Is this music by JW? I’m not certain, but leaning towards ‘yes’. DarthDementous, Will and Remco 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as it started, I thought so and actually thought that was going to transition into the title music (instead of the rescored prequel flashback edit).

The Lost Folio 183 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I think after decades of Star Wars music by dozens of composers (TV shows, games, etc.) we know that the Star Wars "style" can be easily imitated by any professional (or even amateur) composer.

Andy 4,131 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 It's certainly better. I wish they'd done new visuals too. There's nothing I like about those colored heads, or the altered typeface in the logo. The 2022 Star Trek visuals are much more fun and striking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDementous 1,059 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 It's quite funny, when I heard that opening logo music I thought it was Natalie Holt's score and I was like 'wow this really does sound like Star Wars!'...and then the Order 66 sequence begun Evanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artguy360 1,843 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 It has a lot of JW SW flavor, but if it was JW I think Luacasfilm marketing would make a bigger deal of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'm betting on Ross. They wouldn't bring in Haab just for one short cue when they already had the better of the Williams adaptors on the books and an orchestra in front of him.

Back to Star Wars - I too wish they would do something better than the chrome heads. It feels like a marketing message since there are no likeness rights associated with those characters.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 The Mando one works as cool logo music (sorry I just like it) while this new one just sounds like the beginning of a longer cue, doesn’t feel natural to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,079 Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 As JW is a master of interesting harmonic progressions, I think he would have come up with a more refined key change towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final chord also sounds like it arrives just a bit too early. Doesn’t have the space to arrive at the culminating moment. It’s anticlimactic for me actually. JW wouldn’t have done this, but an editor might have… EDIT - just listened to it again, it really sounds like a poorly spliced edit. Wonder what it was supposed to do.

Fabulin 3,513 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 The plot thickens. The thematic material and the orchestration of the logo music have been woven into the score of the 4th episode, fitting a dimly lit sneaking scene in an imperial hallway like a glove. It's not exactly the same thing, but sounds adapted from it. Either it's an awesome use of logo music, or... could it be that it is the logo music that has been derived from that cue in the first place?

Popular Post Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted June 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2022 I do not, if this is a williams cue it should be the logo music for ever and if it is a ross cue, then it too deserves to be there till the end of time, the guy needs some recognition for his hard work.
