Popular Post crumbs 8995 Posted November 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2019 So 6 months of scoring sessions, 9 months of writings. 42 years in the making. Congratulations Maestro! Let's hope Disney are filming the occasion to within an inch of its life and release a celebratory video. How cool would it be if Daisy, George, Ford, Hamill, Rian, Kennedy etc. all attended the final day? rpvee, Will, Cerebral Cortex and 9 others 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites

How cool would it be if Daisy, George, Ford, Hamill, Rian, Kennedy etc. all attended the final day? My anticipation is already sky-high, but that statement just increased even more. We already got the featurettes for Episode VIII: The Force Awakens and Episode VIII: The Last Jedi ("John Williams: The Seventh Symphony" and "Scoring The Last Jedi: A 360 VR Experience"). There will definitely be a featurette on the Maestro scoring Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker to be included in the home video release; no doubt in my mind. That would be really cool!

Popular Post Edmilson 2059 Posted November 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2019 I wonder if, considering this was the last John Williams Star Wars recording session, if they recorded something special... Expectation: An epic suite covering all the major themes of the nine movies. Reality: A 16 seconds insert on a very minor cue comprised mostly of suspenseful strings that won't even be audible on the movie that JW had to write on the last few days as Abrams kept changing the edit. carlborg, Kasey Kockroach, crumbs and 7 others 2 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt he’d do anything like this in a single medley, but I do wonder if he’ll publish a Signature Edition suite for the whole saga. Although my guess is it’d just be, like, “Across the Stars” and “Rey’s Theme” added to the existing OT suite, but it’d be cool for there to be a Williams-arranged suite repping all three trilogies that could become a pops standard. End of the day, the “Main Title” piece will always be performed. It’s a nice thought. Will and crumbs 2 Link to post Share on other sites

mrbellamy 4510 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Or they just weren’t 100% sure it was the last day at the time they tweeted but that’s what they were hearing. They’re obviously well-informed but they have more access to some scores than others and who knows exactly how deep their sources go on Star Wars. But I think the pics are clear this was it.

crumbs 8995 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 From someone who claims to have attended the sessions: Quote The stuff I heard/performed was fantastic! I (thankfully) have no idea what scenes the cues were for, since we had no visuals (I didn’t want anything to be spoiled!). I really wish I could talk more about it, but NDAs, etc. I didn’t a sense of the score as a whole, but what I heard was great, naturally. A lot of recognizable themes, some transformed in interesting ways. I’m really looking forward to the film and didn’t want to see anything spoiler-y for myself, let alone others. He told the horns to play a little softer, but said he didn’t want to “dampen their enthusiasm.” It got some laughs. He’s such a consummate pro and class act. I honestly just tried to soak up every second of it. He and his music are a treasure. [The music is] fantastic! As someone once told me, “There’s John Williams, and then there’s everyone else.” From that Reddit thread above. Link to post Share on other sites
