My favorites are easily FALCON FLIGHT, and the cool Anthem of Evil passage in Prologue


Second place would be Parents for dat choir, or To Kimiji for its nice Trio Theme passages, and the missing minute of The Old Death Star

Parents followed by Falcon Flight. Parents is unique, especially with how it handles Kylo Ren's theme, and is one of many emotional highlights in the score. I'm amazed it isn't on the OST. Falcon Flight has an awesome rendition of the Emperor's Theme.

Oddly the only omission from an OST track I really noticed was the end of Final Saber Duel.

 

But to add to a catalog of bizarre album choices, how could JW decide Falcon Flight wasn't worth including? It's one of the first cues on the FYC that made me think that this score was worth paying attention to, and I like it way more than The Speeder Chase.

 

I bought the OST earlier, but it's such a frustrating thing getting an album where you know so much has been edited out.

I actually went with Parents, as far as what I missed the most. Falcon Flight is great (and I actually like it more than Speeder Chase) but there was something about Parents, and the reworking of Kylo's theme, that struck me on my first listen of the FYC. It was definitely THE track I couldn't believe was omitted from the OST.

The Emperor's Theme in Falcon's Flight sounds too anemic for my tastes. It's an okay action track otherwise. 

 

I actually like some of the moody things he tries in "In the Desert" with the Resistance theme more.
