Even John fucking Williams phoned it in. I had no expectations. I was expecting the mediocre garbage we got, but at least a good light saber fight and one memorable song, but we didn't even that. What a fucking disappointment.
>>64320558
Rey's theme you dumb fuck
Rey's theme is ok, but yeah John is going senile. I wonder if they'll go through the entire trilogy with him.
Nothing will ever beat Duel of the Fates
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwcQAqPiyHY
Rey's theme is good and the Resistance theme is pretty good too. Kylos theme is a little cliche but it's still good. Williams doesn't make bad music ever.
>>64320558
>tfw the only thing I can actually remember from the film's soundtrack is The Jedi Steps and Finale
>tfw it's basically just an add-on to Binary Sunset
How do you want your Star Wars score, senpai?
>>64320558
CIS theme is great as well
And the asteroid field
>>64320762
Honestly its overrated
Battle of heroes is better, and binary sunset and imperial march are THE best.
>>64321403
Fuck I love asteroid field
>NUUUHHH NUH NUH NUH NUH NUHHHH NUH
And leias theme, hans, han and leas, emperors theme, rebellion theme, main theme, boba fetts theme and yoda/dagobah are all GOAT.
I like the clone army one as well
>>64321440
Dank as fuck
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST1t2mBkykA

Bull fucking shit. Duel of the Fates is much fucking better than Battle of the Heroes.

Its close but heroes just has more power to it. Shame this guys a hack now, I was looking forward to new music
>>64320558
while I was watching this I was convinced that they didn't hire John Williams for TFA.
It was only a few days later I found that he did compose the music. Jesus christ
- There it is.
- Allright, Wedge. Go for the power regulator on the north tower.
- Copy, Gold leader. I'm already on my way out.
- Move the fleet away from the Death Star!
- YEHAAAA!
- Ya-ha-ha-ha.
>people still believe John Williams scored TFA
>>64321988
disney had a tight leash on him unlike lucas feeding him the way he did
>>64320558
He ran out of stuff to rip off
>tfw even the Star Trek reboot theme is more iconic than anything in The Force Awakens
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACkEaxq_NT4
>>64320558
The emperors theme in general is great
Han Solo and the Princess is GOAT.
Underrated is the Kamino theme, Qui-Gons theme, Carbon Freezing Chamber, Shuttle Tyderium Approaches Endor.
Also: Augies Municipal Band from the end of episode 1 is the Emperors theme in disguise. Its played very fast and in a happy key.
>>64322451
>a happy key.
Ive only seen TFA once, and I guess it's mostly due to the editing, but I cant really remember a standout track. I know there was music, I just cant remember what. Biggest dissappointment was when the x-wings attacked Maz' cantina. I expected some heroic imposing theme, but there was nothing of note.
>>64322451
>>64322498
>a happy key
It's called a major scale.
>>64322582
Disney probably want generic avengers music
>>64320558
YODAS THEME
>>64322106
This. 5 minutes of selected comparison and it's obvious that he's a copycat, although very talented one.
Binary Sunset > Imperial March > everything else
WHY CANT HANS ZIMMER SCORE EVERY MOVIE???
WHY CANT LIFE BE THIS WAY???????
>>64320762

