Okay, purely for fun, as direct track comparisons aren't really meaningful in any way.

 

But, If you had to pick one track over the other, which would you go for?

 

Go! And please take in the spirit of fun!

How about

 

Train Heist/Mine Mission vs The Fathiers

 

Reminiscence Therapy vs Battle of Crait

 

Adventures of Han vs Fun With Finn and Rose

 

 

That seems like a more fair selection

I did. It's better music. 

 

Chicken in the Pot is almost has bad as that weird song in Jabba's Palace for the special edition

How about we question as to why this comparison is even here. What do we hope to accomplish by bringing forth this discussion?

You can argue with me, but you can't argue with facts, son!

That's a bit philosophical, it's here for a bit of fun. Like your photos of Bryce Dallas Howard!

 

And yeah Fargo, those do seem like better comparisons, I was just too lazy to come up with more :(

Beautiful women are fun. 

Inane meaningless comparisons between two scores that have little to nothing in common are not fun and presumably only exist to massage the egos of John Williams worshipers.

TLJ is just TFA again but with Rose's theme thrown into the mix of stale leftovers. The only reason I can tell the difference between the two scores is that TLJ has a better mix.

 

You really couldn't be more wrong in your description of TLJ, but you do you, I guess.

I only prefer The Adventures of Han from Solo over the first track from The Last Jedi, all the others tracks from the Last Jedi are superior, most often far superior too.

 

Powell's score is mostly mediocre stuff, not a fan. The Last Jedi may be my least favourite Star Wars score by Williams, but it is still a very good score.

Oh my God, how have eight people voted for Main Title and Escape (a less interesting version of Attack on the Jakku Village) over the thrilling Adventures of Han?!  

 

Probably some of the same people who voted for that Chicken Song garbage

Every time a new thread about Star Wars is opened in this forum, I'm just a little more tempted to shut off my laptop and go outside. 

Then I remember the Texas summer heat and I turn the laptop back on to read this nonsense.

I think we can all agree the last 60 seconds of Into the Maw is better than anything in The Last Jedi, right?

Except maybe the last really tragic section of Main Title and Escape. It's just so emotional; it's like a punch in the gut.

And I don't think Main Title and Escape is very similar to Attack on the Jakku Village at all! Seems a lot different in mood and tone to me. Especially that last part. Plus there's a ton of new motifs in TLJ; Rose's theme isn't the only new one.
