Any random cue from the prequel scores is probably better. They're hardly throwaway soundtracks and you could mount a compelling argument that they're not far off the OT scores.Cilogy wrote:man I thought the Resistance theme was incredibly uninspired and sounded like any random cue from the prequel scoreVader182 wrote:Rey's theme is gold and the Resistance theme is great.

That being said, are there any die-cast guarantees that Williams will do VIII?

His work on Tintin was worse, in my opinion.Vader182 wrote:Rey's theme is gold and the Resistance theme is great. Maybe his weakest overall score but still, great stuff.

Yes. What I mean is there is a lot of stuff in the previous Star Wars scores that is composed specifically for a certain shot or scene. While it works and it sounds great, it's not memorable nor iconic - and it doesn't have to be because it serves a specific purpose.ArmandFancypants wrote:Any random cue from the prequel scores is probably better.

The Resistance theme is like one of those cues. I don't know if Williams just didn't put enough effort into coming up with exciting new themes or when asked, the filmmakers told him to "you know ... just make it Star Wars-y".

It's call aging, the guy is not as creative as when he was in his peak and it's not surprising. Still, I agree, Rey's theme may be his best composition in years, the rest is forgettable.
Come one guys, Kylo's theme is fucking awesome and enhances his badasssery a good amount.
The whole soundtrack is worth it if only for Rey's Theme tbh.
If Williams brings something on that level to the next soundtrack then I'd be ecstatic to see him return for Episode VIII.

I really like the track: Follow Me
No one ever seems to mention that one. It's when they run to the Millennium Falcon
