I couldn't find a link on Youtube, so I had to resort to Spotify, which is less than ideal because not everybody has access to Spotify. But I wanted to get at least some people to hear the reference.

I have found that since release my appreciation for Rey's theme has only continued to grow and grow, as I continue to marvel at how well it works in quiet and large moments, in scenes of darkness and light. It packs that versatility we have come to appreciate from Williams' themes.

Three months later and I'm still fascinated by Rey's theme.

I'm almost afraid to say this but replace fascinated with the word obsessed and that is me.

It's the main reason that I really hope he's coming back, because I still feel like there's a lot of mileage left in it. The end credits arguably have the best renditions of the entire score!

My lord...is that...legal?

 

Put me down as another still-frequent listener when it comes to TFA. Rey's theme doesn't move me quite as deeply as it did at its peak, but it's still a truly wonderful theme that's totally worthy of being included in the same franchise as such greats as the Force theme and whatnot. The score as a whole is very rewarding to listen to, particularly when you strategically combine the OST and FYC.

By contrast Rey's theme is growing evermore and as I've said elsewhere, I seem particularly fond of its use in the end credits. The tying together of the Force Theme and this theme is something special.

That ending is one of Williams' best ever.  It's so glorious and uplifting.

But that first one is a pretty epically awesome one. Probably contains my favourite bit!

There should probably be a law against removing such good stuff.

Disappointing doesn't even begin to describe it. :-(

It's a real shame that the end titles version of Rey's theme has apparently been cut from the blu-ray cut of the end credits.  

 

And they awkwardly added an edited version of Scherzo for X-Wings after her theme and before Ren's.

I wonder what credits were added.  Was the blu-ray mastering team that big?

It never occurred to me that the credits would change on a home video release if the movie itself didn't change.  Is that a new thing, to include the blu ray team in the credits once it's released?

I didn't notice the change to the credits music initially, but you certainly notice once Scherzo for X-Wings starts. Overall the change is pretty inoffensive.

Wait what? I didn't even know they changed end credits on bluray releases. That's kind of unfortunate if it messes up the music. 

 

Off-topic but did we ever get a high quality version of that brief Stat Wars concert with William Ross conducting at that Star Wars Land presentation thing?

Rey's Theme > Anything from the Prequels. That is an absolute!

Even Duel of the Fates which is still damn good.

I barely remember what Rey's theme sounds like. :sleepy:

It sounds like another ticket to heaven being punched.

I'm still having a hard time imagining Rey's theme existing in the Harry Potter world as many people have claimed.  It doesn't work for any of the Harry Potter characters.  Williams couldn't have made a better theme for Rey as it fits perfectly in the film and within the Star Wars universe.
