It's one month until the score is released for the new Star Wars. WE ARE EXCITED!
We know a few things, but not much. John Williams is back and had a few comments in a Vanity Fair Interview.
“There are some scenes where we do make reference to earlier thematic pieces. We haven’t done it yet, but we’re planning to do it. It’s something that I think will seem very natural and right in the moments for which we’ve chosen to do these kinds of quotes. There aren’t many of them, but there are a few that I think are important and will seem very much a part of the fabric of the piece in a positive and constructive way.”
One key difference from the past recording of Star Wars is they used a studio orchestra instead of the London Symphony. We're sure it will be great, but there was something great about the marriage between this franchise and the London sound. The few precious bits we get to hear in the trailer sound great. They're clearly new, but familiar at the same time.
The score for this newest Star Wars installment is set to be released December 18. Will you buy it? Let us know in the comments.