Because you're full of shit.
>>64322916
get ax-murdered Hans
>>64322916
Are you aware that Zimmer is even more of a plagiarist than Williams?
>>64320558
Rey's Theme is objectively the best track of VII
>>64323037
Yeah because it's the only thing that even comes close to resembling a memorable motif
Desplat doing Rogue One. Williams ded
who really cares about filmmusic anyway literally the lowest form of music next to pop music
>>64323106
Its the closest thing to classical orchestra music we have today
>>64323095
Desplat is better than modern Williams.
>>64320558
I liked Rey's Theme & The Scavenger, Kylo's motif when he shows up, and Jedi Steps.
I also enjoyed the lightsaber fight because it made sense. It wasn't going to be old niggas fighting each other like in the OT and it wasn't going to be acrobatic like Jedi in the PT.
It could literally only have been young people smashing randomly because none of them have any good lightsaber training (even Kylo).
>>64320591
>Rey's theme you dumb fuck
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVycvLAFXmc
I like these way more than I should just because they compose 70% of Shadows of the Empire's soundtrack
>>64323095
Desplat is incredibly hit and miss. I'm sure he'll at least pump out one memorable track though.
https://youtu.be/_efSI5_UCxo
>>64323177
>defending VII
Go back to any of the numerous circlejerk threads if you wanna discus the shitty movie. This is about the film score.
>>64323141
True.
When it comes to classical music there's 150+-year-old stuff and movie soundscores
>>64323106
The OT would have been absolute shit without Williams score and you know it. The music was a huge part of the experience.
>>64321542
Battle Of The Heroes is the best one.
Battle of Endor theme is my absolute favourite, probably due to playing those missions so much in Rogue Squadron 2+3
>>64323220
The guy literally in his OP said that there was no memorable lightsaber duel so I felt it appropriate to reply to him.
>>64320762
Undoubtedly.
Yoda's theme makes me all fuzzy.
https://youtu.be/--Y4NqTdfPE
I think i heard a bit of it when Rey had her vision.
>>64323333
impressive
I like Throne room leia theme but this is the GOAT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L63In39n86c
>>64320592
Considering how nearly every review points out how weak the soundtrack was, I fully expect them to get a new composer and just give Williams the title of "Music Supervisor" or something.
>>64323195
man, it's like people don't even try to put in any effort when they troll anymore. reddit has really brought this place down
>>64322916
Zimmer doesn't even fucking score the movies he's listed as the composer of. He gets an unpaid intern to do all if it then he slaps together some BWAAAM shit for the film's main theme then gets all of the credit.
>>64323490
That's a section of the 10 minute Battle of Endor II. At least it's in the big 30th Anniversary Soundtrack.
>>64323491
Is Rian Johnson letting him work with the London Symphony Orchestra?
>>64321440
This. Imperial March is superior. Duel of the Fates has too many notes.
>>64323220
>implying Disney will let him write any new music
>implying it won't just be slightly different arrangements of the OT soundtrack
>>64323491
He never had full control like he did with Lucas, they got chicago and some other guy to do most of TFA's music.
They literally already made him a supervisor, why do you think the score was so shit?
>>64323649
>>64323646
First time I'm hearing this. Any source?
>>64323649
but why would they even do that when he's put out consistently good work in the past?
>>64320558
He's old.
He's done Indiana Jones, Close Encounters, Jurassic Park, the Harry Potter movies, Star Wars, and fuckloads of other shit
At this point he's gone "Spielberg" and is just out of steam and phoning it in until death is unlocked and he moves on the fuck out of here
>>64321440
They're all really good, but they chose Binary Sunset for the main TFA trailer music because it is widely considered to be the best and most iconic song in the entire series
>>64323757
>>64323731
The article the guy posted in other thread talked about it but I can't seem to find it at the moment, so take what I said with a grain of salt, I may have been misled
>>64323649
>some creep from Chicago

http://youtu.be/CXJ0LVQ8sdM
>>64323571
"Letting him" I thought Williams refused to fly out to London because he feels old as fuck or something.
The London Symphony Orchestra is gold that Disney fucked up by not using.
>>64323197
Yeah, SotE made made me super attatched to certain tracks.
>tfw all these spinoffs but still no Shadow movie
>>64324196
I would sooner fire Williams than the LSO.
You can just rearrange the hits if you have to.
>>64323649
Assuming this is true, Disney really went ham-fisted into the "ABSOLUTELY NO PREQUEL STUFF" guideline of the movies.
Maybe Lucas was right about hating corporations and having paranoia over getting controlled by them.
>>64323559
You have any source for that? I can believe it for sure but i want some confirmation more than the word of a stranger on the internet before i lower my opinion of Zimmer even further.
>>64323649
Damn Disney, you fucked up.
Just let Williams do his thing.
>>64324219
Who would play Luke, Leia, etc. if the movie is set so far in the past?
>>64324296
The sources I saw looked good but like I said above I might have been misled, I cannot seem to find sources at the moment.
>>64324373
Well articles I've read besides sources I saw pointed to 'songcraft' or previous iterations by lucas that drove the movie versus kintetic music or something.

>>64320558
All those movies had other great tracks too. Williams did a great job for all six of them, it's a shame that Lucas didn't have the same consistency.

honestly Ep 7 having shit music makes sense, there never was a moment for there to be music
The movie moved so fast that you could never slow down and just listen to the music and action, what we got instead were quips and quips and quips over the music. Imagine the asteroid field in Ep 5 done with Ep7 writing and direction, it would be the cockpit 95 % of the time and bb 8 doing funny stuff
>>64328881
>Video game music is fucking fantastic.
Some of it is, but even the good stuff is generally decent at best. It rarely comes close to the top-tier movie soundtracks.

