Popular Post crumbs 14,317 Posted December 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2019 Well if neutral fans are now noticing JW's actual development of her theme in a totally new score, I think that well and truly proves (if it wasn't already) that Rey's Theme has firmly established itself in the pantheon of all-time great Star Wars themes. bollemanneke, Bayesian, Cerebral Cortex and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the characters, but the big world-building plot stuff wasn't very thought-through. It's the inverse of the prequels, where the over-arching narrative is really good but the characters were weak as heck. There are worse flaws to have! armorb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post crumbs 14,317 Posted December 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2019 Quote "Surprisingly, John Williams abandons his traditional opening title theme, opting instead for an aggressive villainous march for the famous text crawl, perhaps more suited to the likes of an Anthony Daniels commercial promoting the film than a legitimate Star Wars score."

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Just now, mrbellamy said: I guess it’s a semantic point. Character is story. I do agree. But then I don't know how to word my point beyond saying "big world-buildy stuff" vs "individual character stuff". Either way, I think the prequels and the sequels have inverse strengths!

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 And they probably represent some fundamental differences between who’s looking for what in a story. Fabulin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 My hope is that people are highlighting the quality of the score not just because of how good it is but also as an indication as to how well-mixed it is in the film. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedigoScan 324 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I see an absolute distinction possible between character and story. Though thats largely due to the actors themselves. TFA had fun characters but put them in an average plotline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just 141 minutes of the Duel of the Fates ostinato playing endlessly while random themes pop in and out over the top. Like Zimmer's score for Dunkirk!

If that is the case, it somewhat undermines the second bad aspect (or are plot and story different things). Either way, anybody who mentions JW so prominently gets an A in my book.

pete 907 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 A few comments on the score here. It's the reviewer's favorite sequel trilogy score. Favorite moments are the score's darker Sith moments. Review is spoiler-free: https://youtu.be/K-ubIr_qf5o?t=483 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
