The Rise of Skywalker The Rise of Skywalker - Disney Records OST

[Arpy 4,178]

No pre-orders over here in Oz yet either. I would've thought retailers would have the score up around about now.

[crumbs 15,367]

Yeah it's weird the score is nowhere to be found on retail websites or even the usual streaming services like iTunes/Apple Music. There's not even a release date for international markets, so December 18 could well be the first time anyone hears the score (Australians at 12.01am Thursday). 

 

Didn't iTunes at least have a placeholder tracklist at this point for TLJ, with nameless tracks? Maybe they finalised the OST really late because JW wanted to include cues he recorded in the final session. 

[aj_vader 573]

I'm seeing it Midnight on the 19th, this will likely be the first time I will be going in cold. 

 

I never really take the movie in when I see it first time, I'm usually distracted by the score, listening for themes. #themejunky 

[Miz 145]

Blatantly gonna listen to the The Last JW SW Score on it's own before seeing the film. His musical storytelling is unsurpassed and it's such a purely musical journey that it can only be listened to before the film, and never unheard after associated with the images. Accordingly, my cinema tickets will be booked later than the immediate rush to the release showings.

It's the opposite for me, I'm usually so engrossed in the movie that I can't take much of the music in on first viewing.

Perhaps they have their hands full finalising the regular release and the 2 CD Deluxe Edition ^TM

NEW SCORE AVAILABLE

 

Walt Disney

• Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (John Williams) [23 cues]

[1977 1,753]

Sure hope the OST is going to be longer than 53 minutes.

[Jurassic Shark 14,537]

I guess if one wants the academy members to actually listen to the FYC, it would be an advantage that it's not a long presentation.

[1977 1,753]

Or they might want to squash the OST onto one vinyl

 

Noooooo! Another ROTJ OST scenario...

Wasn't every single promo shorter anyway?

TFA OST 1:17:13 / FYC 1:08:07

TLJ OST 1:17:49 / FYC 1:06:07

TROS OST ?:?? / FYC 50:32

Perhaps indicative of the amount of original (new) material vs arrangements of old material?

[crumbs 15,367]

Yes, the pure references to older material have likely been snipped out (not listening to the FYC but I'm told most cues finish abruptly). It makes sense that FYC lengths have diminished over the course of the trilogy, considering the majority of the new themes were introduced in TFA.

Keep in mind that the TROS one doesn't have the credits cue. That takes roughly <10 minutes off the runtime. That makes it almost the same as TLJ.

[1977 1,753]

Wonder if we'll get some kind of bonus disc a la ROTS covering all the saga themes?

 

Star Wars: A Musical Journey Redux

[Tydirium 1,427]

Just checking, as someone who also pre-ordered the TLJ OST but then it didn't arrive until a week and a half after the release date—is this what everyone's Amazon order currently looks like? I mean as far as the "delivery estimate" bit goes. I really need this to arrive on the release date, this time around; I'm flying on the 21st.

Yep, mine looks exactly the same.

[Tydirium 1,427]

Good to know, thanks!

[Bayesian 1,506]

Mine shows the same thing too, except I appear to be paying 8 cents less tax.

[Tydirium 1,427]

It's weird that we still don't have a real cover art image.

[1977 1,753]

Wonder whether we'll get a jewel case or a digipak or both this time.

[Alex 2,919]

I only listened to half the FYC album, but it sounded almost like samples of each track.

We all know that it's going to be that boring one used for the other movies in the sequel trilogy, with just the Star Wars logo in blue.

Hopefully when they put it up again they will have revisited it in this regard. Perhaps Williams' people got wind of it and got Disney on the horn, lest the Master be displeased.

[DominicCobb 195]

The pre order for Target has been up since at least this morning, already got mine. 

 

Probably safe to say this is the cover art (minus the sticker).

 

[King Mark 3,806]

OMG 2 COLLECTIBLE CARDS!!!!!!

[crumbs 15,367]

Phew, glad the cover art is consistent. I'm still annoyed by the change in spine design for ROTS after the first two prequels. 

[Manakin Skywalker 5,591]

But the logo isn't embossed? Pass!

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Original Motion Picture Soundtrack From Oscar®-Winning Composer John Williams

 

DIGITAL SOUNDTRACK SET FOR RELEASE DECEMBER 18

 

PHYSICAL ALBUM AVAILABLE DECEMBER 20

 

PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE NOW

 

BURBANK, Calif., Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Walt Disney Records is set to release the original motion picture soundtrack for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. The album features a new score conducted and composed by five-time Academy Award®-winning composer John Williams. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker digital soundtrack is set for release on December 18 and the physical album will be available on December 20 as the film opens in U.S. theaters nationwide.

 

From the physical album's liner notes, director J.J. Abrams said, "Once again, John has come up with an utterly stunning soundtrack, creating brand new, gorgeous, frightening, mysterious, epic and intimate themes while also revisiting some of his greatest, classic melodies. My gratitude toward John Williams cannot be overstated — not just for elevating every scene in this film, but for providing us all with soundtracks that elevate our lives." 

 

John Williams stated in the album's liner notes, "More than 40 years ago, George Lucas introduced to the world his singular imagination, his ingenuity and his creative genius. He also gave me an opportunity never before enjoyed by an operatic or film composer…the chance to work continually for four decades on a single project, and with each film, to add to a collection of musical themes which I hope will be seen as parts of a singular, organic whole."

 

"This experience has been one of the highlights of my professional life, bringing me so much joy in working with some of the world's greatest orchestras and musicians. I stand before the now completed nine Star Wars films with pride and gratitude for the gift of this extraordinary journey." 

 

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker Original Motion Picture soundtrack will be available to stream and download on December 18. The physical album will be available on December 20 and is now available for pre-order.

[crumbs 15,367]

Lovely quotes. Judging by what JJ said, there's quite a handful of new themes? Unless he's just confusing themes with cues...? And since when did JW contribute to the liner notes? Very cool detail.

 

Finally available for pre-order on Australian websites. Release date is the 20th here:

Can't say I've ever owned a physical copy of the first score.

@crumbs I've decided I'm going to go pickup the physical copy from stores as I don't like JB's mail packaging. I think I'll buy both editions like the last two scores!

Yeah what was with that shit? Sony must have hired a new art direction team sometime between 2002 and 2005, because a lot of Sony CD releases all conformed to a unified house style round about 2004 that I noticed with Spider-Man 2, then the same spine font showed up in The Legend of Zorro in 2005.

[King Mark 3,806]

3 wishes

 

1-C.D over 75 minutes

2-If were lucky 50%-75% of the FYC is not on the OST

3-Concert Version of Farewell (I need to see the track list!) .

 

Edit:

4-End Credits is original composition not other tracks edited togheter

JB Hi-Fi, it's an entertainment retailer over here in Australia.

[crumbs 15,367]

Yeah and pretty much the last of its kind. Can't think of any other major CD retailers in Australia. 

[Arpy 4,178]

There's Sanity still around, but I guess the future is Amazon. The problem with Amazon AU though is the fact that most CDs have to be imported or sold through international retailers. I guess there's an Australian CD plant somewhere, or there used to be...

[That_Bloke 163]

There's also Fishpond.com.au over here - the local competitor to Amazon

I used to use Fishpond, but it's not what it used to be. I remember using it just fine about a year ago but family and friends who've used it have had problems galore with them which is strange.
