BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Even if you’re not synesthetic, this might be fun to try for you. What textures/feelings/colors/sensations does each score, in its totality, evoke in you? Here’s the sensation each album in its totality evokes in me: 1. Star Wars (1977) - A grey dilapidated, rusty, dirty and old, very old world. 2. Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - A wet...grimy brown and rusty disgusting sewer...the kind you walk through with puddles and condensation on the walls. 3. Star Wars Return of the Jedi (1981) - A dense northern forest 4. Star Wars The Phantom Menace (1999) - Marble halls, huge columns, the Roman Empire and its bureacracy 5. Star Wars Attack of the Clones (2002) - A summer’s eve, just after a storm, and just before sunset when the sky is big...filled with puffy clouds turning more orange. 6. Star Wars Revenge of the Sith (2005) - World War I trenches and battles in the old fancy marble buildings and cities. 7. Star Wars The Force Awakens (2015) - The Old American West, Railroad tracks and old trains, The Grand Canyon 8. Star Wars The Last Jedi (2017) - Kids playing war in the backyard on the first nice day of summer. 9. Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker (2019) - A North African desert at noon, the inside of an Egyptian pyramid. Nick Parker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,008 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 That's what Harrison Ford thought in Blade Runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayesian 1,353 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I can't envision specific settings like you can, but in terms of moods/themes... 1. Star Wars (1977) - Adventure-seeking, old fashioned fun, rough-and-tumble 2. Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - Dangerous, ominous, larger scale than the adventure in '77 3. Star Wars Return of the Jedi (1981) - [Not sure] 4. Star Wars The Phantom Menace (1999) - Polished, sleek, burnished 5. Star Wars Attack of the Clones (2002) - Same as TPM 6. Star Wars Revenge of the Sith (2005) - Same as TPM but with lots of tragic hero overtones 7. Star Wars The Force Awakens (2015) - [Not sure] 8. Star Wars The Last Jedi (2017) - [Not sure] 9. Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker (2019) - The epitome of human creation, come to life in musical form, never to be surpassed Ok, that last one's obviously facetious. But I can't actually decide how to express the ST scores as a mood or theme, other than to say they are of a kind as different from the PT as the PT was from the OT.

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Star Wars - Brittle, russet metal that flakes off like powder when you wipe it with a (gloved) hand Empire Strikes Back - Peppermint flavor, and the colors of the Earth's atmospheric layers Return of the Jedi - A summer afternoon's progression to sunset, with plenty of sun-dappled leaf spots in the woods The Phantom Menace - Fresh summer grass Attack of the Clones - The piercing bright gleam of reflected light that you would get from say a car window being hit by the rays of the Sun in the afternoon, especially after a warm summer rain. Revenge of the Sith - A dark, muted green, with the slightest hint of purple mixed in. Like a windy November day (in the Northern Hemisphere), offset by the surprisingly warm heat of the Sun. The Force Awakens - Coral algae, somewhat rugged to the touch and tastes a little bitter and plain The Last Jedi - Lukewarm Sphagettios The Rise of Skywalker - A vast coastal desert through a whole 24 hour cycle, starting at night with nothing but sand dunes in sight, then ending at the sunset by the glittering ocean Thanks, @Blumenkohl, this was fun!
