The Last Jedi THE LAST JEDI - Complete Isolated Score stream available via Movies Anywhere and 2020 Blu Ray edition

[King Mark 3,626]

well,  why did they pull it from the streaming version if they just slap it on the blu ray with no afterthoughts?

 

It means they don't give a shit and we shouldn't see  it as a sign c.d.'s are in the work.

 

The only hope for TROS is a sessions leak  now

[Jay 37,323]

Disney Studios' home media arm would have no clue if Disney Records is working on new soundtrack albums or not and even if they knew it would have no impact on porting existing digital bonus features to their new physical release.

[Richard Penna 3,676]

Even if there were isos for the other two films, it wouldn't satisfy those making long-term expanded sets due to microedits and mixing issues.

 

An isolated score for a newer film I actually had interest in would be rather nice though.

There's no guarantee that the bitrate will be any different than what streamed, but it will be possible to make a direct rip, yes.  

 Well, just looking at the spectral wave of Rey Trains, the version ripped from the Blu Ray is better than the one that was taken from the online release

[Smeltington 1,436]

Yes. And apparently there's a bit more material on the beginning? Is that real material from the JW-written cue (not edited in or anything)?

[Jay 37,323]

0:00-0:08 of the menu music is from somewhere else I can't quite place

[dylanskie 104]

Oh... that's really weird. 0:00 - 0:08 is the end of the Rey Training cue. Can you hear the end of Kylo Ren's theme at the very beginning? it's like they shaved off the end of the cue and put it at the very beginning of that menu music, but it's still missing a few seconds in between

[Smeltington 1,436]

It's one of those things they do just to fuck with us!

[Jay 37,323]

Ah yes, that's it!

I bought this new 4K UH blu-ray 3-disc edition in hope there would be this score-only version. Necative. 

 

I think I will never be able to see this version. Sad. 

It is a wonderful score.

As far as I'm aware, it has only been released in the The Skywalker Saga Box Set from Best Buy.  I haven't heard of it being released separately thus far.

It is indeed in the standalone 4K set. It is NOT on the 4K disc however, it is only on the standard Blu-Ray disc that comes with it.

[crocodile 7,990]

Yeah, it is the standard Blu-ray disc only on the new Skywalker Saga box release. I don't think Disney ever put any extras on their 4K discs.

 

There is no special features tab on the disc menu, however. As soon as you play the film, it will ask you whether you want to play it as is, or with the commentary track on, or the isolated score.

 

Scratch that! Why don't I just show it to you:

 

 

The old disc menu is bit different. It had commentary track option in the main menu and no score-only option (obviously):

 

 

As for the disc's availability I'm bit confused. Indeed, this bonus feature appears on The Skywalker Box set (exclusive to Best Buy in the US and Amazon UK in the UK). But I was looking at this release but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere to actually buy. The whole release situation with these films around the world is really mind-boggling. We don't have the separate 4K releases announced at all over here in the UK so there's no Rogue One here at all.

[fommes 153]

So is this nowhere available separately from the Skywalker box set then?

[Joni Wiljami 1,206]

I bought that standalone 4K set but it is not there in the Blu-ray. The menu is almost same than in Karol's pic just without score-only option. So, I should buy some box to have this? No thanks. It is the most important SW score for me! 😭😭😭😭

My understanding is these discs will be released separately at some point (later this year?). I bet they just want to shift as many units of the (overpriced) Skywalker box set first. It's supposed to be "limited" so fingers crossed it sells quick. The reason I was being so confused is because there are already reviews of the new TLJ release. Maybe they were delayed because of the pandemic? In any case, there's no way you won't get a chance to buy those on their own. It's Disney we're talking about here! 

 

Karol

[King Mark 3,626]

wow, sounds like a feature they forgot to remove instead of include

[Luke Skywalker 1,793]

In the Spain version of Disney+ i can confirm it is not there either. There is the option of seeing the film with director commentary but not the iso track.

Are you talking about the *new* 4K release, and not the 2018 4K set? It should be on the new 4K set.

The standalone sets released on the exact same day as the boxset. I already have most of them.

 

EDIT: Scratch that if you're only referring to a UK release; I was specifically talking about the US releases.

Why can't I see any of them in any of the online stores then? I can see only the 2018 ones... Where did you buy it from? Do you have a link?

 

(Not that I care myself. I've got the box set already)

Seriously? They're right on the front pages of any site I go to, and every store I go to. I got most of them at my local Walmart, and some of them at my local Best Buy. They were actually announced a few months prior to the big boxset.

