The Williams title is Star Wars, I just know it.

From the FSM thread.

I’m hoping for Hook or Catch Me If You Can or The Terminal or Deep Impact or The Mask of Zorro or The Perfect Storm or Bicentennial Man or Enemy at the Gates or Iris or A Beautiful Mind or Jurassic Park III or The Godfather Part 2 or Gladiator. Oh, and complete versions of Indiana Jones and Star Wars (of course).

So, now we have learned that just because a release is exclusively digital, it doesn't mean there won't be a CD release later, especially by a specialty label, even for a Disney title.
 

I too love Jim Titus’ work, but man, aren’t we lucky to have this release? A 2-CD edition of Solo? Let us at least try to be positive for a microsecond about getting a JW Star Wars theme and the expanded JP score on CD, shall we?  🙏🏻

Ordered! 🤩

I wonder what a potential tracklist would be.
 
1. Main Title: New York, 1932 (4:06)
2. Dead Composers Anecdote (3:54)
3. John Meets Steven (2:34)
4. George's Theme (11:38)
5. Dead Composers Anecdote (Reprise) (3:54)
6. Arrival in Boston (4:35)
7. The Microediting Montage (15:48)
8. Dead Composers Anecdote (Reprise) (3:54)
9. Scherzo for Turtleneck and Orchestra (2:49)
10. The Lasik Scene (5:23)
11. Journey To Tanglewood (3:45)
12. Dead Composers Anecdote (Reprise) (3:54)
13. Welcome To Vienna (1:42)
14. Turning 90 and The Adventure Continues (7:03)
15. Dead Composers Anecdote (For Violin And Orchestra) (feat. Anne-Sophie Mutter) (4:21)

I already know what these 8 scores are gonna be:
Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace; Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones; Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith; Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope; Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back; Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi; Raiders of the Lost Ark; Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom;

Although I have attended a lot of concerts featuring John Williams' music for the Star Wars films over the years, this one had so much that I had not heard live in concert before.  You could tell the concert had been put together by genuine Williams fans, so well done to @mahler3 (whom I spotted waiting in the wings a few times!) and to @TownerFan who was evidently responsible for the informative and pleasingly accurate programme notes.
 
As well as the UK concert premiere of music from The Rise of Skywalker posted above by @Biodome, yesterday was the first time I had heard the revised version of Han Solo and the Princess in concert.  It might take a bit of getting used to, but having heard it live I think it's a grower.  I was happy that the full version of Luke and Leia (apparently conductor Stephen Bell's favourite piece of music from the saga) was played rather than the truncated version heard sometimes more recently.  The Lucasfilm Logo, The Adventures of Han Solo and The Rebellion is Reborn were also treats which I had not sampled live before.
 
I thought the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was excellent yesterday evening.  I did not notice any flubbed notes at all, the exposed horn solos in Princess Leia's Theme and Luke and Leia usually very unforgiving but both played perfectly.  I was in the choir seats immediately behind the xylophone, glockenspiel, vibraphone, cowbells, etc. and I loved watching the percussionists dart about between the various instruments.  I had not noticed before that the opening of Rey's Theme was played on vibraphone, glockenspiel and marimba.  It was also nice that the conductor made the first violins stand after The Asteroid Field, as the other sections of the orchestra usually get the love.
 
Here are a few grainy photos taken from my vantage point.
 

It was a great concert!
 
 
 

Gotta bump that up to at least 22 discs to be relatively complete! 

This mirage is present in my mind every month it comes round and it hurts more every time that flyer drops. I know I am responsible for my own misery 😭, but the want is so strong! 
 
 

DISNEY: "Can't we just release this ourselves?"
INTRADA: "Like you released Dial of Destiny?"
