Tom reacted to JTN in Mark Graham just picked up a John Williams sketch and is "in a rush"! Any ideas?
Also I managed to identify one of the books on JW’s shelf.

Zoom a bit on the third one down, it is pretty obvious.

Tom got a reaction from WilliamsStarShip2282 in John Williams Reimagined Album (Arranged for flute, cello & piano)
Nice to see The Fabelmans get some sort of release.
Not to nitpick, but the notion of "Reimagined" irks me.

Tom reacted to Bespin in John Williams Reimagined Album (Arranged for flute, cello & piano)
Indeed, I find this awkward. When I see an album titled "Bach Reimagined," it often suggests that they will freely adapt Bach's music, adding notes, changing the style... and ultimately, it's no longer truly Bach. It becomes a sort of pop or jazz version of Bach, aimed at people who typically aren't familiar with or fond of Bach's music. However, in the case of John Williams and this album, I believe we can simply refer to it as "new arrangements."
Unfortunately, everything in the music industry revolves around marketing. Let's consider the brilliant way in which the latest album by James Newton Howard featuring his music for Shyamalan's films was marketed (Night After Night [Music from the Movies of M. Night Shyamalan], 2023).
Here, both the cover and the title are marketing disasters.

Just his hands, but the rest belongs to you.

It is an open secret in Hollywood that Williams is a demanding and difficult actor to work with.

My guess is that the rush was Just Down West Street, unless he tweaked the concerto again (but somehow I doubt that).
It is interesting how he goes from "It was not SW" to "there is a SW recording today." All it confirms is SW, not JW, yet he was mentioning JW in the same breath.
Cool if it was. If so, my guess is that he was not suppose to say even that much.

Tom got a reaction from Brando in STAR WARS - Live To Projection Concerts
ESB is widely regarded as the best SW (if not best as such) soundtrack of all time. I would assume that is the reason (or just a coincidence).
Either that or they have changed Vader's dialogue to "I am not your father, but I am the father of a new character to be introduced in Episode X."

Welcome to Saturday at Tanglewood. After performing so many of my older, rarely performed pieces last night, I thought that for tonight we would play the Throne Room and End Credits on repeat for two hours.

Williams demanded a decked out trailer and insisted on his own hair guy.
