I read it the same way as you, but that's not what he said. Are you drunk too?

Do you necessarily have to be drunk to misread a post?

I suppose you could also just be an idiot!

It's interesting that they decided not to put a main title recording on the album at the beginning or end. Was wondering if they'd do it.

 

I know it's not in the film but it might have appeased fans. 

 

On track titles...

 

I rather like Giacchino's humorous style when he's working in light animated films, etc., but I'm glad that for SW he's mostly ditching them.

 

Good, serious, simple track titles can take on an almost poetic quality.

There's been a spoiler going out for awhile about the Whills being involved in jedha so at least it's inline with that. 

 

Tracktitles also seem to fit with what has been rumoured about the plot. 

 

Cool! I knew there was supposed to be a mythology connection there but I didn't know the specifics, really. 

 

I've always been fascinated by the Journal and look forward to a name drop or more.

"Appease fans"? You make it sound like they're infuriated the movie won't have a opening crawl/main title.

 

Plus, why would they feel the need to "appease fans" by putting a main title recording on the album? It would be a bit ridiculous, to be honest.

 

Well, I guess that was the soundtrack producers' reasoning.

Me likey. 

 

Excitement increasing.

[Will 2,215]

Can't listen now. Does it have a big thematic statement? 

 

Can't see the film until the Saturday. 

 

I'll almost certainly listen to the OST beforehand -- I don't think I'll have the patience to wait, and if the score isn't immediately likeable then it'll end up being a bad experience if I watch the film first.

[aj_vader 533]

Can't wait to check out that Imperial Suite! New Recording of The Imperial March!?

 

They should have just re-recorded the concert version for the CD. 

[Disco Stu 15,495]

I wish I was more excited for this score, but Giacchino's had kind of a disappointing 2016 for me so far with just a few standout tracks.  I'm certainly going in with as open a mind as I can manage and want to like it though!

[Chewy 2,376]

The OST lasts 69:28 (source: https://www.dodax.com/music-cds-dvds-vinyl/soundtracks-songs/michael-giacchino-rogue-one-a-star-wars-story-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-pn0cpp73/)

TOTAL TIME - 69:28

[Disco Stu 15,495]

Mostly pretty short tracks.

[Jay 37,285]

Basically 58 minutes of score cues, then 11 1/2 minutes of suites

[Chewy 2,376]

Yeah quite short tracks but a big Jyn suite! I'm also pretty sure the samples are already available somewhere! Gonna try to find them for today xD

[Jay 37,285]

Bring on the Deluxe Edition / session leak

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[Jay 37,285]

If Rogue One is a 2-hour score like Jurassic World is, then I will likely find the OST program unsatisfactory

[BloodBoal 7,538]

[aj_vader 533]

I've been looking for samples they are no where to be found

It all depends on the cues selection!

True although there was nothing wrong that WAS included on the JW CD. It's just that it wasn't enough.

Seems like they're always on a German website. Checked all the online German music stores?

[Jwfan2234 59]

A suite shouldn't be 2 minutes 

[Will 2,215]

Yay, times!

 

I think these times are perfectly fine. I doubt they're really any shorter than JW's TFA ones.

 

Well, I guess I am a little disappointed that two of the suites are on the short side.

[Chewy 2,376]

As for the samples, I tried to find them but I've found nothing yet. I don't remember, did we have samples for TFA before it leaked?

I disagree, actually.  In Jurassic World's case, there's a good 15-20 minutes of material chosen I would have swapped out for different music, and ended up with a CD much more representative of everything Giacchino had going on with that score

The only thing I would get rid off is the entire source music section. I didn't care for any of those.

I don't either, actually.  They play perfectly fine in the film, but are the least essential music recorded for the film to be presented with precious OST space for sure...

Thanks for checking for this score though!

A suite shouldn't be 2 minutes 

 

Now that I think about it, these suites aren't really that short at all. 

 

Consider:

 

Both TFA and RO have three concert/album arrangements on the OST (Rogue One could in theory have more, but there are just three obvious ones). 

 

"Imperial Suite" is 2:30; "March of the Resistance" is 2:33.

 

"Jyn and Hope Suite" is 5:52; "Rey's Theme" is 3:11.

 

"Whills Suite" is 2:53; "Scherzo for X-Wings" is 2:30. 

 

Now, of course, TFA also has an extra suite that was written for the film itself (the end credits), which is rather long (6:37). 

[leeallen01 2,133]

Yeah great point. A great 2 minute suite is better than a bad and overstaying-its-welcome 8 minute suite for example. 

 

 

[Will 2,215]

I watched the new clip. Sounds great! A little like Williams' own Shark Cage Fugue. 

 

Also, I've seen speculation here that the Imperial Suite is just a suite of old Williams material, but somehow I feel like it will be largely or completely original. Remember that Giacchino has said only about 5 percent of the score is old themes. There will be a lot of Empire in this film and he's surely found it necessary to come up with a new theme or two for Krennic, etc. given that he's evidently saving the Williams themes for certain special moments. I'd guess those new themes will make up the suite. 

 

[Manakin Skywalker 4,891]

Spoiler

"Your Father Would Be Proud". Hmm... sounds like Galen dies?

 

[Luke Skywalker 1,792]

indeed. I was going to comment how spoilerish that was.

[Will 2,215]

Oh... Didn't even think about that. Gee, thanks for spoiling it Mankin! 

[Manakin Skywalker 4,891]

I forgot to make it a spoiler!

 

And hey, don't blame me... blame Djiatinno!

Well the music here is definitely better. It's got a nice JW progression to it. I'm just not sure how much I enjoy listening to someone else put on their John Williams hat.

[crumbs 14,300]

David Collins had some interesting things to say about Rogue One's score on the new Star Wars Oxygen podcast. It sounded pretty positive to me, but he admitted Jyn's Theme had no impact on him (he couldn't even work out what it was).