No shit? A lot of movie scores are forgettable dog shit. A lot of music in general is. A lot of TV shows, movies, games, books as well. It's why the good stuff stands out.
Star Wars video game music, KOTOR at that, is some of the worst as well.

I heard once Williams offered to rescore ANH after all the themes he created during ESB?
How would that be?
>>64330277
>All from the Halo ODST soundtrack
In the top 10 of videogame soundtracks of all time without doubt.
>>64329372
That's actually a fair point, you can't expect John Williams to write a great score for a comedic film that doesn't stop to take a breath.
Return of the Jedi was already too fast in some respects.
>>64329204
>ep V rebel fleet
that shit always hits me in the feels
After the shitshow of this soundtrack, who is left? Zimmer got lazy and lost all potential to be interesting, Pouledouris is dead, and now Williams is senile. There are no more really memorable composers that work with orchestras.
>>64322244
That theme is fucking GOAT.
>>64322582
This. What the fuck was John Williams thinking?
>>64329929
The entire beginning sequence was the best part of that movie, that costume was surreal perfection. They never fucked up the lighting to show how goofy it really is.
>>64320591
sounds like something that belongs in Harry Potter
>the only thing I liked about the prequels was Williams
>TFA is shit
>Williams isn't even good in it
I'm done with this franchise.
>>64331215
ANH is already perfectly scored. Even if Imperial March is GOAT, ANH does fine without it. It's probably better that it's introduced in ESB.
>>64320558
I really liked Rey's theme song (with the percussion with the soft mallets) a lot
>>64323197
The Asteroid field is so perfectly scored to the action on the screen it's insane. I love it. Really a great example of accentuating what's on screen with the score.
>>64320558

>your face as a child when your realize it's fucking happening he's beating vader but only by doing exactly what Vader and The Emperor want from him

>>64322244
It feels like they were kind of trapped.
It's STAR WARS. You need John Williams scoring Star Wars. You just do.
However, if they decided tomorrow that Episode VIII is scored by Michael Giacchino, I don't think anyone would complain. I know I wouldn't.
God damn it /tv/. What the fuck? This guy cranks out more amazing songs before breakfast than most composers do in the entire life and you're shitting on him? Really?
I remember the first track when the stormtroopers attack that village and Rey's theme pretty well. I remember Jedi Steps too but that's pretty much because it was at the end and had Luke.
>>64320558
Rey's theme, get fucked.
>>64333012
It's good, but nothing compared to literally any other peice of star wars music
I can't even remember how it goes and I've seen the movie twice
>>64323224
John Williams music is basically 150+ year old stuff with a few notes changed around.
He literally just copies classical composers and people think he's a fucking genius
https://youtu.be/UPAxg-L0xrM
>>64332963
>It's STAR WARS. You need John Williams scoring Star Wars. You just do.
really cancerous thinking desu. if half the people who wanted williams actually listened to his recent stuff they wouldn't have wanted him. same with lawrence kasdan. they both stink but because they were good 30-40 years ago we're supposed to pretend they're god's given gift
>>64333058
>sampling is stealing
You write a totally original song that's good then. No one bitches when rappers do it. Every story has been told before, every song has already been written, what changes is the delivery. Grow up and blow away.
>>64332971
>This guy cranks out more amazing songs
You mean plagiarised?
>>64329395
The jedi academy theme from kotor 2 is the best song in the EU.
>>64333158
The point is that you can't compare him to the genius composers he steals from. Zimmer is even more of a hack, he just steals from OTHER film composers.
>>64333158
>You write a totally original song that's good then
You don't have to be a chef to know the food tastes like dogshit.
>>64333158
>sampling is stealing
That's exactly what it is. The equivalent to that in film would be taking a 30 year old film, adding some random CGI to it and then selling it like a new movie.
HARRY POTTER SHIT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65As1V0vQDM
It's because Lucas wasn't involved. One thing that guy knew is how music helps tell a better story and told Williams exactly what he needed. I doubt JJ even spoke to him.
>>64333158
No one who actually understands and appreciates music respects rap
>>64333216
That saying doesn't apply to this scenario because the quality is already good, and the grevience is with the "borrowing" of notes.
>>64333266
Eh the tune itself is okay (although plagiarised because John Williams) but then it really just meanders around before repeating some other riffs from other films he's scored.

