You are smarter than that though. A 26 minute interview paired down to a few "juicy" loose sentences, with all the context removed. That's the English press in a nutshell!

Michael 1 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 In a shocking revelation John Williams revealed that he actually has never seen a Star Wars movie in his life (via TheMirror Link): : Quote I let it go. I have not looked at the Star Wars films and that’s absolutely true. When I’m finished with a film, I’ve been living with it, we’ve been dubbing it, recording to it, and so on. You walk out of the studio and, “Ah, it’s finished.” Now I don’t have an impulse to go to the theater and look at it. Maybe some people find that weird, or listen to recordings of my music very, very rarely. True or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 He means after finishing scoring them, and who can blame him? He probably saw each Star Wars movie hundreds of times just working on them and during the recording sessions.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan 689 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 While anything printed in the Daily Mirror, The Sun or Daily (Hate) Mail should automatically be taken with a hefty pinch of salt, I can readily believe that Williams never sat down to watch a completed SW film. He might not feel the need to after he's worked on them so much! I wouldn't be surprised if the same is true for a lot of the films he has worked on, and for other composers (and directors, actors etc) too. There is one thing though - do you think this might be why he thought Across The Stars was the first love theme in the saga? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Oh I absolutely believe it. These movies are part of his job. He watches them professionally. But I doubt he ever pops in a DVD or a rainy evening. Williams has gone on record several times anyway saying that he doesn't watch movies a lot. And if he does I doubt he picks one which he saw professionally 50 to 100 times. MikeH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,319 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It seems weird that Williams never went to the premieres of the prequels or original films? He was the guest of honour for TFA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan 689 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I've heard plenty of stories of cast and crew attending premiers for their films and either sneaking out before it starts or using the time to catch up on some sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense for the actors who sometimes have to attend multiple premieres in different cities. I guess JW would rather the nap time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
