Frankly it's staggering such an obvious thing hasn't happened yet, BUT I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they could be waiting until Williams finishes his third trilogy. He's written 10 new concert suites in the past 4 years alone (not including any of the new arrangements for ASM); who knows how many more IX will bring. Hard to believe he only wrote 4 during the entire prequel trilogy, but he was also far more active on non-SW projects at the time.

First movie has a bunch then the second and third only have one each. Let’s hope TROS breaks the pattern. _deleted_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,316 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The most we should expect are two concert suites plus a credits suite, but I expect the latter will just be a surmising of the entire trilogy rather than something as revelatory and original as Jedi Steps and Finale. There'll be one new concert suite at a minimum, but who knows what he'll write it for. In an ideal world he'd write a suite for the baddies (a fully fledged Kylo Ren/First Order march) and a suite for the goodies (a New Jedi Order/Rey's Destiny type theme). It seems like that Naomi actress is a significant new character, so there might be a theme for her civilisation as well. Disco Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, well, I think the LSO should at least endeavour to re-record everything Hal Leonard publishes. It's such a shame that such an unbelievably fantastic orchestra isn't doing it.

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Yes, it is quite interesting to see the new characters coming in on the party so late (Ackie's character, that new droid, Dom Monaghan, Richard E. Grant, Kerri Russel, and the entrance of the Knights of Ren, supposedly). Of these Ackie's would seem to be the most involved, so a theme could perhaps be warranted. I just feel like things are getting very busy with the cast, and it might actually choke some of the opportunities for new arrangements. Let's hope not.

That would be amazing, though I'd be more surprised by that than by a simple "Music of Galaxy's Edge" album. (And if somehow such an LSO album did happen, I would actually prefer that it just include a bunch of existing recordings they've done for Star Wars in the parks. I believe they did the Hyperspace Mountain arrangement and a bunch of re-recordings for the Star Tours queue in Tokyo, if I remember correctly.)

Six! There's the published suite from The Phantom Menace: 1. The Flag Parade 2. Anakin's Theme 3. The Adventures of Jar Jar 4. Duel of the Fates And then just the one each from episodes 2 and 3: Across The Stars Battle of the Heroes I hope we get a recording of The Flag Parade conducted by Williams one day before I die. _deleted_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,526 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Flag Parade does have unique bits in its concert version, but AFAIR Adventures of Jar-Jar is purely bits from the score melded together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 907 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Yes, Adventures of Jar Jar starts with the music that opens the OST track "The Trip to the Naboo Temple" and then segues to start of the OST track "Jar Jar's Introduction", and then ends with last minute or so of "Watto's Deal & Kids at Play" with just a tighter finishing. It's not a composed concert piece like the others. _deleted_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 2,215 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 @King Mark and @Datameister, the fanfare is on here!

It's still possible it's an alternate to extend the opening with that fanfare from later in the piece. On 4/18/2019 at 10:23 PM, Datameister said: That opening fanfare seems to match a bit of sheet music distantly seen in the initial music video with the title "Galaxy's Edge Alt. Beginning." It certainly wasn't recorded as part of "Galaxy's Edge" proper, which starts with a big slow swell directly into the shimmering strings. (The swell at the beginning of the alternate beginning, as heard under Josh Gad's closing words in the video you linked, is different.
