Arpy 4,145 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Does anyone think there might be new material or just a reimagining/ rearrangement of the old stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,374 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 No one knows, but I'd have to guess the first teaser trailer will feature nothing but existing music, because Disney wants everyone to know there's a new Star Wars movie coming out, and that it's more like the OT than the PT, and features characters from the OT to boot. I'm expecting a nostalgic trailer for the first teaser, with not a whole lot revealed.Later trailers might be a different story, but who really knows.

King Mark 3,631 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 But why don't they just cut and paste old recordings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,374 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Well I assume whatever was recorded yesterday was timed to specifically fit the new teaser trailer. Plus it will be a perfect modern digital recording and not an analog recording from the 70s, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Here's the shocker. The entire score for Episode 7 will consist only of re-recorded cues from the OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,641 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 It would still be more original than Home Alone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Well I think that he probably recorded more than the teaser but at this point it's speculation until someone lays down the cold hard facts.It would still be more original than Home Alone 2HA 2 Was great. I love Christmas Star and Star of Bethlehem. The reprisals of Somewhere in my Memory were plesant and as far as how it played in the film everything seemed ok. But holy shizz the film was terrible.

Jay 37,374 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 RUMORS about the teaser trailer: it'll be short. And when I say short, I mean one minute long. It's going to have The Force Theme played on woodwinds, softly, over flashing images of the main leads, each fading to black. There's no dialogue, just reveals of the characters. And then the music swells up into a full orchestral piece - perhaps what John Williams recorded this weekend? - and we hear a female voice, likely Daisy Ridley's, saying "Wake up." http://badassdigest.com/2014/11/17/what-will-the-first-star-wars-the-force-awakens-trailer-contain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I love how he reworked the Duel of the Fates there!

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I love it when he quotes the Fellowship theme. It sounds fantastic, and shows how Williams really respects his multi-billion dollar franchise composing peers. Oh and those vuvuzelas! Absolutely orgasmic!And organic, too!

Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Based off of the description, the teaser sounds like a combination of the teaser for Attack of the Clones and The Empire Strikes Back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omcxaMEGha0#t=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I remember seeing Monsters Inc. to see that teaser trailer! Whoever cut the prequel trailers together should win Oscars. Okay, the later Clones ones weren't very good, but that's because there was literally no good dialogue to use. Remember how all the good or decent lines from The Phantom Menace were used in the trailers and most of them were actually better takes than the ones used in the film? Sorry, I'm going off on a tangent here, but you got me all giddy with that Episode II trailer. I'm actually nostalgic for the days when it actually looked like it was going to be good and we had new Williams music left and right. Isn't that the Main Title from Close Encounters at the end?

Faleel 5,360 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Isn't that the Main Title from Close Encounters at the end?I think thats from TESB, Departure of Boba Fett or Clash of Lightsabers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balahkay 627 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Would they have used so many pieces of music in one minute? I'm guessing the piece will be similar to the Binary Sunset, which is coincidentally right around one minute. If they really want to capture the magic of the OT and specifically the original film, then the use of Binary Sunset is a no-brainer. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a new interpretation of the Force theme, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
