Will 2,215 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Well with TFA we had some leaked photos from the Making Star Wars blog on the first day of recording sessions. There may have been some other little tidbits by this point as well, can't remember. However, on balance, I agree that it's pretty normal to not have heard that much at this point.

Yes, I imagine Williams has been staying in Tanglewood since the statue unveiling last month, busily writing away in his cabin. He'll probably stay there until the next batch of sessions, maybe later this month when he returns to LA (if not September). We started to see various musicians adding themselves to iMDB for TLJ around the end of the TLJ sessions (including some percussionists and choir members), but considering the choir cues are usually saved until the end and the TROS sessions will probably continue through November, I doubt we'll see any updates there for a while.

Karol Ah yes, I suspect he's stayed there to avoid needless air travel, and once he's finished with hosting commitments he'll go back to LA for another scoring session. Could be early September at this point, possibly an hour's worth of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to buy a ticket for the Hollywood Bowl where he is listed as a special guest. I was in London too last year and really upset about the evening without John Williams. It seems he is doing fine and I hope to see him at least as a guest on stage. But I hope that he is able to conduct at least a encore on the end of the show ! We will see!

"Conversations" with composers basically means they'll be chatting with each other and you can listen. I just don't want you guys to cross the ocean thinking you're going to sit down with JW and chat one on one or something. I don't think from what I saw, there is any Q&A.

Doesn’t mean they actually recorded anything in May, but obviously they’re not going to be preparing scores in November without more sessions scheduled.

crumbs 14,301 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Geez, I know he seemingly started writing in March but that feels remarkably fast for him to have finished an entire SW score by August! Links up with what Don said about trying to smash out the recording sessions before the end of September. Seems like JW will have the entire score finished before he heads back to the recording studio for another session; definitely a different approach to the staggered recording sessions for TFA/TLJ. Maybe a deliberate plan from Williams to avoid all those re-writes that plagued TFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge, no, he hasn't been forthright in coming out and verbally saying he was bothered by them. However, given that he was spotted wandering the grounds at Tanglewood prior to the most recent concert dressed as pictured below, I think we can make an educated guess as to where he stands on things.
