i got to disagree with kristian about the score. i thought it was just as good as the force awakens, though neither are as memorable as OT or PT scores. But that is ok.
it was jarring in a couple places but otherwise pretty good.
Grown on me a lot with subsequent viewings. Check out the latest Star Wars Oxygen podcast that starts dissecting it.
Listen to the Empirial Suite; it’s my favorite.
YES! favorite track. Been stuck in my head, and i even learned to play it on guitar lol.
Great!
I’m sure I’m one of the few who agrees with Kristian. Listening to the music by itself, it isn’t bad but for a Star Wars movie it didn’t connect like it should. I will say the score gets better throughout the movie but the beginning is pretty rough. The music at the title intro just flat out stinks to me though. It seemed more suited for Galaxy Quest. A lot the music in some places sounded out of place or reworked samples from other scores that he did. I like a lot of the past stuff Giacchino has done (Star Trek, Medal of Honor, Inside Out) and I can’t blame him for having four weeks to compose it. I hope he gets another chance to score a Star Wars film.
For some reason, the score for this movie, in some themes and passages, for brought to mind the score for “Attack if the Clones”, which in itself was not to bad of a score.
Rey’s theme alone is better and more memorable than anything on the Rogue soundtrack. I was humming it all day after leaving the theater something I could not do for this soundtrack.
People were saying exactly that about the TFA soundtrack a year ago.
I wasn’t.
Not all batmen
In general, Chirrut hit the troopers in the soft parts of their armor, which would cause injury to their joints and cause them to fall. Also, he uses one as a shield as the other troopers shoot at him. Yes, there were a few shots to the helmet that were a bit of stretch, but overall I bought the scene.
Is no one going to bring up the stormies being killed by Ewoks in Episode VI?
I felt nothing watching The Force Awakens. Looked like a series of disjointed scenes, each ending before it was possible to get involved in. Some performances were also very poor (Gleeson and Ridley). When asked to comment on his fellow actors, Ford only praised Driver. Rogue One at least felt like a cohesive film, where your only avenue of getting to know these characters is how they cope with the extraordinary circumstances they find themselves in – which helped it to flow. The cast was also a cut above. Was genuinely shocked by how bad TFA was and how good R1 is.
Cool story.
It’s about time Jon Schnepp made an appearance on Jedi Council. Clearly a great guy plus he keeps his ego in check. Kudos Mr Schnepp.
