crumbs 14,318 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 So hopefully Williams starts writing before Christmas! I wonder if he caught up with JJ before filming to discuss potential ideas, or JJ suggested things he'd like Williams to start thinking about? I imagine how to close out Rey's Theme in a meaningful and satisfying way would be front of Williams' mind with IX, along with how to expand and resolve Kylo Ren's theme.

Popular Post artguy360 1,844 Posted August 7, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2018 I suppose this is as good a topic as any for some Ep 9 JW wishful thinking: I really hope JW utilities the piano for some prominent, emotional music. That's kind of antithetical to how he has used piano in SW in previous scores but I think it could make for a surprising and effective change of pace after hearing the extremely brief piano rendition of Leia's theme in TLJ.

crumbs 14,318 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 There's a severe lack of piano at the front of the mix in all the scores. Obviously by design, but there wouldn't be a theme in the entire saga that doesn't sound as good on piano as it does on any other instrument. It's no coincidence he chose piano for Leia's tribute, knowing it would stand out as something reasonably out of the ordinary for his SW scores. Maybe his ultimate end credits climax will be a closing reprise of Rey's Theme on piano? Surely it ends on that theme, with a touch of the Force/Main Theme in counterpoint, to close the book on the saga. I think he skipped the proper end credits suite for TLJ knowing he'll devote much more energy to IX's suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,318 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I think JJ will be more collaborative with Williams on what new themes to write. I get the feeling RJ just left Williams to his own devices to come up with whatever themes he saw fit, and ultimately he could only identify 3 primary new ideas (one for each of the key new characters and an Exile theme for Luke -- which was sadly underused). IX doesn't appear to have an avalanche of new characters (nor did TLJ) so if IX is to have lots of new themes Williams will need to be quite "nebulous" in his thinking (ala Duel of the Fates or Battle of the Heroes type themes), rather than literal (Rey's Theme, Rose's Theme, Ren's Theme, March of the Resistance, etc.) The obvious void has been the First Order not having an overt identity, but, ironically, that's wound up being a clever decision given the events of TLJ and Kylo Ren overthrowing Snoke.
