LOL. Check out Oma Tres' official STAR WARS Databank entry:

 

https://www.starwars.com/databank/oma-tres

 

"As a bartender in Kijimi City’s infamous Spice Runners’ Den, Oma Tres has heard his share of discord – and on occupied Kijimi, the drums of war are part of the soundtrack of life. Tres can only hope the present strife will reach its crescendo and be followed by an era of harmony."

 

:lol:

 

That is hilarious; a perfect wink and nod to the Maestro.

Just glossing over a couple again, including repetitions from the docu. Not even showing all of them, the girl doesn't even know the number. Fuck's sake!

Well we hadn’t seen the Nixon and Catch Me If You Can props, I don’t think. 

 

Nobody’s reported any kind of full spread in the Art of Rise of Skywalker book have they? That would be cool....

Does anyone else find it hilarious that for Nixon they used a reel to reel tape recorder?


Highly appropriate, if you ask me.

Has anyone tried to make a comprehensive list of the 51 props using all the footage? There are 17 featured in the new video, of which they confirm 9:

 

Catch Me If You Can (pilot wings)

enrAzdy.jpg

 

Fiddler on the Roof (fiddle)

pnbawy4.jpg

 

Home Alone (iron) and technically also Star Wars: The Last Jedi:

H9mK8xV.jpg

 

Jaws (barrels)

Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indy's whip)

11KS6ji.jpg

 

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Sankara Stones)

6tTtQRo.jpg

 

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (wizard wands)

WU5qDmj.jpg

 

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (time turner)

ZdrSS3W.jpg

 

Nixon (tape deck)
qt0wyFn.jpg

 

These also appear in the video but are not confirmed, though it's reasonably obvious what they represent:

Star Wars (the medal)

bwoWqi4.jpg

 

The Patriot (Ben's tomahawk)

jUpCEPl.jpg

 

Tom Sawyer (pipe)

jj6SIn6.jpg

 

Amistad (chains)

loWsnj7.jpg

 

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace ... even though it wasn't nominated? (double ended lightsaber)

Unknown:

Old fashioned camera?

Spyglass?

I started doing so a couple pages back and will now start transferring it to a Google Doc while adding in the contributions of the other members.

Yes, thanks. It's a mess now but I'll have it better formatted here in a sec.

If that's meant to be a double ended lightsaber from TPM, it really throws a spanner the works. That means they have included props from non-nominated scores (or maybe there's not a prop for every nominee).

So these appear to be the mysteries, including 4 song nominations that also had score nominations (so Hook and Home Alone probably fall under the one prop):

I think it's safe to assume that each film is represented by one object, regardless of how many nominations garnered...JJ did say something along those lines. So Cinderella Liberty has only one prop. I also don't believe that prop is from Phantom Menace.

Lincoln seems like a tricky one. Has anyone seen a stopwatch or a top hat?

It's the baton from Sleepers?

Object at left in this image looks to me like a graduation cap from Goodbye, Mr. Chips but what is the mobile-looking, dangly thing in the center of the image above the toy plane?

 

8DEE7951-B42A-4A82-B425-45AC4FF93264.jpeg
 

In the image below, possibly an R2-D2 dome sitting on a cloak (Return of the Jedi?) in upper left, lampshades look like grenades (War Horse?), and object next to JJ looks like an ash tray (Angela’s Ashes? Previously I said possibly Yes, Giorgio for Pavarotti’s cigars.)

In the image below, these urns have to be something, the ash tray again at the bottom center, and that mobile/dangly object at the right.

Is this a rotisserie, and what is this alien-looking bust?

Possibly the grails from Last Crusade? You think they would be smaller and upright, though.

On your last picture, you can see it right next to the woman: it's a helmet with mounted binoculars. Those are oft-associated with the military--aviation in particular but don't let that last point lead to too deep a rabbit hole.

I thought that was a tool, but on that picture you can see a nametag there.

Actually, come to think of it, that rotisserie thing can only really be from Superman. The tag by it has "AN" obviously at the end of a word. Furthermore, whatever the hell that alien with the beer goggles is, is from a film with one word, and apparently a shorter one--doesn't eliminate a lot, but we can narrow it down further.

For the love of God, why did they go to all this trouble and not show any of it in the film? 

 

It's in line with most of the film. Over-edited and catering to fan service without anything having the time to take hold.

 

By the way, the lady in the video earlier says there are about 40 items! So unlike what JJ says, it appears not ALL of Williams' nominated films are included.

Could be a stretch but might this be the wax voodoo doll from The Witches of Eastwick?

And I think this is a sailor's cap from Cinderella Liberty:

Another stretch but could he be cleaning the grail from IJ & the Last Crusade?

So if you look at the bottom right-hand corner of the top image (in the spoiler below), you will see part of the rotisserie-looking thing but the object suspended between the two posts looks like the green crystal from Superman!  Combine that with the "AN" visible on the placard in front of the object and we might have a match.  But what does the device holding the crystal have to do with Superman (or maybe it's meant to represent another film)?

Fantastic job on the table @Cerebral Cortex!! A few comments:

  • The bottom part of the "Radio monitor 'thingy'" from CE3K is actually the reel-to-reel tape recorder for Nixon lying flat (not standing up), so that means the cube-looking thing on top of it is what's unidentified.
  • For Saving Private Ryan, the dog tags are hanging from a "Czech hedgehog" (the barriers that lined the beaches of Normandy).
  • The Reivers is misspelled as "Reviers".
  • Here are better(?) images of the Born on the Fourth of July helmet:

I doubt the iron was meant to refer to two movies, I'd reckon it was only meant to reference Home Alone and there's something else in there for TLJ

How come you guys are only getting to that video now? Have you been living under a rock for a year? ;)

 

Your sense of time is very warped, Thor.  That video has only existed since the film came out on home video about 5 months ago.  Heck, the film itself is only 8 months old.
