UPDATE 2! Twitter Buzz: Carrie Fisher Responds to the Latest Mrs. Solo Rumors, John Williams Started Scoring The Force Awakens and More

Carrie FisherSeveral very curious tweets were posted in the last few days, giving us a few possible hints about the upcoming Star Wars movies…

 

 

Rogue One writer Chris Weitz (who took writing duties after Gary Whitta finished the first draft) was looking for some help on Twitter, and sent the following message to the Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson:

 

 

While Mr. Tyson never responded, Weitz got what he needed from Andy Howell, a staff astronomer at LCOGT (aka Copernicus from AICN):    

 

 

It’s nice to see the writer of the movie paying so much attention to the scientific correctness of the story. But let’s not forget that this is Star Wars, and not everything needs to be scientifically explained. 🙂

 

 

UPDATE!

 

Later Neil deGrasse Tyson replied:

 

       

 

Next stop is Dallas and this year’s FanExpo (May 29-31), where Carrie Fisher was a special guest.  

 

 

While Carrie was great and entertaining as always, one of our readers sent us a curious bit about her appearance:  

 

Hello, Just wanted to let you know of a potential TFA spoiler that happened this weekend at Fan Expo in Dallas. Carrie Fisher was in attendance and made a point of signing all her autographs with “Mrs. Solo” underneath her name. While I doubt that many would be surprised at this revelation, it seems to be a bit of confirmation that Leia and Han are or were married. Ben

 

As Carrie mentioned during the panel: “the production company hates me because I think with my mouth so it just comes out”. Could this be another honest slip from the actress? Could be. Until we find out check out these videos with Carrie’s hilarious speech:

 

 

       

 

 

Next is a Tweet by ScorringSession.com, a site dedicated to film music journalism:  

 

 

This news is not surprising, but it’s surreal to know that right now, somewhere in LA, John Williams is scoring a Star Wars movie…     A tweet by the London Symphony Orchestra revealed 2 months ago revealed that they will be recording for 3 months:

 

 

And while we’re discussing Mr. Williams and his score, here’s a post from our message board – The Cantina, in which a person claims to have knowledge on some of the notions of the new themes from The Force Awakens. As always that this with a grain of salt (keep in mind that this post was made before the above tweet):  

 

From my private instructor, who is a good friend of one of the musicians in the orchestra which is recording the soundtrack next week, I have received some interesting info from the score.  

 

Apparently, there is a theme (for a person, place or thing (think Force Theme, Leia’s theme etc.)) that appears throughout the score in three different variations. One is very bold, brave and sort of heroic, one is very mild and careful, and one is dark and written in a minor scale, leaning towards the feeling of Imperial March. The last piece of the score is said to be Luke’s theme, starting small and slowly building up – ending in a grandiose piece with the entire orchestra, before launching off into the familiar End Titles.  

 

They are incredibly close to start recording, and some have received their parts. Of course, they only have codes for names, but my source recognizes much, including the main theme (duh), some of the attack music from the OT, and one interesting detail: Yoda’s theme seem to be included in one of the pieces. This makes wondering if Williams has turned this theme into a “mentor”-theme or “master”-theme?

The crew at the recording studio collects their phones and locks them up for the day, and that they risk prosecution if material (sheet music, pictures, recordings of any kind) is leaked and can be traced back to them.. The film is (for now) only shown on a screen to Mr. Williams as they play, although he had a session with the musicians explaining some of the score.

UPDATE 2!  

 

 

Just a day after the Mrs. Solo rumors hit the web, Carrie Fisher responded on Twitter:   

 

 

 

Now that’s a great clarification. We love you Carrie! 🙂

    June 2015 issue of International Musician magazine:

    “Williams says he plans to continue the use of leitmotifs in the new film. ‘While the majority of the music is also new, there are necessary references to early story lines, which helps create association with the previous films,’ he explains. ‘So the music will look back in spots to the earlier films, but there are also new themes that will be applied in a similar way.'”

    “The last piece of the score is said to be Luke’s theme, starting small and slowly building up – ending in a grandiose piece with the entire orchestra, before launching off into the familiar End Titles.”
    This does rather backup the whole “luke only in it at the end” rumour – I really hope not, but it does sound like there’s a big Luke ‘reveal’ at the end just prior to the credits as previous leaks have posited.

      I doesn’t. By ‘Luke’s Theme’, if they main the Binary Sunset/Force Theme, it is usually cued on emotional moments or revelations-not specifically to Luke’s presence. Watch the original trilogy and you’ll be astounded at how long Luke is on screen where that theme never plays.

      Besides, the source never claims it’s the only time that theme is cued in the film.

        The binary sunset music is “The Force Theme”. “Luke’s Theme” is the main Star Wars theme.

        • June 2, 2015 at 10:42 pm
          Permalink

          Wrong. The main theme is the main theme. Luke’s theme is part of the extended Binary Sunset.

            Well, yes. The point being the ‘source’ obviously isn’t referring to the ‘Main Theme’ crescendoing until the music of the end titles begins, because the music of the end titles IS the Main Theme.

            They probably meant Binary Sunset, which original was thought of as Ben’s Theme but became more assoicated with Luke and The Force.

            Or they meant the Main Theme rendition of Luke being introduced in ANH or the version playing for baby Luke in RotS or any variation on the main theme that can crescendo into the full orchestral version used for the end credits.

