Astro_Boy 0 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hi all, Old timer here with a new login since I lost the password to my original and no longer have the email address that was used for it. Anyway, came across this in my internet travels and while it has a passing resemblance to JW's style, it doesn't sound that much like his work, but it is TFA related so you never know. https://youtu.be/DIkWgcTnYas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter.anschutz 43 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Is there even a precedent for Williams scoring merchandise commercials? I wasn't old enough - and didn't care enough - during the prequel years to pay attention. If Williams scored individual commercials then, I can see the cause for concern now. But I don't see one if they simply lifted music he had already written for the film(s) or from third part music libraries. If that's the case now (which it seems to be), it has nothing to do with Williams but rather a decision by Disney and/or the merchandising companies manufacturing the products.To me, it makes sense that they would ask Williams to score the main trailers for the film but use something else for the "lesser" commercials, teasers, and the like. I mean think about it, if they use TFA's music for commercials, they must have a rather limited selection to choose from compared to using existing music. If they did that for every commercial between this summer and December 18, they'd be using the same music over and over again. Therefore, if they'll use TFA's music at all before the film is released it most likely won't be for petty merchandise commercials. On the other hand, it makes perfect sense that they would use TFA's music for certain product commercials *after* the film hits theaters; for example, the home video release advertisements.tl;dr - Stop being paranoid and just think about this all logically. Using third party music for petty merchandising commercials and 15 second teasers is not indicative of Williams health and well being. Probably.

No, Williams' absence from advertisements is obviously indicative of health troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OT and PT teasers and trailers featured music from the films that came before it. There's a chance the upcoming trailer may feature TFA music, but I have a feeling Williams wrote something specific to the trailer. At least, I hope so. We should be grateful and thankful that Williams took the time write music for the teasers since he doesn't do it very often. Companies like Mashable aren't going to spend a fortune to have Williams write music specifically for their commercials. It would be a waste of money - they want to sell their product, not show off new Williams music at their expense. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I don't think anyone was claiming Williams scored the car commercial, just that it was a bit from the score being used for the commercial.Doesn't make much difference now since we have our answer!
