(This is pretty great)

There's currently no reason to hope for anything good here.

I saw some sheet music sites list band and beginner band arrangements for TROS so I emailed Hal Leonard and all they could say was that they were coming soon, and to keep an eye out but that they didn't have a date yet. I figured one of you around here would notice those or the Signature Edition before I would, though. It feels like its been so much longer since the movie than it has been. I guess because people stopped talking about it REAL quickly.

Can they get someone better to perform it?

The piece linked in the post above as an example of what sounds like Williams. Ron.

I can definitely hear it in Parting Ways. Solo is such an absolutely wonderful score.

I mean, you also have to consider they didn't bother putting the isolated score track on the blu ray. That was the last time I was getting bamboozled by their home media releases.

How much you wanna bet it's just going to be a compilation of those interviews from right before the movie came out?

I'm so bummed I have to miss film night for a wedding this year. Empire live with the Pops isn't a bad consolation prize.

We go see them all the time. They're a wonderful orchestra and a comfy venue. We're going to Return of the Jedi in a couple weeks with them.

I've been doing a lot of arranging lately, and I'm not nearly as good at transcribing as a lot of people are. Is there any good resource out there for transcriptions people have done for Williams scores? PDF format, MIDI format, or even editable Finale/Sibelius files would be awesome. I've found lots of old, meh quality MIDIs of mostly Star Wars scores on what looks like 90s Geocities sites, but assumed there would be much more of that... or is it the sort of thing that's frowned upon or the record labels try to clamp down on? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

I'm sure he means as its presented in the last part of the The Force Awakens end credits.

Any guesses on when they'd put out a score for something from The Rise of Skywalker? Anxious to get my hands on one.

Those were all the same lightsaber. In Luke's case he was just a vision anyway and in Rey's case here they just fixed it. That's why the middle looks patched up.

I must have listened to it 3-5 times this morning in a row. I haven't done that with a piece of music in a LONG time.
