The Rise of Skywalker THE LAST STAR WARS POLL: 0 MINUTES until the final Star Wars soundtrack drops

[crumbs 14,287]

So if my calculations are correct and the TROS OST drops on the NZ Apple Music store at 10pm AEST, that leaves us less than a hour to poll the room on the final ever questions for a brand new John Williams Star Wars score.

 

So here goes! Quick and easy, no spoilers, just OST-related questions because (miraculously) we're still none the wiser on the contents of the OST.

 

I've avoided questions relating to track titles because I believe these have leaked (but the chronology is unknown). Please DO NOT POST TRACK TITLES in this thread.

 

STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER SOUNDTRACKCountdown

[King Mark 3,624]

I expect the worst presentation possible that will have us begging for an expanded edition for years

 

Poll now obsolete

[Quintus 5,399]

I'm expecting more "generic" Star Wars dressing/underscore for 80% of this score, but I'll just be content to have a couple of new concert arrangements to listen to and perhaps one decent new setpiece cue at long last (something the new scores have been sorely lacking in).

Are you living a happy life?

[King Mark 3,624]

no I expect the worst so I'll be relieved if it's better than expected

 

But none of JW's Star Wars OST's have been very good and the hunt for unreleased music always starts after one OST listen

For how long?

[King Mark 3,624]

like I added...a few minutes maybe

If you start listening to the SW Special Edition soundtrack now (and skip the Binary Sunset track after the alternate finishes), the TROS OST will be up as soon as the end credits finish.

Why is there a question about the number of tracks when we know it's 19

Spoiler alert! I didn't know.

[Jay 37,249]

The number of tracks is a spoiler now?

[aviazn 273]

Technically, isn't the Dies Irae already in The Big Theme at the end? E.g. Farewell 3:50  I mean, more broadly, you could argue that entire theme is a major mode variation/expansion of the Dies Irae.

Yes! I don't even want to know if Williams, Giacchino or Desplat scored the movie until I see it!

 

Meanwhile, on other matters, congrats to these clever people who correctly predicted the score wouldn't turn up at midnight AUS time:

Looks like I can't re-open the poll and reset the deadline until midnight US time

[BLUMENKOHL 1,068]

Why would a global institution like Disney decide its release hour based on some small backwards corner of the world where Drax lives? 

[Tom 4,630]

This feels like the end of the world climate countdown.  

[BLUMENKOHL 1,068]

2012 Mayan Calendar end of the world.

I am smart! S-M-R-T! I mean S-M-....never mind

Just want to point out that your calculations were off by two hours.
