Pellaeon 593 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Are we even going to get a Rise of Skywalker published concert suite? Live-to-projection concerts? I think it is a shame, because the soundtrack was an instant and total hit for me, but it seems like maybe Star Wars fatigue and malaise have set in even worse than it was for AotC and RotS. Sad if the score doesn’t live on. Who knows, maybe the next generation will resurrect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,949 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I certainly know my interest in the score, excellent though it may be, has been tempered with by the subpar quality of the film. Then again, it was popular enough. I mean, it made plenty of money. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A live to projection is going to be tough, give the chop-job done to the score. They could give us a concert cut using full cues like the Speeder Chase, but that would require TPTB to give a damn about Williams music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post crumbs 14,316 Posted March 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2020 I spent a good ten minutes just looking at the cue breakdown for TROS last night, completely perplexed at how Williams could record nearly 4 hours of music only for the final product to end up the hatchet job that it is. I've been enjoying my expanded version of the score for a few weeks but I'm definitely feeling burned out after the last listen. The new scores are just so heavy and dense, they rarely recapture that fun Star Wars music of old. Clearly this is a reflection of the overly serious films, where the pulpy sense of fun has been completely lost in favour of brooding darkness, death and misery.

igger6 894 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I would actually argue that, whatever its other faults, TRoS actually comes closest to that pulpy sense of fun. The movie has the zippy humor and fist-pump moments of Episode IV in spades, and its biggest failing is that it fails to properly land the enormous Star Destroyer of a mythology, which Star Wars hadn’t yet become the last time it had that sense of pulpy fun. Same goes for the TRoS score. Its two major action set pieces, “The Speeder Chase” and whatever we’re calling Lando’s unreleased return, come closer to the spirit of “Chasm Crossfire” than anything since the Ewok battles. Compare them to the frantic pseudo-fun of “The Falcon” or “The Fathiers” or “A New Alliance” and see what I mean. (You can make a case that “Canto Bight” has that spirit, too, but that sequence leaves such bile in my throat that I can’t dissociate it enough to tell.) tranders65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTenma 116 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I didn't liked the movie, it was one of my biggest movie disappointments in my life because I liked very much episodes VIII and VII. I think they could have done something better and after the death of Carrie Fisher I'd moved the last instalment to this year, in order to write a better script and take more time to edit the movie. I don't think it was SW-fatigue but a too tight schedule for a "big movie". Anyway, speaking of the music, I love it but definitely in the movie doesn't sound as good as it should. Is not well edited, there's too many tracked music for my taste and in many cases the music is simply buried with sfx. An expanded release would definitely put more interest in the score and specially if we can listen to original ideas and themes from Williams.

Smeltington 1,440 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The Hobbit trilogy sank like a stone soon after BotFA came out. This seems to be a similar situation. The series goes along, people are dissatisfied, but still want to see where it's going and if it gets better. The hype continues up until the last entry in the series. Then when people don't like that final entry, all the excitement dies out super fast. It's lucky the FYC (and film) came out when it did, or we might be in another situation like Solo. oierem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a die-hard non-redemptionist before the movie came out, but I thought the way it was accomplished—by essentially rewinding Han Solo’s death visually and thematically, albeit a bit abruptly and glibly—was the best way they could have pulled it off. And the reintroduction of Palpatine made it a lot less anticlimactic and more palatable (Palpatable?) than otherwise. But the kiss was still dumb pandering.

I think we disagree entirely on the thematic effect and meaning of his redemption (for example, I thought it was foreshadowed from TFA and only reinforced in TLJ), and what his story is supposed to mean. and what Star Wars is supposed to mean (i.e. mythic fairy tale vs. realistic one-to-one morality play). Vader himself did worse things and for longer, as did other characters in Star Wars - who also were redeemed (and some of them even lived and were forgiven, and happy, like Agent Kallus!) - and remember if a character deserved to be redeemed, they wouldn't need it (paraphrasing a C.S. Lewis quote). I'll agree with you that it should have been done better (and could have been done better) but that's on JJ and Chris Terrio. At the end of the day I'm just glad it happened and that John Williams wrote fantastic music for it. But that we disagree is OK. Star Wars can mean different things to different people.

We now know that Kylo Ren's redemption was a traejectory that the filmmakers had in mind from the moment they set up his internal conflict. In The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren does choose the darkness in killing his father, but there's a closeup of him immediately afterwards, and Abrams in the commentary says: "I think that, once he does it, he regrets it." The Last Jedi didn't shut the door on Kylo's redemption, but certainly - by the end of the film - bolstered his stand on the side of evil. You can even read the early parts of The Last Jedi as Kylo Ren feigning his internal conflict to Rey so as to get her to be there for his coup. In either case, just because something is set-up, doesn't mean that the payoff is gonna work. It'd be like giving Voldemort a redemption arc in The Deathly Hallows or giving Commodus a redemption in Gladiator.

Smeltington 1,440 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It was always obvious he would "turn to the light side" given a few things: - He's Han and Leia's son - He always showed he was conflicted, via Adam Driver's performance, through his Vader wannabe status in TFA, and killing Snoke/guards in TLJ - The new movies stuck so closely to the old ones, and he was the Vader equivalent It was also obvious he would die, just because he couldn't truly be considered "one of the good guys" and deserve to live happily ever after, after how evil he was. That's kinda basic storytelling. The kiss was not so obvious, although there was a lot of sexual tension between the two of them in TLJ in particular. And lots of fans who wanted that.

If anything, that Kylo Ren does what he does in spite of his moral compass telling him otherwise makes him all the more monsterous. Again, it'd be like ending Gladiator with a redemption for Commodus. Few things are more satisfying that watch a villain like Kylo or Commodus beaten to a pulp, and we're robbed of that with Kylo and his stupid, cheap and insidious redemption arc. Also, the killing of Snoke wasn't an act of moral conflict: it was a cut-and-dry coup. Its telling that during the ensuing fight, Rey helps Kylo, but he lets Rey fend for herself: helping her out was never his objective. He just needed her there.

As I said in my post, we're never going to agree on these things. We don't agree on what is even happening in the scenes so we're not going to agree on what they mean.

mrbellamy 6,287 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 If this movie had nothing to do with Star Wars and was just a random blockbuster movie I probably would have given it like a 3/10 and dismissed it entirely. It's pretty incoherent even as far as these things go. Since I get some basic enjoyment out of the series it's like a 5/10ish from me. I think it's about on par with the prequels in that way. Some of it is better than what George was doing, some of it really seems worse. It's weird to say but I think Eps I-III may be vaguely more "normal" i.e. linear and watchable as far as their story nuts and bolts go, but JJ's direction and his actors are obviously a little more consistently engaged. Kinda splits the difference....I will say Revenge of the Sith beats it as a trilogy finale due to more prolonged cathartic moments in the film and especially score. ...tbh Phantom Menace may win on points as well, nothing in Rise really strikes me as memorably crafty like the podrace sound design or the editing/choreography/scoring of Maul vs Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon.
