Who do you think will score the new Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series, using Williams' theme?

Music editor was recently added to IMDB. The Hollywood Reporter also confirmed conductor Anthony Parnther. He already conducted Ludwig's Tenet and Turning Red, lately doing the job on The Book of Boba Fett and The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild.

So it's someone Disney knows and trusts.

 

Also, did Tenet used an orchestra? I was under the impression with was a purely electronic score.

The London Symphony Orchestra is listed on IMDB. I've not listened to that score so I can't attest to how much orchestral music there is.

[Van_Etten 111]

There are orchestral bits here and there. The first half of "The Algorithm" is partly orchestral for sure. But as Ludwig noted he wanted many elements to be manipulated, processed or stretched.

In addition to Parnther, he played bassoon on Rogue One, Solo and The Rise of Skywalker.

Okay, it's getting kinda ridiculous they haven't just said who it is at this point. I don't quite understand the purpose of having such information withheld at this point.

They're keeping it secret because John Williams scored the whole thing

[Courtney Sees Ghosts 269]

I don't think it's unfair to assume that John Powell is probably gonna to do the score. I also want him to do it because he's an amazing composer. Plus, I am still in love with his score for Solo which is still my favorite of the this era of Star Wars and my second favorite Star Wars score overall. 

I won't be mad, but I'll be a little bummed if he doesn't do it.

If these photos are from Kenobi's sessions, then the few London musicians must've been contracted, a la the London musicians contracted for the sequel trilogy, although the scores were of course recorded in LA. I highly doubt they were fake listings, that would be way too obscure for a "prank".

[Van_Etten 111]

And there's Anthony Parnther reacting to the photo of her.

JWFAN member @Gibster referencing a Star Wars rumor article referencing JWFAN member @Gibster . Quite the circular reference!! 😂

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

I wonder if John Williams is working on this

[Manakin Skywalker 4,891]

Funny that they mentioned Gibster specifically although he didn't mention anyone by name, he just said "it's a female". 

 

I posted about it a couple days before he did, but apparently only the folks on Discord took notice.

Wasn’t referring to the Gibster thing more the Jwfan thing, sorry if it seemed like that.

I'm embarrassed to say I just realized this was Natalie Holt's head. 

[crumbs 14,301]

Maybe the early sessions were in London then they moved to LA for pick-ups, after Williams recorded his material?

 

Who knows, maybe JW helped out with a few extra sketches, if the sessions were based in LA (assuming he had time between Fabelman and Indy 5 commitments).

[Not Mr. Big 4,639]

In general, I'm starting to doubt the Variety JW announcement.  Especially considering the lack of official confirmation and the fact that some information in the article was later redacted.

Doesn't that make it more likely the article is accurate? They would've redacted the entire article, rather than correct it, if it were untrue.

 

The lack of confirmation is indeed strange, but the JKMS post says a big announcement is happening next week.

It makes the info as a whole a lot more suspect to me.  Shaky foundation.

You're forgetting one of the musicians said they recorded a television theme for John 2 or 3 days before the Variety article went up (not even mentioning that post). I can't think of anything else it could possibly be. It's pretty much a guarantee at this point.

Yes. Not to mention the only other theory (recording the new Oscars overture for this year's ceremony) didn't eventuate.

Oh i read "alansilvestr_music" and assumed things. He usually wears that kind of shirts doesnt he? And the hair is similar...the moustache was new for me

Here's a picture that has both Alan Silvestri and Mark Graham in it so you can see the difference

Yeah, I saw an old man on the photos and "alan silvestri music" underneath, and for a few seconds I thought Silvestri was doing it. 

[Disco Stu 15,495]

They haven't announced a composer for Ms. Marvel yet have they?  Conceivably Holt could be doing that score now.  Although I'd been assuming it would at least be led by Laura Karpman since she was announced as scoring The Marvels next year.

 

I think Obi-Wan is most likely, but wanted to come up with a plausible alternative.
