crumbs 14,306 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 That is promising news, indeed... I guess this makes it unlikely Ludwig is composing. Powell is based in LA too, but he recorded Solo in London. Manakin Skywalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manakin Skywalker 4,891 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Powell records most of his scores in London nowadays from what I can tell. The same bassist is credited on most if not all of JP's recent scores. Granted that doesn't necessarily confirm JP's involvement, but it is interesting nonetheless.

crumbs 14,306 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Powell's my number one choice for this project, especially if there's a rematch duel on Mustafar. I can see him knocking that type of music out of the park. Frankly I can't imagine many other composers who could match what Williams scored for the third act of ROTS. Maybe David Arnold or JNH?

Edmilson 7,424 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It will probably be some indie composer who has only worked for minor productions until now and therefore his fee will be very cheap for Disney. crumbs and bored 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrayodiBA 517 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 ^^ It’s official: https://filmmusicreporter.com/2022/02/17/disneys-obi-wan-kenobi-tv-series-to-feature-theme-by-john-williams/ Variety has confirmed that John Williams has recorded a theme for the upcoming Disney+ limited series Obi-Wan Kenobi. The composer has recorded the theme last week with a Los Angeles orchestra. Recording sessions for the show’s score written by another composer (to be announced soon) have been taking place in London in recent months. ^^ how come the full score has been recorded these past months, but the main theme has only been recorded last week? I don’t get the coordination here 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manakin Skywalker 4,891 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I suppose it depends on when he wrote it. It's possible he could've written it months in advance for the other composer to utilize; at least I'd assume/hope that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would imagine so... the recording sessions probably need a couple of weeks but I expect it was written plenty in advance for the composer to use. Fingers hopelessly crossed for John Powell (not going to happen) but it does suggest they might be going for something a bit more trad-Star Wars, music wise, than Mando/BOBF. Exciting news either way. bored 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Desplat, finally? London suggests at least a more european choice of composer. But as far as i can see, Powell did nothing (much) last year, so it's probably him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Matt C 452 Posted February 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2022 I would LOVE it if Powell scored "Obi-Wan", since he did such a great job on "Solo." I don't want to get my hopes up too much. Whoever scores the six part series has their work cut out for them with Williams' new theme. Maybe it's William Ross? crumbs, Tom Guernsey, bored and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's unlikely that Williams would hand over his theme to a guy that doesn't meet his seal of approval, it's probably Powell, whom he seems chummy enough with. As for Desplat, i would have at least expected more elegant thematic material - which means i would have gotten at least a few cues out of Rogue One, with MG i don't even have that.

Very exciting news, can't wait to hear what he comes up with considering that Ben Kenobi's original theme became the Force theme. In one of those “controversial opinions” threads I suggested that Ben Kenobi’s theme effectively evolved into the main theme for the entire Star Wars franchise. It appears far more often than the actual main theme including in trailers and the Star Wars ident with the light flashing over the helmets that Disney use. The main theme is great but it’s much more of a Saturday matinee swashbuckling theme that fits the original movie and Luke when he was essentially an innocent being heroic but is perhaps too upbeat as a calling card for the more mythical tone of the series as a whole.

I thought Williams would be approached to write the main theme for "Obi-Wan", be it a feature or streaming series. Much less work than writing a score for a 2 hour movie, especially at his age. You'd figure they would announce the composer for the episodes, so it must be a high profile name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if he would've utilized Williams' themes as often as Lucasfilm wanted, but I bet his theme for Jyn Erso would've been beautiful.