>>64320558
>Duel of the Fates
>not the droid invasion
>>64320558
THANK YOU!
What the fuck happened? He didn't even make one memorable song, even the Prequels had great new music, TFA has nothing to remember except scores from the OT.
>>64333786
This is the dumbest meme. They were not terrible films. Hayden Christianson just sucked and that was 90% of the hate. Replace him with Harrison Ford and suddenly it's a GOAT trilogy.
>>64333843
He watched TFA and realized it was capeshit garbage and phoned it in. Easy.
>>64333844
They are mostly unwatchable. No drama, no tension, awful CGI and """comedy""", dull political shit that doesn't even make sense let alone ADD to the story.
>>64333889
>let alone ADD to the story.
>ADD
Interesting you would use that term. Seems to sum up your brain.
>>64333844
No you autistic flidd, nobody could act that godawful dialog, look at natalie portman, who is usually great. The cinematography and directing was horrendous, just people sitting on sofas, shot reverse shot. Lucas sat on his ass, handed the actors a horrible script and let them get on with it. Not to mention the overused, shitty and unecassey CGI, and boring characters. Vader became a whiny freak and yoda became a boring old cunt who abducted kids, he didn't even talk in the same pattern as he did in the OT. They were cashgrabs, plain and simple. The music was the only good part, and the designs, two things Lucas wasn't involved in.
>>64333934
And anyone who actually thinks the prequels are good films must have the mental age of an 8 year old.
>>64333974
Meming hard. Great action sequences. Very well-told story and explaining the politics of the universe. New planets, weapons, craft, lore, etc. Awesome acting from some, poor acting from others. Obi-Wan was amazing. Memorable villains like Maul, Dooku, and Grievous. Amazing battle scenes. Emotional moments that give chills like Order 66. Amazing duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin.
TFA was a cashgrab. The prequels was Lucas taking a chance with whole new worlds.
Fuck off. I won't even call you a Disney shill, I'll just call you an idiot. If you didn't enjoy the prequels then you are just dense.
>>64332797
>>64333266

>Why are we recording the music for all three films right away, JJ?
>>64334035
>great action
Yes, tensionless boring fights. Oh look battle droids, good thing they pose no threat whatsoever. Oh look a light saber fight. It's just people flipping about with no clear winner until the very end.
>well told story
All it did was fill in gaps from the OT, so it's already unoriginal. And how was it well told? It felt disjointed as fuck.
>new lore
Doesn't make a good movie at all. I'll admit ep 7 was unoriginal as fuck but as a movie it's of better quality.
>awesome acting
There was non. Ewan stood out, but it still wasn't execellent, just better than all the others.
>memorable villains
Maul had no personality whatsoever. He looked cool, that's it. Dooku was conflicted as to light/dark at the start of 2 but that was forgotten about 5 minutes after he's introduced, and then he's just another generic villain. And grevious was a pathetic coward who coughed a lot.
>emotional moments
Order 66 isn't emotional at all. You don't feel a connection to any of the jedi because their order is made to look weird and sterile in the first place, and secondly because we don't see clones kill anyone we care about. Oh no, not background alien #4! There was no looks of betrayal of any emotion conveyed except in the music.
>anakin and obis duel
Again just retarded swinging sabers with neither opponent winning or losing until the end. No tension or damage done to either of them until the cop out high ground ending. And then the stupid shit like swinging on ropes and standing on floating robots.
I don't like episode 7, but it's of far better quality than the prequels. I know a lot of hard work went into the designs, but George can't direct or write.
>>64334035
>Very well-told story and explaining the politics of the universe
>>64323106
You wouldn't be saying that if you realized how much Hollywood hates real composers unless they have a huge name behind them like Spielberg or Lucas. Most of the composers now are Hans Zimmer wannabes. Complete hacks who wouldn't know how to theme their scores even if Richard fucking Wagner was standing right behind them with sheet music.
Film scores used to mean something. Before film they would perform arias, and the music was just accompaniment for the performers on stage. Now by carrying a theme throughout our scores we can close our eyes and know what the film is portraying on screen. Blindfold yourself and watch Star Wars. You will know who is on screen based on the theme, or motive. Sometimes they will blend two themes together, the tone portraying the state of affairs the two characters may be in. Even Boba Fett has a theme that is seamlessly blended into the score, giving the viewer a sense of uneasiness as one of our heroes is whisked away in carbonite.
Film scores used to fucking meeeeeaaaan somethiiiiing goddamniiiiit

>VII is better than VI
Don't trust this meme. There's not a single memorable moment. It's only better than II because its just boring and not painful.
>>64336339
There were plenty memorable moments, even simple moments like Poe and Finn escaping were memorable and very well done. /tv/ is literally cancer atm.

