Ironic that a person who hates The Last Jedi can't see the argument of disliking a new approach beyond the fundamental premise.

Williams is a master of the long con. He wanted to expand his "glossary" to include a theme for Han from the beginning, but he didn't know how he'd get the chance, until Disney took over. Being the shrewd old man he is, he knew Desplat's approach would be at odds with Rogue One; it was HE who suggested Giacchino as a replacement. 
 
All he had to do was wait for his plan to unfold. Giacchino delivered candy-ass pastiche, just as he expected. And just as he expected, he was asked by Kathleen Kennedy of his opinion. "Kathy," he said sweetly, "Michael is a supremely talented young man. But if you'll allow me the arrogance, I have a certain kinship with the Star Wars sound, if you will. Would you give me the humble privelege of selecting the composer for the next film? It's a...Han Solo film, is that right? Which reminds me: whoever I choose, I would like to offer them a slight guiding hand, if you'll allow the suggestion. Perhaps just a small piece of music...."
 
And we know the rest from there....

Is that what watching Titanic does to your brain?

Say what you will, Giacchino definitely looks like the person who writes the music he does.

Knowing your Twitter fame, I'm surprised they didn't give you an advanced screening! They could sponsor you as Star Wars Dad or something, you could be the next big digital influencer!

Gentlemen, please. All of this bickering over semantics on scheduling, scores written in short time frames, it's getting us nowhere.
 
Can't we all just be reasonable and agree that Giacchino is a mediocre dandy?

"Nothing's more Star Wars than brass triplets, right? I'll make sure I do it again and again to let people know they're listening to Star Wars!"

Typical reasons for a forum-goer: I was a dumb teenager then who spewed responses to every topic like a sick hyena vomiting its lunch.

if someone spoke to you imitating your accent, syntax and vocabulary, would you be grateful that they pay homage to it? I don't think Williams is very fond of other people using his material. I think great artist encourage other people to develop their own voices and not to canibalize someone else's vocabulary. Notice that Williams tends to speak highly of composers who sound absolutely nothing like him.

Forgot about that one, it's a good one!
 
 

I'm not afraid of you and your aggressive tone, Bellsy. Bring it!
 
 

I also love it when Williams mixes triplets into duplet-passages...with his sense of flow, I think Williams would make an interesting rapper.
