"it's so great to finally hear the complete Lando Arrives' -  JWfan Forum member, black & white, 2069
 

Yes. But only for Episode 4. Then they can release every ultimate expansion at the 50th anniversary of each of the movies. Great concept!
 

Of all the Star Wars movies that have been announced, this is definitely the most recent. 

Always look forward to learning the title of the next cancelled Star Wars project.

Remaining JWFans will be huddled around a camp fire listening to the complete Star Wars and Indy scores on wax cylinders in a post-apocalyptic wasteland 

Fixed.

The world was a bleak, dark place: mass starvation, murder, rape, confinement camps, genocide, and worst of all, no expanded Star Wars soundtracks.  Never forget and never again.  

Can I plead the Fifth ?

Ahhhh, another satisfactory Note For Note release in my collection about to drop in value! 

Agreed. His methods are very "contemporary" which can be offputting to those who prefer more straightforward orchestral film music, but he usually leans into melodies and catchy riffs courtesy of his work in popular music. I don't mind experimentation in my film scores. But I will always gravitate towards a good melody every time. Ludwig straddles those two worlds for me. He reminds me a bit of early Zimmer that way but with a more hip-hop influence.  Samples in the service of great tunes paired with some lovely orchestration. He's a lighter touch than Zimmer these days. And I can't wait to hear what he writes for The Odyssey!
 
The new theme he wrote for Wakanda Forever I think is a great example of his skill with melody. It perfectly encapsulates anguish, anger, and a determination to carry on without T'Challa. Those large intervallic leaps that rise up and come down into the depths again are just gut-wrenching. And it truly kicks ass when Ludwig starts throwing the drums behind It in "Welcome Home."
 

Oh, wow, I didn't actually know there was a thread for him, besides the ones on some of his score.
 
Big big fan of his work!!
 
Creed 1 & 2, Black Panther 1 & 2, The Mandalorian, Oppenheimer, Turning Red, the main theme of The Book Of Boba Fett, small parts of Venom.
 
Looking forward to Sinners. A new score by him is always something I look forward to.

This board's own @Steffromuk!

DON’T TEASE US STÉPHANE!

Looks like LLL did get it early. Mine shipped

From what I’ve skimmed of Beltrami, dull and uninspired but functional. I hope Roberts is able to rise above it.
 
Actually, I listened to Roberts’ most streamed track on Spotify, and it sounds very similar to Britell’s Andor theme, so he may actually have been the right choice to continue that sound in the show. 

Yeah, just come out and tell us that it's Prince of Egypt and Road to El Dorado you're working on. We won't be mad that you spoiled the surprise, we promise!

A lot of us know about this cataloguing/renaming technicality stuff from Mike's many podcasts but yes, great to see someone else also caring enough to follow and explain it!
 
UNRELEASED INSERT???

DON’T TEASE US STÉPHANE!

It's the same opening note going on 5 seconds longer... lol
 
And yeah I assume most this is known but just in case anybody was wondering...
 
It's specific to that case of Gladiator though. I mean I'm working on 2 scores at this moment and the "Film Version" listed are actually alternate film versions... 

One thing I wanted to explain, don't bother too much about the label "film version" on some tracks. You might think "why is there a film version and no other version ?", but it's just a technicality to differentiate the tracks with the previously released ones (meaning they are not exactly the same, either longer unedited, or not crossfaded etc.). It doesn't mean they are alternates.
 
Like for instance Patricide was crossfaded in 2000 (they even made a tiny bridge of the string section that last a few seconds longer) while it's not the case here...
