crumbs 14,276 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 At the very start here: Thoughts? This recording doesn't sound like any of the previous scores and I doubt a morning talk show would just use some random concert performance of Main Title, considering Disney are their parent company (and they got the exclusive first clip from the film). It also sounds different to the version of Main Title they were using for interviews on TLJ (which sounded more like the TFA recording to my ears).

tmarps 217 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Could be any one of hundreds of recordings of the SW Main theme haha - top Bb sounds a bit out of tune.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jay 37,045 Posted November 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2019 It is MUCH more likely than the audio guy in the booth grabbed some random recording of the main SW theme, than it is that Disney actually gave them a file from the Episode 9 recording sessions. There's no reason to. The Five Tones, crlbrg, Taikomochi and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Kinda curious what they will do actually. Use the TFA one a third time and have a single main title performance represent the sequel trilogy, and have a new recording after TLJ used the TFA one. I still for the life of me cant understand why they chose to reuse the same recording for these films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,457 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 The movie should really begin with the Throne Room theme instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Five Tones 302 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hard to tell, but sounds like a live recording from a broadcast (where there wouldn't have been editing/autotuning of those trumpets... stuff happens.) Also, less hassle with mechanical rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulin 3,505 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 My dream missed opportunity is it being reorchestrated for a unique flavour for each consecutive film. Otherwise I don't get the point of these constant re-recordings of the same version. One per trilogy (technology generation) is enough.

p0llux 392 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Why not re-record it? It's not like they don't have the time or money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Seems to be a JW decision. It's a consistent thing between the prequels and sequels and while everyone probably blamed it on George Lucas back in the 2000s, the one common factor in both of these trilogies is JW.

Otherwise I don't get the point of these constant re-recordings of the same version. One per trilogy (technology generation) is enough. That would indeed be cool, but I do like the more subtle differences in arrangement, performance, recording, and mixing that we've gotten over the years. I do wish the prequel and sequel trilogies had unique recordings for each film, like the OT, but that's mostly just because I find it interesting. The films themselves are served just fine by one recording per trilogy. That being said, I certainly won't complain if somehow we get a (final) new recording for TROS!

Remco 685 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 The greater presence and lyricism of the violins is just there because they’re the closest to Rian’s phone :-) Also there’s something likeable about the sound of the trumpets because, unlike on the actual recordings, you can actually sense that they’re at a distance and that there’s some space involved. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,276 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Woohoo, someone (JJ?) pulled through with the goods this time. It just wouldn't be the final Star Wars score without a JW-conducted main title. Really makes me wonder what the heck happened with TLJ. Rian even refers to there being a new recording in the director's commentary, so someone pulled the wool over his eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,045 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I like the new recording of the main title very much, I like it more than TFA's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
