  5. 5. How long will the complete score be?

    • No

My theory is that there was originally a prologue before the main titles. 

 

It's more likely that "Fanfare" refers to the main title, while "Prologue" would refer to Kylo on Mustafar, as technically that entire sequence is somewhat of a prologue before the plot picks up when he arrives on Exegol.

Yeah I figured as much, but it's a slightly odd decision considering the other 8 movies.  Does it bother me, not in the slightest, just an observation.

My theory is that some of it was for Rey's Vision on Ajan Kloss of her and Kylo on the Exegol throne, before it was axed, and replaced with Kylo contacting Rey
