Antonb 118 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 If they weren't bothered about john Williams doing the theme I don't think we would have heard as much about it. Variety and the like ran the story. I can see them releasing the theme or suite before the premiere. Like they did for Solo ! Ricard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom 4,610 Posted May 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2022 The only reasonable explanation for the delay is a dissatisfaction with the theme. My sources tell me that currently Giachinno and a handful of ghostwriters are working on a new theme--one that captures the modern spirit and sensibilities of Star Wars.

Well now we're just picking nits but definitely the way I hear it is he's saying the theme is "really special" and that it was "special" to hear it being recorded. That last bit didn't sound specifically in reference to just watching Williams conduct. Anyway I'm not worried about this music being good and don't have any reason to think McGregor didn't enjoy it.

I don't think we hear this theme until the premiere (though I would love to be wrong). I'm looking forward to hearing his theme and Holt's score but yes, I suspect that most people will just see this as a nice 'oh, neat, John Williams did the main titles' sort of thing at most, and I feel that's a proportionate reaction. I can imagine perhaps the main title/whatever else he wrote being released as a digital EP alongside the album, maybe as a little promotion building ahead of the show.

It will be the "full main title", obviously. Which, knowing Williams, won't be the only fully composed version of the theme, and I expect the promised suite to be more substantial. Which is why I kinda like hearing the main title version first, as a sort of teaser to the concert version that the suite probably is.

mrbellamy 6,235 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 The scoring of the establishment shot of the island before it cuts to Rey is arguably Jedi Steps-esque but it's a very slight resemblance if it's intentional.

That mysterious religious melancholy was magical. But the original Jedi Steps lives and breathes because of its slow, gradual buildup. That's not something you can (or perhaps even should) easily apply to different sequences. I also don't think the concept would work for the main theme of a series.

crocodile 7,930 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I think it has this mystical, yet tad dark and ambiguous, tone would suit Luke's character quite well in this new trilogy. Was hoping it would become his theme. Karol MikeH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
