SilverTrumpet 638 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 One of the best Star Wars soundtracks period. Probably third after the Williams stuff and Solo without thinking of it much.

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 You have to remember that this is a video game from a different time. During this time, film scores were more like this too. Something like Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga has the dullest, bad imitation John Williams music you've ever heard. That is, when they're not abusing John Williams's music in editing.

Lego Skywalker Saga is the odd one out here All of the other main Star Wars games post-Disney acquisition have had authentic and lush orchestral scores. EA Battlefront 1 and 2, SWTOR (namely Knights of the Fallen Empire and Knights of the Eternal Throne expansions), Squadrons, and Jedi Fallen Order. There’s also Lego Force Awakens although that was all Williams. Writing out this list makes me realise how little games EA put out during their monopoly, thank goodness the license is more open now There is something awkward about the cue you posted but I think it’s mostly the mixing and cheap sound of the digital instruments, I actually quite like that little soaring string section, I just wish it didn’t sound like it was coming out of a tin can 8 hours ago, Not Mr. Big said: That's great news!

crumbs 14,316 Posted June 5, 2022 Author Share Posted June 5, 2022 I don't really understand why you'd go to all the trouble to finally release a soundtrack for this game, then leave a good chunk of the score unreleased?

HunterTech 994 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 16 minutes out of the whole 58 is a good chunk? Griskey had been trying to figure out how to play his source files prior to the release being announced, so I assume this was all he could find or wanted to release.

Popular Post HunterTech 994 Posted June 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2022 I always tend to view the context within which the allegations pop up as a means of determining how legit they are (which is probably why I find the current world famous case a bit conflicting). With Soule, there's very little to suggest there was any ulterior motive involved with the accusations (plus with all the recent events regarding video game companies having a bunch of sex pests working for them, it wouldn't surprise me if he was protected by the higher ups who enabled this behavior for a good while).

Manakin Skywalker 4,894 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Yeah for me it kind of depends on the individual case, and in this case I think the allegations are probably true. They're just too specific and bizarre to not be. Plus Soule never denied them, he just deleted his social media accounts and disappeared. Idk if he's worked at all since. He's always just seemed like kind of a creepy dude to me, long before said allegations. Brando and DarthDementous 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DarthDementous 1,059 Posted June 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2022 Yeah if the evidence and context provided points towards guilt then I don't think you need to rely on a court of law to personally make up your mind on the matter However, precedents like 'women don't lie' and selective innocent before proven guilty are really dangerous things to set. I've known of people who've had their lives ruined by provenly false allegations thanks to that attitude, and a lack of curbing that seriously damages genuine accusations as it raises the general level of skepticism. Victims already have immense social pressures preventing them from coming forward, so I don't think it's a stretch to see how the pendulum can swing back pretty nastily as a result. The truth is everyone can lie when they have something they want to gain particularly if they're motivated by spite, allegations hold immense power over the Internet especially due to how quickly information can be spread and disseminated. Therefore, to have this politically-motivated blind-spot for certain groups is amazingly irresponsible, and you can guarantee that malicious actors will be more than happy to take advantage of that amnesty It's an incredibly bizarre thing, the Internet is both an invaluable tool for the voiceless but also something that can turn extremely quickly into blind mob justice Manakin Skywalker, Edmilson, Brando and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manakin Skywalker 4,894 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I haven't listened to the full album yet (waiting for it to show up on Qobuz!) but in the samples on the Disney licensing site I definitely heard a lot of little bits here and there that I know aren't in the game (or even used in SWTOR). Even if this isn't a "complete" release, it's still worth it to finally be able to listen to some previously unheard bits!
