Ricard 2,245 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I've always disliked Superman, so...yeah. Easy comparison for me.I knew it!I've only listened to Superman a couple of times, really. Remember my age!What does age have to do with the number of times one can listen to a JW masterpiece?

Damien F 1,742 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 That brief moment of the force theme transitioning to Rey's theme near the end of the credits is absolutely gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Rey's Theme is much better than what I was expecting from the trailer.Didn't really like that first statement of the Rebel Fanfare though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 To drop my two cents into the Superman matter, I always thought that score is superior to Star Wars in terms of chronological flow. More like a tone poem it is.But, as I probably won't listen to TFA until it leaks on the internet or shows up on local radio, I can't really comment on it, other than I am expecting that John will have done his best with the modern cinematic material he has to deal with. I also think that, like Abrams, he is introducing things for this film that another composer(s), or even he himself, might elaborate on in the next two installments.

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 So who here that HAS seen the film wants to take a crack at the chronological list of tracks? Looking at the track titles, it seems the OST is pretty much in chronological order. Of course, since Rey's theme is a concert version, you should put it at the end (or at the beginning. It's up to you!), but apart from that, looks chronological to me (maybe you have to switch Scherzo For X-Wings and The Ways Of The Force, but I'm not sure of that).

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Just finished my first listen through, having not seen the film. Much of it was more anonymous than I would like. The first track, for example, followed a lackluster title performance with a lot of aimless action music that I'm not sure left an impression on me, or at least, not yet. I'm sure, as I unpack this score, I will find plenty to enjoy in those sequences.Not that my reaction is negative. Those are just some of the feelings I had. I'm sure I will only love it more and more as I relisten.The highlights for me are Scherzo for X-Wings and The Jedi Steps. The latter left me near tears as it segued into the end credits. If this did end up being Williams' final Star Wars score, which I doubt it will be, that would be a perfectly fitting send off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien F 1,742 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 That title performance was notably lackluster. I certainly missed the LSO for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I thought it was a lot better then the one used in TPM, AOTC and ROTS.But to be honest I've heard that theme so many times it's hard to stay focused for 90 seconds.

It's quite different rhythmically and harmonically, and although the melody is similar, it has an extra note in the middle (the 3rd of the six pitches is not part of the 5 note opening melody of L&L) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