>>64320838
I really love Kylo Ren's theme
Williams didn't do too bad a job, but the movie didn't have anything particularly new to offer that warranted a vastly new theme. The space battle is pretty low key, the saber battles are between amateurs, there's no real call for a "Duel of Fates" or "Across the Stars" love theme.
I thought the leitmotif use was pretty weak, but after listening to the tracks on youtube that seems to be less a problem with the music and more the director and sound editor not using them as strongly as Lucas did.

Why wasn't the track on the FYC promo, "The Resistance", on the soundtrack? Goddamn, it's so good.
>>64329204
I always found Anakin's Betrayal the saddest fucking song in the entire saga. Holy shit it's so depressingly beautiful
>>64336589
Padmes rumination, Anakins betrayals and Anakins Dark Deed are so fucking good back to back.
>>64336455
I mostly agree. However, March of the Resistance made the X-Wings on the Lake scene.

I honestly can't recall any new piece of music playing during the entire movie. I recognized Binary Sunset but beyond that nothing, just something that sounded fairly generic and star warsy
I recognized Rey's theme because it was so obvious when it played, but it didn't stand out to me like any of Anakin's themes for example. Just shit editing overall, the same kind of hackjob they do for Marvel movies and the same shit that happened with the Hobbit movies
YOU DON'T HEAR SHIT LIKE THIS ANYMORE

Between the actual scene, and the use it got in games like Shadows of the Empire and Rogue Squadron, this was always one of my favorites.
The Jedi Steps really gives me hope, it was like something straight out of an unreleased KotOR game
>>64337460
Yeah I got that vibe too, it has this "mysticism" behind it, it starts out with a kinda mysterious tone and changes into something powerful that foreshadows something big. There aren't any tracks like this in any of the movies.
>>64329505
>Star Wars video game music, KOTOR at that, is some of the worst as well.
Okay, Why?

They didn't use the LSO because J.J's editing process is different, and he didn't want to fly back to London after spending nearly half a year there already.

Maybe Williams is trying to tell us something about the Resistance.
Jedi steps for TFA
I haven't watched the prequels in a very long time so I won't say the soundtrack is the worst, but It's definitively below average. There's nothing bad, some good tracks here or there, but nothing comparable to those in the OT or even some in the prequels.
Don't get the love for Rey's theme, It's completely and utterly boring and nothing like any of the other memorable Star Wars themes.
Having seen the movies 3 times, I can safely say the best and most memorable themes are the ones associated with Kylo Ren.

GOAT TRACK

>he doesn't listen to modern
>>64328908
This was originally composed for The Empire Strikes Back but the motif never made it into the final cut of the film.
>>64320558
John's nearly 90 and spent most of his life producing so many amazing scores for some of the most memorable movies of the past forty-fifty years. He probably came out of retirement just because it wouldn't be a real Star Wars without a Williams soundtrack. Just like Peter Mayhew "played" Chewbacca in TFA but was probably only in the suit for five minutes as a symbolic thing, since the poor bloke can barely walk any more. Williams just came back as a token of respect and gratefulness to one of the main movies that made him the most well-known soundtrack composer. If they did an OST without him and he was still alive, it just wouldn't be right, since Williams and Star Wars are inseparable. This was probably his last time with his series, and probably any major blockbuster, so give him a break, he doesn't have much time left and he's done so much for movies already, he deserves a rest.
Why are half the songs in episode VII named after Rey?
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwNpmpBC-t0&index=19&list=PLmm8bWhO3Zkx0HtBhQrXBVaPVl11E62tX
One of the better tracks in TFA, in my opinion. The build up toHan's deathwas nicely done.
>>64336160
4, 5, 6, then go see 7 in the cinemas I suppose. If you really, really want to see the prequels out of curiosity or masochism then go ahead but they're not necessary really. just watch the prequels to understand why everyone hates the, because you won't get much else out of them.

Literally who? Ep II has literally nothing of note other than the shit that sounded like the Imperial March.
>>64321542
I disagree
>>64320558
Yeah the music wasn't as good as in the other movies. Rey's theme and and Jedi Steps are nice I guess but I really liked The Starkiller that was played when the planets were blown up by the laser.
>>64323570
It's its own track as well by the name of The Final Duel/Into the Death Star
Honestly it might be my favourite piece of Star Wars music just for the part where Luke gives in and fights Vader

Blame the director.
John Williams has never made a bad composition.
Its JJ that fucked it up. That or John just didn't give a ssit and phoned in some shit because who the fuck cares at this point. George knew how to talk with John. JJ didn't.
