Good point...I saw the word "bellicose" and knowing Williams likes that word, I just assumed it was him Although honestly I always wondered if the liner notes were accidentally referring to the music underscoring the earlier part of the duel, the music that ultimately was unused.

I believe, in the original liner notes for Empire Strikes Back, Williams wrote that it was "Luke applying Yoda's training". Of course, we Williams fans should know in the end not to apply very strict "movie theme" logic to his work.

Sometimes I really wonder if we want some of our favorite composers to have graced the medium and went astray, to ever come back.

When I was in high school, I actually associated one of them as a theme for Quint! Now that I'm older I really like how Williams wrote a good number of motifs that aren't rigidly defined as belonging to someone or something.

Not if you had little siblings.

That would be as improbable as spring!

What was the most traumatic thing you've done listening to the score?

And then you have dudes like Doomcock who probably make stuff up just to make journalists write the word "doomcock" in print.

Well it looks to be a documentary in two parts, one on the 16th, and the other on the 23rd. It appears it will be available on both the DW website, and their YouTube channel.

It starts tomorrow! At least in the US.

Thanks for the warning! I'm still waiting on the Lucas cut of Rise of Skywalker, the erasure of the sequel trilogy from canon, and Kennedy's removal from Lucasfilm!

My exact thoughts watching the video. I guess we now have to be on the watch for Williams' career being completely contextualized and predicated on Star Wars movies. They're trying to rewrite history!

Is that always a matter of one being directly better than the last, though? Isn't it entirely possible for great music to be written for a film that isn't very simpatico with the images? Lalo Schifrin is one of my favorite composers, but I find that a lot of his scores are almost ridiculous in how they play out in context, with some notable exceptions...in that regard, I don't consider him a very good film composer. So the music "transcends" the films in that it's very well written and very satisfying to listen to on its own, but within the films themselves, it's almost a disservice. What would you call that? Unless there's a way to interpret what you're saying that I'm not considering?

With such a big game that would require tons of music to support it, that might by necessity be uninteresting, wouldn't it be part of the territory? I wouldn't see that as a blemish on the score as a whole. It'd be cool if more composers thought in album approach, like what McConnell did with Grim Fandango back in the day, or of course this forum's namesake. Video game soundtrack releases tend to be music dumps more often than not.

He's continuing a very popular trend that we have seen all over for the last decade or so: he's the "spiritual successor" to skyy38. Of course, the idea of wearing a mask to protect others, as has been displayed by countries such as Japan for many years, I would argue promotes a greater sense of community, of neighbors looking after neighbors. It's pretty touching, actually.

Wait, that version is a different arrangement, not VL's original! Get it the hell outta here! Here's the original: no cello, and celeste instead of piano.

DC's dark and disturbing guarantee is a promise, man. I know to you, a promise means nothing, but to me, it's serious.

I'd hope so, the dude explains it eight times every few months.
