Popular Post Aaron Fullan 13 Posted February 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2020 Greetings, fellow JW fans! My name is Aaron Fullan and I'm a film composer from near the Chicago area. As you know, John Williams' 88th birthday is this weekend (February 8), so I decided to arrange a musical tribute piece in honor of this most special occasion. It's entitled "Skywalkers' Legacy | A Star Wars Symphonic Suite" and it highlights some of my favorite themes from the Star Wars saga. Much to my surprise, John Williams' go-to orchestrator (William Ross) listened to the piece last night and used words/phrases like "quite good", "wonderfully arranged", and "bravo!" in his comments about it! Needless to say, my day/week/month/year was made. I'd love to hear your honest thoughts about it if/when you have a few minutes to listen/watch it! I highly value the opinions and input of my fellow JW fans on this "labor of love." HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wowbobwow 69 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Neat arrangements. Well done! I can tell you're quite skilled and you have a ton of passion for the material. If you're looking for critiques: your medley doesn't feel like it has continuous momentum from front to back. It works married to the video but would distract me listening to it on its own. At times feels like the piece starts, then stops, then starts again etc. It has to do with the repetitive change up in the piece dynamics (pretty frequently a piece enters into the medley at a quiet dynamic until it develops into a louder dynamic). It hampers the flow. Aaron Fullan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_deleted_ 203 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Your suite is amazing. I especially like the Anakin segment. Aaron Fullan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 12,973 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Impressive suite @Aaron Fullan! This is the type of medley I was hoping John would compose for the TROS End Credits, but shit happens. Do you plan to finish it off with the themes from TROS over the next few months?

Aaron Fullan 13 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Wow, thanks everyone! Really glad you liked the suite. 'Preciate the critique as well, @wowbobwow. Haha agreed, @crumbs. Great idea about adding TROS themes! I just might do that. @Quintus I don't know about that...is that even possible? Haha, but thank you for the VERY high compliment! wowbobwow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Farewell to Kings 3,809 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Maybe TLJ themes should be added too. Aaron Fullan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellaeon 581 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I like a lot of what you’ve done. I just think the Prequel Trilogy part feels like a non sequitur. Maybe just play Anakin’s Theme over vignettes of Admiral Ackbar. Aaron Fullan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Fullan 13 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 @Fal J. M. Skywalker, I like the way you think. @mstrox, I feel like War Horse might seem a bit out-of-place amidst so many Jedi... @Pellaeon @Sandor THANK YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpvee 557 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Wow, @Aaron Fullan! This is so neat! I agree that the pacing could be smoothed a bit, but I love the more creative moments that have fresh takes on the themes - particularly the chorus added to Luke and Leia (my favorite theme), and even more so, the Middle Eastern vocal added to Rey’s Theme (what an amazing sentence that was to type). I love Middle Eastern music, and would LOVE to hear that unique take of Rey’s Theme expanded upon! Aaron Fullan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
