Jay 37,275 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 If it was meant to be the Secrets theme, Powell would have been credited. Since he's not, it's gotta just be a coincidentally similar sounding theme. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2022 We are now two episodes in and the consensus on the score has been pretty good so far! I'll admit there have been a few times where the music seems to be missing an extra punch, but Shirley is doing good work with a strong set of themes and I look forward to hearing the forthcoming albums. Here's what I heard in this chapter... A Prisoner - A sneaky and slippery string melody takes us from an exterior shot of Jabba's palace and into Boba's court. Muted trumpets and percussion set the stage before the cue lowers beneath dialogue. To the Mayor's - Strands of Boba's S2 theme appear, bumping along in the background in a way that is very similar to the previous episode. Who Sent the Assassins? - Brief atmospheric stuff as Boba confronts the mayor. Not really mentionable. More Max Rebo - Another cantina band cue. This one doesn't appear to be aping anything in particular. The Twins - Some short ideas for the Hutts, including muted trumpets, low wailing, and little bits and bumps for the brief standoff. More Bacta Tank / Tusken Camp - The "not Secrets" theme is heard on strings, with vocal interjections. Hit and Run - The action seems to be picking up as a mysterious train approaches. Percussion and orchestra hits mix with rather Dune-esque wailing, before a solemn melody plays over the Tusken funeral pyre. Boba's Plan - Some suspense bits as Boba spots the speeders in the night. Fairly standard planning music follows. Anchorhead Bar - Some vocal textures and strings. Stealing the Speeders - A couple of different statements appear of the pirate theme play rather nicely as Boba brings a slew of speeders back to camp. Training the Tuskens - A great little set piece with a strong melody at the centre makes for what may be one of the best cues in the show thus far. It's lighthearted and fun but becomes more serious as the tribe prepare to stop the train. I really hope it's on the first volume! Stopping the Train - A very long action set piece with plenty of cool bits but not a lot of connective tissue. Lots of beat thumps and impending strings signal the start of the wild west hold-up. The more prominent backing vocals from Ludwig's suite appear a lot. There are some cool string runs as the little Tusken snipers get into position, as well as a silly frantic cluster for the little droid engineer. The "not Secrets" theme is heard with a bit of tension on strings. I would expect this to be on the album. Pyke Prisoners - Some general underscore as Boba talks to the prisoners from the train. Picks up a little when the Tuskens find the water. Guide in Your Head - Atmospheric music for Boba's dream sequence. Not much that really sticks out, to be honest. New Clothes / Carpentry - My pick for the best cue in this episode, mostly because it does some great stuff with Ludwig's themes. The "not Secrets" theme is chanted in a much more drawn-out tempo, before the Razor Crest equivalent section of Ludwig's suite takes centre stage, first with lone vocals and then onto solo violin for the second half of the theme. The pirate theme provides a transition into the woodworking montage, where the Razor Crest equivalent continues. Tribal Dance - Percussive accompaniment for the tribe's dance at the end of the episode. CGCJ, enderdrag64, Holko and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manakin Skywalker 4,889 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I'm still convinced that the similarity to Powell's "secrets theme" is just a coincidence, but the inclusion of the Pikes in this episode was an unexpected development. Perhaps there is more to it after all. Maybe that will turn out to be the main link between the flashbacks and the present? Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Popular Post Falstaft 2,132 Posted January 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2022 Enjoyed this episode very much too. I think the tenuous connections people were drawing between Powell's "Secrets" theme and some melodic details in BOBF grow thinner by the day, both musically and symbolically. It's just a neighbor note figure, folks. I also saw also chatter on Twitter about some miniscule musical detail signaling the presence of Omega from The Bad Batch during one Kamino flashback which is even more straw-grasping. That said, I was delighted with what struck my ears as a more concrete musical reference, or maybe channeling is better, with the drum-beating theme that accompanies the arrival of the Hutt twins near the start: It's not Jabba's theme, nor even a distant variation of it. But there's a kind of shared musical DNA, in terms of orchestration ("gross" sounding brass) and melodic content (the ascent of a major seventh from ^5 to ^#4). Really nice touch, I thought.

michael_grig 464 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I have to say, I liked this episode much better than the first one. Furthermore, the storyline is expanded to his time with the tuskens, I think this is done very well. My concern about the current storyline as New Jabba got even bigger now, I don't know, it all just doesn't add up. The music seemed a bit more classically orchestral this episode, I liked it a lot, expectedly I liked the cue where he was dressed and building his cane the best. Shirley plays really nice with the theme there, the chord progression is also just really nice. Now I'm happily waiting for the music to come out in the albums!

