Arpy 4,145 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The poster does look off, if only because Palpatine looks like a cartoon version of himself. It's sloppy but only the teaser poster. As for the footage seen at D23, it truly is reading like a bad fan fic, Rey's double ended red lightsaber, Palpatine narrating the duel between her and Kylo... sounds like video game faff...

crumbs 14,306 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Palpatine does look a bit like a CGI render there, certainly not McDiarmid in make-up. But I'm guessing Palpy spends the majority of the runtime as a CGI ghost-like spirit rather than a physical presence. No doubt until the very end when he takes physical form. Footage sounds cool though. Overall I like the poster though, it's just a teaser anyway. We'll still get the traditional floating heads one when the final trailer drops.

Giftheck 916 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Reading a writeup, the 'sizzle reel' wasn't the same thing as the footage from the film - it was just a recap of 1-8. I'd bet we get that instead of the footage from TROS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee they're not just going to have a recap on GMA. After all the hype, people would riot. Plus the movie's coming out in a few months, it's about time we get some new footage.

Holko 9,525 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I'm gonna take the wildest of guesses and say there's a sliver of a chance that this "epuc piano tinkle and big rumble trailer trash" music might not be Williams.

Tom 4,653 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 A nice trailer (or whatever they are calling it). Perhaps the Yoda's theme at the beginning was new Williams music, but the second half with Rey's was trailer-house stuff. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Arpy 4,145 Posted August 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2019 Sounds like a trailer-house reproduction of the themes, with the Yoda's theme sprinkled with 'Trailer-Tinkling' piano and bass drop.

crumbs 14,306 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I actually really like Rey's Theme in trailer-ised mode, it still works brilliantly. Just further evidence at how malleable Williams' themes are. No matter whether he wrote them 40 or 4 years ago, they can be "modernised" into something as obscure as trailer music. Full credit to Disney as well, rather than just relying on the OT themes (the prequel themes have been conspicuously absent from all marketing though), they've heavily pushed Williams' suite of sequel trilogy themes in the marketing for both sequels, helping fold the new ideas into the existing ones. The lazy and easier option would've been Imperial March or Main Title references ad nauseum, so credit to them for doubling down on Williams' newer, less iconic ideas.
