Popular Post Damien F 1,742 Posted December 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2019 5 minutes ago, Will said: OK. I just finished an exciting first listen. I do dearly hope that the OST, freed from awards constraints, is stronger. This FYC felt mostly like random bits of underscore, and for the most part didn't feel like a satisfying end to a nine-film (or even 3-film) saga. I think first experiencing a new Star Wars score on a FYC is going to be a little disjointed because Williams puts a lot of care into the listening experience of his OST which the FYC doesn't really give a damn about. And the FYC is likely to exclude some cues with older themes. It is great to get the music early but ideally without this 'leak', we would have all listened to the OST first next week and then padded it out with the FYC a few days later. crlbrg, crumbs and Will 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balahkay 627 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I listened to the first four tracks but I stopped until I listen to the OST as I want to hear the music in high quality for my first listen. What I’ve heard so far is absolutely excellent, though. As someone else said, it sounds very inspired and not as if Williams is on autopilot... unlike certain parts of TLJ and even TFA. It’s really good so far and I can’t wait to hear more. I have to keep reminding myself that this FYC is only 50 minutes of a 2hour, 10 minute film (minus the credits). I imagine the film will have wall to wall music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted December 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2019 Just started listening. Only on Track 2 but hot dog is it ever a good one. Fastest paced Emperor's theme ever heard, plus Johnny flexing the Resistance theme in even more new ways. Using the Hyperspace ostinato from ESB. And I guess that frenetic little theme from that TV spot some of us thought was too unique to be library music was legitimate (Falcon Flight 1:53)! Hardly even started listening and I'm in absolute awe. I can't believe we're here. This being my first Williams score to experience with the forum as it comes out, I couldn't be happier.

KK 3,307 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hmm. This prob isn't a very fair representation of the score. At first listen, the underscore has some interesting moments (some very fine clusters), but is mostly unremarkable until the last act. And even then, I'm not especially excited about it. At the very least, it does sound a little more striking than TLJ. The last track sounds like its nodding to the "Jedi Steps" material. 5 minutes ago, The Illustrious Jerry said: Nope.

I never expected a leak this early. And it's the first time since Ep 3 that I've heard the music first before reading anybody else's reactions or descriptions of it (the music didn't get out from TFA or TLJ until after the movies had premiered) so I'm satisfied with this being a different way to go. I got to have my own impressions. And it only could have happened in this era of FYC sites. 25 minutes ago, KK said: I joined in the War Horse/Tintin days...the forum was insane with JW activity then.

That was great because it was a 3 year drought and I cherish it because those were my first JWFan scores too, but I think TFA was crazier. People going nuts over commercials, the digital Amazon leak, hair-pulling over YouTube commenters, Blume's Rey's Theme thread, the novelty of an FYC stream for Star Wars, the mental gymnastics that turned people's opinions around and around. thx99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryphus 4 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Oddly enough, the material from this score reminds me more of TLJ than TFA - aside from thematic material of course, but then again there's not much of the thematic material from TLJ that would make sense to have here. I don't know whether it's the instrumentation or the harmonic structures, but I get a huge blend of TLJ and TFA, leaning more towards TLJ.

Stellar Imperial March quote in The Old Death Star. Off the Waterfront is too cool! I expected it, but I'm still in shock at how much Williams squeezes out of March of the Resistance every time.

Arpy 4,145 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 If this were back in the prequel days, and Lucas had directed it, I'm sure instead of asking why this doesn't necessarily feel like a successor to The Last Jedi in terms of musical continuity, we'd all be dumped with tracking from the last scores! Lucas would drop The Fathiers in Resistance Battle or something ala the unused Arena music from AotC for the march on the Jedi Temple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manakin Skywalker 4,891 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 The score is fantastic, but again without context and a proper presentation its a bit... whelming? Like not quite underwhelming, just whelming. It's about average compared to the previous two JW Star Wars scores; I was expecting something a bit more grandiose considering this is literally his last Star Wars score ever. aj_vader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just barely skimmed through the cues at the expense of spoilers in the midst of them all. A musical motif and development made some unexpected revelations which I wont say here but damn! Somebody at the FYC Academy is going to get the brunt of it all. The Youtube video is still on until some one looks into it. My first impression matches what most of the folks have said. It retains the new edgy dark writings from the new installments. Every cue is interesting but I'am going to reserve my feelings for the final product when it comes out and of course the film experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
