TLJ OST "Main Title & Escape" — Is this a time change? [No]

[j39m 75]

I'm asking after this section from the TLJ OST (cut from the film), around the 3-minute mark of the first track. (See also: crumbs' excellent reassembly of the sequence, restoring the music.) It's the Resistance motif cast into a fresh meter not heard in TFA.

 

I hear this:

 

 

But I'm not good at counting, so I'm not sure. Cast a vote, help me out?

This is what's actually written:

Thank you for sharing! Those are some awfully specific triplets. When you say "actually written," do you mean that if I burgled JoAnn Kane, this is what I would find?

Yes, but be careful.

My two cents: the rhythm is a little ambiguous. Ask a bunch of professional musicians to transcribe this and I bet you half of them will get it wrong.

I'm still so pissed they cut that part out of the movie.

Maybe the best part of the whole score

It's still kind of my favorite slice of music in the whole trilogy lol

I was holding my breath in theaters, waiting for it. I remember feeling sad, "oh, did I miss it?"

I feel guilty but I think the imagined gimmick in my head has given it a huge leg up ("Spiciest development of the resistance motif in the sequel trilogy"). Still — even if it's solidly 3/4 throughout, it's an extraordinary shake-up, more distinctive than most of the other uses of the motif in TLJ. (And the other uses don't slouch.)
