Chen G. 3,949 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I love the treatment of Kylo Ren's material in the opening track, although something about the concept of a "prologue" (per the track title) strikes me as being un-Star Wars. Track 3 is kind of incredible. Really, unlike The Last Jedi, a lot of the recurring themes are quite varied in their appearances. Terrific!

mrbellamy 6,286 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I've started and I still haven't gotten past my fourth or fifth listen of We Go Together. Fuck this is good. Okay this is a special moment so I'm edit this with my thoughts for posterity. Not reading this thread until I'm finished so this will probably all have been said... In the Desert sounds like it has that bit of Resistance March from the sheet music JKMS posted Fleeing From Kijimi, 1:18, those piano/harp clusters, so hot. He's bringing it. What is going on at the end of Hard to Get Rid Of!! I like that Emperor's Theme version. Strings at 0:57, Join Me, love that. Also Rey's Theme is pretty damn good isn't it. The Old Death Star, I think 0:43 is that other bit from JKMS? Fun to hear the Imperial March at its biggest in this trilogy. Into that groove in Off the Waterfront. Healing Wounds, 0:30 GREAT Leia's Theme at the end, wow Seeing Sights, Rey's Theme on piano Nothing to say, just transfixed by all this finale stuff....

Chen G. 3,949 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Even if its after the crawl, the concept of a "prologue" is wierd in Star Wars. The whole point of these films is that there's a crawl and then the film starts right away. These films never started with a montage or flashback of any sort. We shall see.

Fabulin 3,511 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I will likely never forget the moment this dropped. I have just finished doing a ranking with some arguments of all Star Wars scores so far, and wrote a big question mark next to TROS. Then I had a long phone call and started boiling water for a supper. When I returned to the computer, the FYC was up for some 15 minutes. After realizing it's a whole album of music, I was the most excited I've ever been in my life, to the point of trying not to run out of the flat like a crazy person, or not to squeal with glee. I decided to skip the discussion so far and put everything into a review instead. Feel free to visit: P.S. I burned that pot in the kitchen like Mustafar did Anakin due to a lack of attention for over an hour. LOL Qui-GON29 and Cerebral Cortex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,949 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The last track (which is wonderful in what it does to Rey's theme) feels to me as though its part of the end-credits. The next-to-last track feels like the end of the movie proper. If it is, from the FYC alone, this score strikes me more as a culmination of the sequel trilogy's material than of the series as a whole, which is NOT a bad thing. In terms of material that dates to before this trilogy, I'm mostly picking up some Emperor stuff (strangely, I'm not feeling the choir here), a bit of the Imperial March, and obviously The Force (less Binary Sunset-y this time, thank god) and the Rebel Fanfare (obviously for the Falcon).

MaestroUE 29 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Boy, can’t describe how excited I am. I’ve given the first listen to it. Williams have definitely returned to the orchestration and action writing of the original trilogy and combined it with the style of the sequel trilogy. There are very rich, and well developed sequences. This certainly sounds like bits and pieces of the entire score, but not the very best highlights I think. The score overall sounds very sentimental, due to the saga coming to an end. What I really wish is more thematic development for Kylo & The first order because just hearing those 5-notes have become rather uninteresting for me. JW surely have created many variations of it by messing with the tempo but at the end it’s still the same 5-note motif so I really wish we have a fully developed theme for him, maybe the continuation of the version we’ve heard in “Peace & Purpose” from TLJ. On another note, mixing sounds quite well for this one. Great balance between high and low registers (Low brass & xylophone are pleasantly audible again, yay!). At a couple of points the timpani is obnoxiously loud, but that’s not a big issue at all. I’m really excited to listen to the whole score!

Jay 37,355 Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I think that "Farewell" is the actual final cue of the film.
