Popular Post mrbellamy 6,287 Posted November 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2019 It does sound the most like Williams to me than anything else we've heard, but I dunno. They've never debuted any of his music, whether actual or trailer-ized, in anything that wasn't directly promoting the movie, right? This is my problem. We scoured and debated so many random tie-in commercials for TFA and TLJ and none of it was him. The only thing I can think of was the Galaxy's Edge Coke commercial that had a bit of the suite we hadn't heard before but that's kind of a different situation. Even that was technically advertising something you had to go to Galaxy's Edge to get, not like a branded thing you can buy at Wal-Mart. I just feel like, when they use new Williams which is exceedingly rare, it seems like they do it for specific "go to this movie/park" stuff and that's it.

Remco 685 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 It sounds Williams-y, but I don’t recognize the sound qualities of the LA orchestra and the Sony stage. I’d love to be proven wrong, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Not to throw any bones around, but during either The Last Jedi or The Force Awakens marketing onslaught Bell Canada aired a pair of ads that actually did use Williams' music from the original trilogy (and not just the regular stuff too). I believe it was from Detention Block Ambush, that triumphant fanfare. The point is that they have used Williams' music before as opposed to just reverting to generic ad music so it's not out of the question, but I refuse to comment further until I find my headphones here. I do doubt they'd get their hands on something new though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I also doubt the filmakers have let music from the recording sessions out to the marketing dept either; new score isn't needed to promote this film or its tie in products.

Popular Post crumbs 14,316 Posted November 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 19, 2019 That sounds far more like a real orchestra than the Anthony Daniels videos. The piccolo flourish around 0:11 is very Williams as well, and this isn't out of place with his other writings in the sequels thus far. I think this could actually be legit. The beginning sounds a bit like the theme from TLW? rpvee, Will and Arpy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,287 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 My first thought was Giacchino's Spider-Man theme ha Do we have a tally of how many times we've actually heard new Williams pre-release, outside of obvious clips and music promos/featurettes? I remember Jedi Steps in the ABC TV spot, trailerized The Spark in the final Last Jedi trailer, Galaxy's Edge in the Coke commercial. Is there anything else?

Popular Post aviazn 273 Posted November 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2019 Yeah, this sounds like Williams. Clearly an action treatment of Rose's theme, and that seems somewhat unlikely material for trailer companies to draw from. And yes, very HP-esque flourishes with the rising triplets. I think this is the real deal. The 8-note horn line at about 10 seconds (D-C#-B-F#-D-E-F#-E) sounds like it could be new thematic material as well (the falling part of the line is foreshadowed in the strings a few seconds earlier).

crumbs 14,316 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Holy smokes! I couldn't place it but I knew the theme sounded somehow familiar. It is a new play on Rose's Theme! I can easily see her piloting a ship into the final battle alongside Lando, which sounds exactly like the type of scene this cue could accompany. As mentioned, it seems highly unlikely a trailer music company would draw upon that theme for marketing material without being totally overt with it (especially stuff that sounds this close a real orchestra and JW's style of writing in the two scores thus far). More and more convinced it's from TROS now. Will and aviazn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will 2,215 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 WOAH - I hadn't noticed Rose's theme at all but it does indeed appear to be a (somewhat disguised) variation of that theme!

aviazn 273 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Nice! In that one, you can clearly hear a more unadulterated statement of Rose's theme in the flutes in the background, with the repeated variation in the brass rising to take over from the flutes on the last part of the line.
