Naïve Old Fart 9,513 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 My first thought is: "It's a mess", but I want to hear it in the show, where it might be a bit more coherent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,432 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I like it! Not Williams' best SW theme, but I'm sure it'll grow on me once I watch the show. Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Richard Penna 3,683 Posted May 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2022 It's a perfectly nice theme but it doesn't rank anywhere near his best. While it's reasonably memorable I'm not feeling that element that makes it an 'emotional' theme.

GerateWohl 4,354 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I wrote it already in the other thread. Just listened to it again and realised, that, what I find quite unusual, the theme has no B-section or another part. It is just this short melody, maybe four or six bars, and that gets repeated and varied rhythmically and harmonically a little, but that's it. Even March of the Resistance had some kind of B-part. This one doesn't. 28 minutes ago, Jurassic Shark said: I think it's derived from the force theme. I thought, it's rather derived from Battle of Heroes which also had no b-part except the insert of the force theme and it had more variation).

King Mark 3,631 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 On my Grado GS1000i headphones it sounds really grandiose Anyways it's really good, some of you are underestimating it. I think it's the awesome brass orchestrations only Williams can do that makes it great even if the theme itself is a bit simplistic Andy and Edmilson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artguy360 1,843 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I am really enjoying the official JW release but I like the surprise string opening from the Celebration version more. The softer string opening of the official recording is also nice, similar to Tales of a Jedi Knight. I think I like the end credits version least of all.

artguy360 1,843 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Listening to it more (at least 14 times now), it is a decent minor SW theme. It's perfectly nice to listen to as almost all JW music is, and it fits the psychology and state of Obi Wan at this time. But it's the least interesting of all JW's recent SW themes. Even Galaxy's Edge and Adventures of Han are both better. MaxTheHouseelf and Bofur01 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,041 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I haven't listened to the single yet, but I like it in the show. I'm just stunned that its kinship with the Star Wars main theme/Luke's theme isn't coming up more in these threads. My girlfriend is less interested in film/TV scores than I am, but she still turned to me partway through the first episode and said, "Nice variation on the main theme."

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I think it's really good. The first few notes sound a bit like the PS4 Spider-Man theme but I seriously doubt Williams played that game.

PokeDocMatt 57 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 The theme itself is exquisite. It’s instantly memorable, hummable and versatile. But the application in the concert work is missing a great B section or development. It’s just a little too repetitive. Don’t get me wrong. I love it, especially the individual elements. The ostinato when it comes in gives me chills and captures the turmoil of Kenobi. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
