I think it’s going to be cancelled, and that breaks my heart because this was probably my last chance to see Williams. But it’s for the best.

I stand corrected. Is that the only appearance that’s not tracked out of Falcon Flight?

Well, it definitely does sound like Poe’s theme or a new variation of it to me, but not in the sense that Ben’s theme is later in the film. It’s not a new, recurring idea, but a variation that, as far as we know, was only written to appear that one time. Just sound editors did their thing and mucked it up.

@crumbs, reading your takedown of JJ and TROS is cathartic. Thank you.

Similarly, I am skeptical of claims that the heroic melody from Falcon Flight is a new theme/motif as many including that review claim. As far as I can tell, Falcon Flight was just chopped up and pasted all over the movie. I didn’t hear anything that sounded like that idea used in different contexts by Williams

He definitely reads JWFan.

Doesn’t it play when Lando rescues Finn?

Seems like JJ, in all his fanboyism, thought it was enough for Williams just to be involved in the film, like his name was more important than his work. Johnson was more interested in actually collaborating with Williams. Of course, TFA is still a masterpiece to my ears and the best of the three in score, but it’s faults (low mixing, short/choppy cues) speak to that different approach. I think TLJ has more going on under the hood.

I don’t think crowdfunding would have worked lol

Ugh the fact it sold that cheap makes my stomach turn

I think if everyone contributed say $20, we could make a serious go. We’d just need to designate one person who everyone trusts to manage it.

lmao As someone who has actually been featured on that very news affiliate, I can tell you they are garbage muckrakers and no one takes them seriously. I wouldn’t consider them representative of the media.

I would have paid that much for it in lossless. Those 192 kbps files suuuck. I know some people here don’t really mind, but I’d rather not even listen to them in that quality.

Shit, I woulda paid $99 for that

He was nominated for ESB. They reference his nominations, not his wins, unless I’m misunderstanding the point being made here
