Popular Post ocelot 549 Posted March 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2018 Solo is being recorded in London right now so Williams theme for Han is already done. I guess that makes sense since it comes out in May. I'm actually excited to hear Williams' theme and Powell's score. aj_vader, Pieter Boelen, Will and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 4,386 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 The thing I'm curious about regarding the score (for a film I couldn't care less about) is whether Williams writing a theme means that he wrote a full suite of the theme, which will feature on the album, or whether he just provided a sketch and played it on the piano and left that to Powell.

ocelot 549 Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 I'm sure there will be both. A piano sketch for Powell to have for the theme to orchestrate in the cues as he will, and he'll write a concert suite if it is a full theme ad not just a motif.

King Mark 3,666 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I hope it's more than the Superman 4 themes because they donlt sound like true JW the way Courage orchestrated them. Must have been a very basic sketch by Williams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,985 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Cue the endless arguments about how much better Williams would've used his theme better than Powell.

That way, the episode scores will remain distinguished by having a Williams score, but he could nevertheless continue to shape the greater body of work on the music Star Wars.

Chen G. 4,386 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Of course, that doesn't help the musical continuity: now Han has a theme for his standalone movie only for it the dissappear for the entirety of his screentime in the episodes. Its like Williams bringing the Imperial March back to the prequels, only for it to disppear again in Star Wars! Oh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, ultimately, you are upset because they wanted Williams involved because he is the best. That is kind of weird on your part.

Richard Penna 3,985 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 No, I'm annoyed because Powell is a composer capable of writing his own themes. He doesn't need Williams to write his main theme for him. Why didn't Rogue One get a main theme from Williams? (hint: RO wasn't in deep shit, production-wise and didn't need all the marketing boosts they could think of) Just how I see the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 4,386 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yeah, but with these spin-off scores the composers find themselves quoting existing Williams themes anyway. You can expect bits of the Imperial March, and possibly The Force, the Luke/Star Wars theme and the Rebel Fanfare. So I see little harm to Powell's artistic liberty, as it were, in Williams adding one more new theme to the catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Gonzales 5,977 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I mean, the script is by Kasdan, who wrote for Solo before, so why can't Williams write something Solo related again as well?? Oswin Pond 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,985 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 But when they sign on, they know they are working in an existing franchise, with its existing themes.
