Runner) became the theme of the Falcon: I think Williams had confused the Falcon and the Blockade Runner from the beginning, since the design for the one got swapped for the other.
 
But then, isn't that what leitmotives do? They change their musical form but they also change their association to some extent. A few examples: This theme from the Ring cycle ("Rheingold! Rheingold! Leuchtende Lust!") we associate with the magic gold. But in the third act of Siegfried what's that we hear? Its the same theme (attached to the theme of the forest bird) with no allusion to the gold (except the tenuous connection of the Ring itself), and from here on out we often hear it that way: more as a general "joy" feeling than as anything to do specifically with the gold. The same is true of the theme associated with the magic helmet. Well, if its associated with the Tarnhelm, the hell it's doing here? or here? or here? or here? Its become more of a general "magic" or "deception" idea.
 
That’s why I keep stressing the dynamic aspect of the leitmotiv: that’s really the point; and the motives in Star Wars definitely do change, musically and dramatically.

This has been the most popular article on Variety all day! Nice to see that people care about Williams's involvement.

I don't expect something like a personal theme for the character Obi-Wan Kenobi, but rather a theme that illustrates this particular adventure. Maybe a little reference to the Force Theme like in Battle of Heroes, but I rather hope not. Maybe something with a Lawrence of Arabia desert vibe like these parts in Galaxy's Edge, that don't sound like a news channel jingle.

Oh my god, 'Open the Door' is such lovely and nostalgic cue!! I'm in tears. Do we know the name of the motif we hear from 1:20 to end? I'm sure its linked to Grogu but don't know if we can say that's his theme.
 
What an amazing use of The Force theme. Goransson did an incredible job this season including older themes, but this was the cherry on the top, the best way to finish a great soundtrack.

You're on the right track! That is, as far as we've been able to tell, the theme for Mando & child, as it has essentially charted their relationship from early on in Season One. See my earliest explanation here:
 
 
There have been a few more allusions to it this season as well, such as in Vol. 1's Experiment as well as in Vol. 2's The Seeing Stone. I'll be sure to provide a full breakdown for this album in the same format I did for Volume 1.

Lol I didn't knew it was you! I feel so dumb hahaha 

I guess just keep looking through my videos, I'm sure I uploaded it at some point!
 
I'll keep searching through the game's audio files.

I can't believe this episode.
 
God bless Filoni.
 
Amazing job by Ludwig Göransson too.

We got a Yoda quote this very episode. But I think it's great that Göransson's mostly allowed to do his own (lovely) thing without slavishly needing to needledrop JW at every opportunity, it works very well.
 
 
Hmm, more importantly, who cares? She did a good job. She's orange anyway.
 
Yeah, they've done it once already, and  it's not the same here at all.

I can't believe this episode.
 
God bless Filoni.
 
Amazing job by Ludwig Göransson too.

I'm so hyped to hear Ahsoka's theme in the next four episodes.
 
It's time to hear the force theme also. 

My opinion on John Williams Star Wars Sequel Trilogy scores?

They're hella good.

Wow that's a fantastic video!  The sheet music for Daisy was really sweet as well!

They made a very nice job honoring his work. 
 
 
This was maybe my favorite moment of the documentary. All that stuff for only 2 seconds. Pretty dope.

It's amazing how Williams can almost plagiarize himself a little bit after 44 years 

That's more Korngold than Tschai, I'd say!
