Arpy 4,145 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 In defense of Rogue One - that was quite a dour film, and the last time I saw it I thought it tried to pull off some moments of levity, but ended up making the film feel like a mish-mash of conflicting tones. Any score would've had to paint that canvas with the same colours and I think Giacchino managed a fine effort in bridging Williams' OT style with his own modern sensibilities. 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the action music just ended up sounding like alot of dull (not so much dull as in boring, but as in like blunt) pounding, though a lot of Gia's crews stuff can sound like that (for instance Chad Seiter' stuff) That's Just how I felt though, if someone else liked it thats okay!

Kasey Kockroach 2,344 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I find R1 and Solo comparisons intriguing, though less from a simplistic ‘which one is better’ question. Also nothing in Williams’ SW scores makes me pure unadulterated happy like 4:49 of Mine Mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,044 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 They really are radically different approaches to scoring a Star Wars standalone film. Rogue One very much goes the Williams pastiche route, albeit filtered through Giacchino's very different musical voice. Solo quotes Williams' work and obviously revolves around his new thematic material, but it never veers into pastiche territory. Overall, I'd say I appreciate its presence in the franchise more than R1's (although I prefer R1 as a film overall). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1 apes his stylistic tendencies on a superficial level, but not in a way that accesses what makes JW's work compelling. The parts of R1 that I like best tend to sound more Giacchino than Williams.

DrTenma 116 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 So I came across this on www.hans-zimmer.com. Seems to be the cue sheet unordered but including the bits with John Wiliams material: Couple of interesting things.

Some of the cues I couldn't find at all like Family Stories A, Gonna Be A Pilot or To Tatooine Pt 2 probably have all one thing in common : I guess they're 100% credited to JW. That cuesheet matches in fact with the credits I posted above that come from JP's team. Interestingly, the 2018 Album does credit Williams very specifically on every cue any of his material is used (The % come from the fact Powell & Mounsey are ASCAP, Williams, Willis & Sener are BMI) : ADVENTURES OF HAN (HAN SOLO THEME) JW 100% MEET HAN JP 28% JW 72% CORELLIA CHASE JP 50% JW BS 50% SPACEPORT JP 55% JW AW 45% FLYING WITH CHEWIE JP 48% JW AW 52% TRAIN HEIST JP 92% JW 8% MARAUDERS ARRIVE JP 55% JW BS 45% CHICKEN IN THE POT JP 100% IS THIS SEAT TAKEN?

I’ve come across multiple albums on iTunes that list—in the Composer field—a composer whose music was referenced/used in the track, even though they themselves had nothing to do with writing the specific track. I think it’s an iTunes/digital music store common practice. The Artist field seems to be used for the guy who specifically worked on the track for the most part (generally the main composer of the soundtrack), while the Composer field is used to list every composer whose music was featured in the track. Take for instance “Canto Bight” from TLJ; in the Composer field we have "John Williams & Ary Barroso” because “Brazil” is quoted—even though Ary Barroso obviously had nothing to do with TLJ. Or another example: The recent “Quite a Soldier” track from Mandalorian Season 2 lists “Ludwig Göransson & John Williams” in the Composer field due to the JW reference it uses.

Obviously there's no way to know exactly how the original scenes were edited, but I tried. Not too much editing was necessary; for part 1 I needed to edit out about 1-2 seconds of footage (I randomly selected a very short shot), for part 2 I needed to simply extend the transition between the opening portion and the latter portion since the second half doesn't sync correctly if left unedited. Mimban Battle Heh, thanks for that! I've only seen this film once so barely remember any of the plot developments. I also forgot how dark and muddy looking the film is; When Han's Theme kicked in here I thought he was running away from battle, not doing what he was supposed to! The choir-backed rendition of the gang theme when Beckett is introduced is kinda goofy in context, makes sense why they mixed out the choir in the actual film (but I love it on the album) 22 hours ago, Manakin Skywalker said: Not as significant, but I also restored the Oksana Floren cue. Not nearly as edited in the film, but there are a few cuts and loops here and there, most notably when the Pike character is revealed.

Datameister 2,044 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 @Manakin Skywalker we're talking about creating fantasy versions of the credits with "The Adventures of Han" included, not just how to segue from "To Tatooine". P.S. After further consideration, I've moved my v1 from earlier into my own custom Solo playlist, replacing the "real" end credits. I was just doing these for the fun of it, but I think that one does a really nice job of wrapping up the score! I'm still keeping the full concert suite at the beginning too like the OST, though.

So the track arrangement of the Deluxe works for me! For reasons that I can't figure out TAOH sounds like a Williams piece that he decided to use for Solo. But when Powell gets it and arranges it it feel like Han. It certainly feels like the Han we see in Solo. I loved that movie and I'm disappointment we don't appear to be getting a sequel. I'm loving the Deluxe edition but I still can't say that I know all the nooks and crannies like I do the Original Trilogy or Superman so I'm not entirely certain what was missing other than some delightful Williams quotes.

Even as a wee tyke, I recall sitting through the original movies out of obligation than being compelled by what I was seeing. Space ventures just were never my thing. Powell just jives with me for whatever reason. Even when he’s scoring for a genre or subject I’m otherwise not interested in, I’m compelled to delve into listening. I don’t give a rat’s poop about the character Chewbacca, but Powell can sure trick me into believing otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's definitely a combination of the writing itself and the sound of the recording. And come to think of it, part of the reason these fun credits edits work is the fact that you're transitioning from Williams to Williams, not Williams to Powell or vice versa.

I never really made the connection that it was used in a few scores I'm familiar with. I think I repainted it as part of a Halloween costume at one point many, many years ago but I'm sure it still sounds the same, assuming I still have it somewhere. Yeah, you can hear it at a more recognizable pitch here at the beginning: And here at 2:00 Which also sounds like this now that I think of it: Here is for comparison and visual: Manakin Skywalker and Smeltington 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manakin Skywalker 4,897 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Great, now I feel the urge to go searching for it and recording my own VST library... brb in a few hours... Since we're on the topic of Star Wars anyway, I also did notice it in Haab's Battlefront 2 score a few times, and possibly in JFO if I recall correctly.

I would be 100% interested in such a VST. Manakin Skywalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although reverb I imagine would help a bit. EDIT: I did find an example in Battlefront 2, it appears a couple times in the main menu suite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony 572 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 And it's absolutely used in JFO - don't know the track name exactly but one of the cues played on Kashyyyk. Something which I don't recall seeing get discussed before is Battlefront 2. It came out in November 2017 - a good 6 months before Solo. Now take a listen to the track Han's Kessel Run - https://soundcloud.com/gordyhaab/06-hans-kessel-run 1:03 onwards is the quite-but-not-quite version of the Solo theme. Does anybody know when Williams recorded his demos? I find it hard to believe this just happened by coincidence and assume Gordy Haab was "in" on what Williams and Powell were working on.
