karelm 2,913 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 This is awesome! I love it and am reading it with JW's distinctive speaking style. You know what's crazy? I remember reading all this 21 years ago with unbelievable anticipation and it turns out that was way less time than JW had last worked on a Star Wars film since ROTJ was 1983 and TPM was recorded in February 1999. More time separates us from this article than separated TPM from ROTJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc 2,674 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 John being modest about Star Wars as "light music." He does slyly let his estimation of the music rise of the level of opera, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igger6 894 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 This is awesome! Great find. His listing of new themes is odd, though. A theme for Anakin's mother? And the Queen? Did we watch the same movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artguy360 1,843 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Shmi has a motif for sure. I'm not sure about the Queen but maybe there is some minor motif that I'm not recalling right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,949 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The writing for Shmi doesn't come across as thematic until it gete reprised in Attack of the Clones. Its neat that Williams had it in his mind as part of the thematic construction of the score back in the day, as opposed to retconning it (a-la the funeral music). The princess doesn't have any discernable thematic ideas that I can recall. Either Williams is misremembering, or such an idea got cut out of the score.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Shmi has a distintive thematic material reprised several times. The Queen...not so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montre 79 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 My favorite Star Wars score. It literally carries the movie. I just wish the score had been given more presence in the sound mix of the film, and not chopped up so badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
