    An additional bonus, I managed to find one of the webcam pictures taken when it was at the scoring session:

    The webcam was set up to take pictures every 20 seconds, and was there for multiple days, there were likely thousands of webcam photos of the scoring sessions that were once available online. Unfortunately most of them are currently lost, after months of searching I've only managed to find ~100 webcam photos total (out of the millions that were available on the service)

     

    Also, thanks to Star Wars Insider, here are a few of the pictures that would've been attached to the articles in my original post:

    (apologies for the poor quality, these come from magazine scans)

    Interesting! They already had digitally engraved parts/(scores?) for this one?

    for all those who want to hear their music played live and have not yet had the opportunity to do so

    A good exercise for using what you have effectively, since the instrumentation is kinda limited. Have fun!

     

    Just finished my entry:

    Pretty proud how this came together! Someone can guess which JNH score I took a bit inspiration from for that final buildup:lol:?

    would be awesome if y'all could like and comment as it helps boost it, IF you like the music:)

    Shirley's music this episode was great and I particularly loved his new Coruscant theme, as well as the development of a motif from previous episode, that now it's starting to seem like it represent's Bo Katan's journey for redepmtion.

     

    The carnvial-arrangement of the March of the Resistance was quite unexpected but so much fun, and I love all the other subtle references to Williams music, especially with that low male choir representing the Dark Side of the Force like it did with Palpatine and Snoke. What @Michael Grigorowitsch and @Falstaft are referring as the motif from Snoke's Boudouir is actually a motif representing Werner Herzog's character in Season 1, and that has been used a couple of times to represent the darker side of the story. 

     

    In case anyone is interested, I did a short analysis of the soundtrack of the episode, which you can check out on my blog. Feel free to check it out and share your thoughts. Enjoy!

    Chapter 19: The Convert

    Great find! And this is why you don't speculate on something you don't have extended basic knowledge of, 😆. Also shows that there is more "classic" star wars musical identity than one thinks at first glance in this fantastic series! GREAT blog entry!

    Not to mention a recollection of this motif from Snoke's boudoir in TLJ, around when Pershing decides to resume his work.

    So we have now, among other things, a diegetic calliope version of the March of the Resistance, another return to Snoke's low male chorus, and yet no nod to "Themes by JW" in the end credits! :P

     

     

     

     

    I might be wrong, but is there the actual same melody as in TLJ are those two melodic lines just part of the same harmonic identity? (timestamp: 30:16?)

     

    I guess the intention was rather focused on referencing this, the melody is just part of the same harmonic identity.

    The odd background music during the not-mind-flayer rehab scene feels like a possible reference too; anyone hear it clearly enough?

    I heard subtle hints of Jabba's Baroque Recital, however, I am also not sure whether this is actually an intended reference here.

    Maybe that's just the way composers think when they are being asked to compose bizarre sci-fi music.

    there is also no credit on IMDB https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13665846/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm

    I wonder if he gets royalties for that?