 

Here are the Amazon listings: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=star+wars+4k&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

Just look it up on Amazon.com or Best Buy websites. Only the 2018 set is listed. I'm talking about The Last Jedi specifically. I can see all the other movies on UHD but not this one.

 

Or am I going crazy?

 

Which, I admit, is possible.

Ah okay I see. TLJ does indeed have a new release, and I almost got it last week but decided to get ANH instead...

 

It appears there is some sort of conspiracy going on now that I look at the Blu-Ray forums... apparently people are having a harder time finding it all of a sudden; apparently some people are selling it on eBay for crazy high prices. Also a few people said they ordered the set from Target only to find that they had replaced the discs with the 2018 versions and put the new slipcase over it. Some people seem to think that Disney recalled them because the standalone sets weren't supposed to have the new bonus features (such as the isolated score) but they were accidentally included.

 

I really hope that's not true...

 

In any case I should probably check my local Walmart to see if they still have it, so I can scoop it up before it disappears.

 

EDIT: I just remembered that I think the reason I didn't get it last week was because it was suddenly missing from my Walmart. Ah shit...

 

EDIT2: I just checked and noticed the release date has been removed from Blu-Ray.com, despite it already being released. Now it just says "no release date announced". Maybe they accidentally released it too early?

[crocodile 7,990]

Or maybe that isolated score track was supposed to be a digital-only feature after all...

 

Well, you're only option right now is The Skywalker Box then. Maybe this is the only way they were allowed to release it?

 

So strange.

My guess is that they will release it later on... Hopefully anyway.

 

I won't be getting the boxset though unfortunately. Aside from being way too pricey, I've already gotten most of the standalone sets, so getting them twice would be redundant. I already have a rip of the Blu-Ray isolated score thankfully... It just would have been nice to have my own physical copy.

I thought of one other possibility... Maybe it cannot be released in the US because it's already a digital exclusive? It never appeared in Europe in any form so there is no problem.

 

But, as you say, hopefully it is just a momentary glitch.

Another theory I have; I've heard some people complaining that there are issues with the HDR. I doubt that would have caused a recall though, but as to why they suddenly disappeared is anyone's guess at this point.

Well, it is a possibility as well. Speaking of HDR... Supposedly, the new disc has a different grading than the old one. The old disc had Dolby Vision whereas the new one is "just" HDR10. But when I first tried the new disc my player thought it was the old one because it wanted to resume watching. I cannot see any difference at all, to be honest.

I didn't notice until now, but Solo is also missing now suddenly. So both TLJ and Solo were recalled together. I'm not positive if Solo had any similar issues.

Karol

[crumbs 14,305]

The isolated track has been missing from Disney+ in Australia since a few weeks after the launch. Rather perplexing, considering they've added lots of new bonus content for that film in the months since (but never added the isolated score back as an option).

[crocodile 7,990]

We never had isolated score track available on Disney+ here in the UK.

 

Karol

[Richard Penna 3,676]

It's one of the first things I checked for when I signed up to Disney+ last week.

 

Probably some lame copyright reason why it's not worldwide.

[crocodile 7,990]

Well, the "new" sets seem to be available in Europe. Here is the German release. I bet this has the isolated score (not confirmed!).

 

Karol

[mstrox 6,647]

They probably pressed fewer of TLJ because it had been issued in 4K before - hence, less demand and retailers probably also had old TLJ 4K in stock already.  As stock turns over and refreshes, the new 4K TLJ will be the one in print and on shelves.

Still don't see the point of having TLJ isolated without the other two. Missed opportunity.

[Jurassic Shark 12,033]

I guess since Rian said publicly that he wanted to include the score, Disney felt that the right PR move would be to do it. 

[crocodile 7,990]

Probably because this already existed as an extra for the past 2 years. They're just being bit lazy, that's all.

 

With all the tracking (from the score and several others) as well as all the editorial butchering The Rise of Skywalker would have been more upsetting than enjoyable.  I would like to have The Force Awakens though.

The edits, loops, stretching, pitch-alterations and tracking from other scores is distracting enough when drowned in the mix, let alone isolated!

The iso score itself doesn't matter

It's the material available for fan edits that matters

I've given up hope for official complete Star Wars releases. Like I'm not being pessimistic.I don't think it'll happen for many many years.

[crumbs 14,305]

Well, Mike said we had to be patient. Granted, people have waited nearly a quarter of a century since the last expansions (and 5 of the 9 have never been expanded at all) but what's a few more years when you've waited that long?

 

I'd rather they took the extra time to finally get the OT right, and create a truly definitive presentation which lays all previous releases to rest.

 

Besides, we only just got an entirely new SW score to savour, plus non-SW expansions are dropping every few months. Still lots to enjoy!