Popular Post The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted January 6, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2022 I went back and watched the last few minutes of the episode just to hear that montage cue again. I'll echo what Stu said: that entire sequence was set up so perfectly for Shirley and he absolutely smashed it. Similar in a lot of ways to the forging scenes from Mando S1: no dialogue and sparse sound effects, the score mixed right at the front with the purpose of carrying weight and meaning to the neat rituals on screen. And it's a fantastic combination every time! The other thing I took note of was how relatively restrained the cue is too! You might expect a lot of exclamation marks and big trumpet hits and the theme at its biggest and boldest over the top, but those low-key chants and hums of Ludwig's theme do all the heavy lifting (and throw in a solo cello for good measure!). Even when Boba dons his new robes and exits the tent we get a few noble brass chords before transitioning back to the same theme for the carpentry bit. It's really smart scoring and a class act from Shirley! I'm impressed and I'm glad others have recognized it too. Also: one of the other excellent set pieces from this episode is most certainly the speeder training bit. It's not super long but the melody really makes for a fascinating balancing act. It's lighthearted and happy but also determined and serious. The whole sequence honestly reminded me a lot of IG's reprogram scene in Chapter 7 of Mando, which worked well because of how nimbly it walked that tonal line between sweet and sincere (not the best choice of words, but I think they communicate my general sentiment well enough). I also noticed that the melody that plays under the speeder lessons reappears rather triumphantly when the Tuskens get the water from the wrecked train. Anyway, this is my roundabout way of saying bring on Volume 1, please! 16 hours ago, Disco Stu said: This has gone a bit viral, but posting here in case any one hasn't seen it yet.

For example, the way it's used in Astrid Lindgren's RONJA RÖVERDOTTER (RONJA, THE ROBBER'S DAUGHTER) by composer Björn Isfält. It would make sense since Göransson is Swedish, and the vibe of medieval robbers and outlaws in the Lindgren universe matches somewhat with the spaghetti western/outlaw vibe of Boba Fett. So a cross between Morricone and Norse, I'd say. enderdrag64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo takes place 19 years years before The Book of Boba Fett's main timeline / 14 years before it's flashback timeline. Emilia Clarke was 30 when Solo was filmed in early 2017, and would have been 34 if she filmed any scenes for this show early last year. So the actress ages 4 years but the characters ages either 19 or 14 years depending on which timeline she might show up in. Some googling tells me Qi'ra was meant to only be 21 years old in Solo. Meaning she'd be 40 years old during The Book of Boba Fett's main timeline and 35 during the flashback timeline. So 34 year old Emilia Clarke playing 40 or 35 year old Qi'ra is actually pretty spot-on. The bigger silliness with actor ages is Temuera Morrison himself. Boba Fett was 10 years old in Attack of the Clones, so would be 35 during TESB and 36 during ROTJ/the flashback portion of Boba Fett, and 41 during the main timeline of Book of Boba Fett.

I'm just not convinced (yet) that he's a strong enough presence to lead the show. We'll see. It's also possible that the writing isn't as good as it could be and therefore his character isn't as strong. The flashbacks are sort of falling flat with me, and while I think the "present day" story is more compelling, his character doesn't have much of a commanding presence, IMO.

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 I've been getting a lot of fan covers in my recommendations, and while I'm largely adverse to the more popular remixes that can readily be described as "epic", there are still quite a few proper musicians who have put together some genuinely neat arrangements. There's something about seeing talented people sharing a passion for something that I too enjoy that will always be fun for me. Anyway, here's a cool cello version that I really liked: And more cello! I wonder if they're going to end one of the later episodes with an orchestral version of the credits, similar to what they did in Mando S1. I'd be curious to hear it! michael_grig and ragoz350 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