            Clearly the source is referring to Luke’s theme, which is the Main Theme.

    This makes since and it’s also hides an interesting fact. From my limited understanding of movie production, scoring is the final piece of the puzzle. They either have the final edit or very close to it at this point. 2-3 months to record and 3-4 months for final mixing and editing puts them right on target for a December release.

    • June 3, 2015 at 4:03 am

      Kathleen Kennedy said the editing should be done by early summer (june) and then the score will be recorded by then. After that, editing the sound into movie and final edits so the final editing should be complete this summer and then they’ll go over the editing again to add anything missing or wrong

    Eh, I wouldn’t say she really spoiled anything. We kinda knew she was married from the ring on her hand in the teaser.

    I love Yoda’s theme, one of my favorite pieces of music ever. I’d be happy to see it become the “mentor’s theme” of sorts.

    Leia Queen not of Naboo? Would be great tho if some references to the PT are made even tho they were slammed yes I know but they are canon after all

      Nah. Even Padme was only Queen of Naboo for TPM. It’s a temporary, elected position. Leia was Princess of Alderaan because she was raised by that planets royal family. She has no real connection to Naboo.

      But you’re right that there will definitely be references to the PT. Maligned or not, they happened. And, hey, they all had a few good moments. We’ll see some nods to them for sure.

    As much as I want to see Luke in full Jedi Master mode in TFA, I think it is a clever plot device (if true) to keep Luke till the very end. If this is Han’s movie then let him have it. I would be overjoyed to know that Episode viii will be Luke’s film. It will keep the fans wanting more to know that the next movie will show Luke in full mentor mode, just like Yoda in Empire. The next film will be something to look forward to even more. Luke could even take Rey, Finn to Dagobah to train them. The possibilities are exciting.

      You could be partially right. However, I think Luke will be In the movie a little more than just the last scene.

  • June 2, 2015 at 11:54 pm

    I’m can’t believe anyone would be happy or ok that Luke would only be in one scene. It is not a clever plot device it is nonsense. Luke is so integral to the story of Star Wars it would just be a cop out.

      It could be setting Luke up as the “Yoda” role for Episode VIII and IX and a more integral role in the films. Luke , or the search for Luke, could be the Macguffin of Episode VII. The “quest” to discover Luke Skywalker giving him an almost legendary status ala Ben Kenobi or Yoda. Luke had his own adventures in IV-VI. People have to remember VII-IX are not Luke or Hans story. It is the new generation of characters Rey, Finn etc. I think Han will be the Ben Kenobi mentor role in VII, and Luke and Leia will have larger roles in Episode VIII and IX.

        The whole it’s ok Luke is only in one scene because he will be in 8 more is still LAME he is so integral to the story and as much as I like Han he is not as integral to the mythos of Star Wars. Also Luke and Han must interact in a scene together anything less than that would be a sore misuse of bringing the old cast back together and to have Luke in only one scene is to spit in the face of every true Star Wars fan and in the face of the Star Wars mythos. If you watch Star Wars in its entirety it reveals that Luke has the potential to rise beyond Yoda and to not see him in action would be LAME

          To see Yoda in action in the PT was lame.

            What Yoda did in the PT has no bearing on excusing Luke being absent from the new movie. He isn’t 3 feet tall so he’d look fine with a lightsaber but people really want to see Luke do things with the force that have never been done before. This needs to be in the movie otherwise it is bs

    Luke Skywalkers theme is the Star Wars main titles theme. When Luke is first introduced at the homestead, and also the Death Star chasm swing scene, listen for Luke Skywalkers theme. Anything “mystical” in Star Wars is often in the films associated with the “Force theme”- the binary sunset Luke looking to the future, Ben Kenobis introduction, Ben Kenobis sacrifice to inspire Luke to pursue being a Jedi, etc.

  • June 3, 2015 at 3:43 am

    There is no real ‘Luke’s Theme’, people often think it’s The Force Theme, but it isn’t. In A New Hope, it was actually the main Star Wars theme that was attributed to Luke, but as more and more films happened, it turned into the heroic theme. So, not sure if this info about the score is true, or if it is, they’re not very well informed.

    Possible spoiler, do not read on if that bothers you.

    If what I read the other day is seriously the entire film Plot Summary, then I will be partly disappointed, because it would have not been about Luke hardly at all. In fact, Luke would barely be in the film, and that kind of ticks me off.

    The main theme is indeed also Luke’s theme. Recall when in the OT ” A new hope” when we first see Luke, aunt beru is calling out his name and we hear a soft gentle version of the main theme, it’s Luke’s que signature theme moment. Then again when we see Luke above the Sarlac pit in return of the Jedi we see Luke do his amazing Jedi somersault and the main theme is blaring out triumphantly Announcing Luke. The binary sunset theme is the force/Jedi theme. It is meant to evoke a sense of awe and wonder, and has many iterations and variations throughout the entire saga. Triumphant, or melancholic, at times soaring and epic.

    Stop with the Carrie snark. I’ve met her and I’ve also seen her on stage. She’s incredibly funny and very smart and she definitely goes off on tangents but that’s what is so damn cute about her. Yes, a moderator would have kept her more focused, but obviously there are a lot of fans who appreciate her just as she is.
