Popular Post Jay 37,475 Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 Cellist Cécilia Tsan posted on Facebook that they recorded with Williams on Monday, February 7th! Posted Monday, February 7th, 10:46pm local California time: "Happy 90th birthday to the great John Williams (February 8th, in less than two hours)!!! That photo was taken in 2019 at the end of the Star Wars sessions but tonight we were in the same Sony studios, recording his magnificent music again. We were all smiling behind our masks. When he gave us the downbeat to play his piece we instead played "Happy Birthday" and he kept conducting!!! What a joy! What a force of nature! Truly inspirational." https://www.facebook.com/cecilia.tsan/posts/10223238048833232 Posted Tuesday, February 8th, 7:23pm local California time "My goodness, this is so beautiful!!!! Thank you, Maestro!!!, Maestri, actually. Feeling incredibly blessed to have played under both their batons, Seiji Ozawa's in Paris and John Williams' in Los Angeles ( including last night!). Gracias a la vida!" https://www.facebook.com/cecilia.tsan/posts/10223241621882556 Cécilia added as a comment to that post: "JW conducted last night? What did he conduct? A tv project." https://www.facebook.com/cecilia.tsan/posts/10223241621882556?comment_id=10223242202297066 Falstaft, Brando, Tiburon and 8 others 4 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think this complaint makes sense personally. Most of what occurs actually on Tatooine in those films is not consequential to most of the galaxy. Anyway, I've been loving getting more world building with Tatooine specifically. I completely understand wanting to see more planets, but I'm not complaining that's for sure.

Popular Post Tom 4,687 Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hey John, would you be interested in scoring a title piece for a new Star Wars show?

Romão 2,276 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 So does this mean Powell might be doing the main scoring duties? The Force theme was always pretty much a Kenobi theme in the first Star Wars, but perhaps Williams wants to give the character a unique theme, like he did for young Han Solo Will and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 909 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Devil's advocate... wouldn't musicians have been told / signed an agreement to not say anything about a project like this if the project was Obi-Wan?
