I hope so.

I'm 3 out of 4!

I miss @artyjeffrey

The first score is pleasant enough but there is hardly any worthy thematic material worth reprising. I mean, come on.

Say hello to Starkiller II.  They started building it during the events of TLJ.

I don't know. Given that he's going to be directing the third film, at this point I wish Abrams would have just done all three (and never thought I'd say that). I had my issues with TFA, but at least with one director Abrams would have been able to tell a cohesive story where each part builds on the next. As it is Johnson, in what I can only think is pure self-indulgence in service of his own artistic pretensions, completely reset the board, and Abrams will essentially be making a stand alone film.  
 
I don't have issues with Johnson wanting to take the films in a new direction, and even being subversive to what a Star Wars film is supposed to be.  I just don't think one of the Saga films was the place to do it.  We waited 30+ years to see Luke Skywalker in action again...and didn't.  And we'll never have that chance again, because it was simply sacrificed, along with a good part of the mythology, at the altar of a director's own vanity.  Johnson needs to realise that Star Wars is bigger than whatever his pet vision for the story was. 
 
And for letting him to do this, along with the Rogue One and Han Solo fiascos, I'm beginning to question if Kennedy is the right person to head up this franchise long term.
 
 

Actually I'd forgotten about Prisoner of Azkaban, a legitimately well made film. The best one.

What? The Potter movies are the definition of franchise adaptation pedestrianism, they're wholly unremarkable from beginning to end.

Nobody in my peer group would give enough of a shit to develop either strong feelings of 'love' or 'hate' for such a movie. But to each his/her own.
 
At this point, the movie ran already 15 minutes too long. 

Gia!

Poe: "I'll hold"
Hux: "Can he hear me?!?" 
 
Mega-cringe. Two minutes in.

Here’s an interview with Desplat where he mentions leaving Rogue One;

Man of Steel is a good score

Who knows?
 
Even if he did it’s not going to change my opinion of how much I enjoy Rogue One.

Gary Kurtz left as well. 

That's how it always starts, they're honoured and humbled. Then comes the running and screaming.

That would be rather funny. 
 
Rogue One End Credits roll, lights come on.......
 
Williams: “Kathleen dear, may we have a word in private?”
 
Williams gently removes his glasses, door slams shut, horrified Disney & Lucasfilm employees hear screaming, muffled words they only though possible in nightmares.....

John Williams speaking to Kathleen Kennedy with John Powell looking on in frustration.

You could ask the people who know the people.
 
I laughed at him recommending Desplat. I could picture Kathleen Kennedy asking if he was serious and has he been living under a rock for the last year.

Actually I believe that was me who said that, I think...

Or...”suck it JWFANS!”
