Josh500 1,615 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Will TFA be better than TPM? Somehow I doubt it.But it will still be better than 99,99% of film scores being released this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewya 360 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I really wonder if it will leak before the 18th. If it hasn't leaked before that, I will try record the audio on my phone when I go see it on the 16th, might as well do that anyway to get my head around the score, what we have and what's missing and so on.Not sure if it the sound will be good though but it is worth a try.

Scarpia 132 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 It worked precisely the way they wanted. I'm surprised they could prevent major leaks this far, and be so secretive with almost every key aspect of the film.Segments of the score were the final hit for me. I want this album!

The big sites weren't reporting on them I guess.I doubt anyone has been as actively reading all the spoilers that have been reported over the past year on MSW, SWU, MF, etc. as me.I read it all.The consensus is that although we know a lot and a lot has leaked, some MAJOR plot elements have never leaked nor surfaced, not even among the most trusted sources.In any plot synopis based on the spy reports, you'll always find these important gaps.People know WHAT happens during most the movie; people just don't know WHY certain things happen, keeping even the spoiler-infested fans intrigued till the end.JJ managed to keep key elements a true mystery, an amazing feet these days.

Henry B 50 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Listening to Revenge of the Sith as I await the new score. What strikes me is how good the individual moments are - and how little cohesion there is. A lot of the blame certainly lies with Lucas. There's the fact that large sections of the film were not made available to Williams and ended up with tracked music from the previous films. The narrative and thematic framework of the score is filled with holes because of this; certain ideas could not be developed or brought to completion (probably the most egregious unscored scene is Vader's march on the Jedi Temple). Then there's Lucas's editing style in general - just terrible for a dramatic score. Quick wipe, transition, shot of a ship landing, two lines of dialogue, another shot of a ship landing... too fragmentary to satisfactorily score. But I also think Williams dropped the ball on a few occasions; two complete renditions of "Qui-Gon's Funeral" in a row? What on Earth? As wonderful as that piece was in the context of The Phantom Menace, we really didn't need to hear it twice. And why didn't we ever hear much of Anakin's Theme? So what we're left with (both on album and in the unreleased stuff) is a series of brilliant moments, but a whole that is less than the sum of its parts.Abrams' editing style is totally different. I have high hopes that this score will feel complete and cohesive. Jacck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,645 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 RotS is the best prequel score for me for that exact reason. I can enjoy the individual pieces.
