The Last Jedi THE LAST JEDI - Score as heard in the movie thread - SPOILERS ALLOWED

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,647]

Never thought i would hear the ending of the Yoda's theme concert version in a film.

The credits list a song by John Williams and (i think) Johnny Mercer. 

 

And another one by someone other than JW.

Which track has Darth Sidous theme?

[Jay 41,263]

It is not on the OST album.

Is that a spoiler?

You are literally inside a thread that says "SPOILERS ALLOWED" in the title, @TheUlyssesian.

[Jost1 105]

The use of the Emperor's theme was pretty great as it tied it all together.

Yes!

[BloodBoal 7,542]

Wut? How so?

[Joe Brausam 222]

It was a fantastic statement of the theme actually, better than any in the prequel scores.

I didn't notice. Thank god I didn't read anything major.

[Bryant Burnette 714]

If you care about spoilers but are reading ANY Star Wars threads -- anywhere -- right now, you are a stone-cold fool.

[Marcus 394]

Just saw the film (which I thought was very good), and can only say that it was perfectly scored.

 

I'm sure I'm echoing many in stating that the film really is an extension of TFA's narrative (more so than any previous SW film in relation to its direct predecessor), something which certainly does inform the score. 

 

It really doesn't call for any big new themes, and in providing one for Rose, Williams is already more than generous (even though I'm glad he supplied it). 

 

What I will say, is that the score as heard in the film feels fresh, despite the many callbacks (many of which also have a bittersweet tinge to them). 

 

Looking forward to hearing the OST!

[Lewya 361]

Let us know what you think when you get the chance to hear it. Would be nice to hear if you think it is better than TFA of not too.

[Balahkay 629]

For those who have seen the film, is Snokes torture music similar to A Jedi's Fury, The Emperor's Death, a mixture of both or something else? I understand this music is not on the OST and I've been reading contradictory reports.

[King Mark 3,780]

I want to know about the unreleased music before seeing the film without reading major spoiler

 

but Jay locked my thread

[Jay 41,263]

There aren't really any movie spoilers in this thread yet, it's pretty safe to read.  Plus, not many people who have seen the film have also heard the OST, so how would they know what's unreleased?

[King Mark 3,780]

yeah but I don't know exactly what's safe to read in the next few days

 

I might not see the film for a week or so

[Jay 41,263]

I think the answer to your problem is to just go see the film sooner, or just not care if you read plot spoilers.

 

An entire thread centered around people trying to remember what was in the film but not on the CD, without being able to describe the scene the music scored, makes absolutely no sense.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,647]

Indeed!

[Alex 2,915]

Wow I went in to the movie without having heard any of the score and oh my that was impressive. The action material felt more fleshed out than TFA. Didn't mind the callbacks at all. Loved the statements of Rose's theme. Can't wait to hear the OST

[Sandor 853]

Saw the film yesterday and I thought it was amazing. I was disappointed by TFA (liked it, wanted to love it). The score worked wonderful. So glad I can type that, after months of building up excitement. Hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I did. 

[Incanus 5,848]

I saw the film yesterday as well and I liked it a lot and the score was very impressive and had some truly wonderful goosebump-inducing moments. Very much in line with the TFA and a continuation of that sound. Mark Hamill was brilliant in this one.

 

As others have I too noted only two new prominent themes, the music for Rose and for the rebirth of Rebellion/Fighting Spirit related also to the Resistance/Rebellion that seem to be sandwiched into a single concert suite in the end credits.

[King Mark 3,780]

My first question:  is the ominous last part of The Spark on the OST  expanded further to include the Kylo Ren motif like in the trailer music, or that was just added by the trailer guys

 

And are there unreleased renditions of Rose's Theme?

[artguy360 1,980]

I need the whole score now. The OST presentation is fine but because the film has nearly wall to wall music, I don't think I can appreciate it fully with just the OST. I can't imagine only ever listening to a condensed OST version of TESB score and still appreciating the score the way I do with the special edition OST release. 

[Bilbo 3,934]

I thought the opening blast of the main title had a lot more weight to it than TFA.

 

The action Music was a lot stronger too. Prequel style percussion helped I think.

 

Everything about the film was a good blend of all theee trilogies I thought.

Guys, I can't find my absolute favourite musical moment from the film on the OST.

Am I not listening to it right, or is it not included?

 

It's when:

Admiral Holdo turns the ship around

It's a very brassy rendition if I recall correctly.

[Chewy 2,637]

There is a rehashed version of "You Need A Pilot" in the movie, but still not on the OST....maybe we'll finally get it for Episode IX

[BloodBoal 7,542]

[Oskar 80]

Found it!!!! It's actually in de Finale track from 5:30 to 6:25. 

Whew! Listening to that on repeat now 

 

[Bilbo 3,934]

I didn’t think the Emperor’s Theme it Superstructure Chase would work but they absolutely do. The latter is just a bad ass moment of music in the film and I love it .

[Bryant Burnette 714]

I saw the movie a second time tonight, and in the Canto Bight sequence there is what I believe to be a quick statement of the melody to "The Long Goodbye"!

 

It's a great score.  I have no idea if it will be represented well on disc; I have no idea if the new themes measure up to the other major themes.  (I need to listen to them divorced from the movie.)  But the score as presented in the movie is terrific.

 

Big shock.

 

There is a piece of content that plays in front of "fan event" shows that is all about Williams, by the way.  Nothing earth-shattering, but highly awesome for him to be given that sort of spotlight.

Ah, is it for the shot of the "red flower guy"?

[Bryant Burnette 714]

It's for the last of his appearances, yes.

[Incanus 5,848]

Yes I spotted the song listed in the end credits but missed it in the film.

[crocodile 8,859]

Extremely erratic score. Not sure what to make of it.

 

Karol

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,647]

Embrace it!

[Darth Mulder 154]

Is Canto Bight composed by Williams?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,647]

Yes. 

 

All music on the OST is composed by John Williams.

[Darth Mulder 154]

I'm stuck on track 9 It's so catchy

It's not really. Just listen more

[crocodile 8,859]

I've not had a chance to hear the album. 

 

Karol

[Jost1 105]

Yeah I understand that. It can sound quite chaotic with all the sound effects in place, and stuff like that

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,647]

Even without it does, but in a good way.

[Darth Mulder 154]

Who  orchestrated the music?

[aviazn 273]

Just got back from the film. Love most of what I heard of the score—though it seemed mixed lower than TFA, which I know is counter to other reports here.

 

I liked how it really does feel like an extension of TFA, with little links the likes of which you never saw in either of the previous trilogies, like when the bouncy motif from "On the Inside" is reprised in "The Supremacy".

 

Having said that, Rose's theme in the film is a miss for me. It's fine on its own, and I like that it sounds like it's from another era—but it never felt right for any of the moments it scored. Came across as a little too sickly sweet—kind of like Giacchino's "hope" theme.

[Damien F 1,794]

Just saw the film. A few quick non spoiler thoughts:

 

A statement of Poe's theme is microedited from the opening track.

 

There are a few more statements of Rey's theme in the movie however they aren't too different to what we already have. Except for one really nice version when she is with Luke. It is brief but my favourite unreleased moment

 

EDIT: I meant to post this in the non-spoiler thread but posted it here by mistake. I was rushing as my phone battery was dying. 

[Darth Mulder 154]

Not very much new music. Only used old themes from TFA and The Original trilogy. It reminded me of working on Superman sequel scores. Just a musical adaptation and old good themes. Nothing more.
