I could be wrong, but while TFA had say three new themes, the only memorable music in TLJ was TIE Fighter Attack from Star Wars… Listening to it now but so far it’s just the old stuff.
I’ve tried a few times since seeing TLJ to think if there were any new memorable themes from TLJ but I can’t actually remember any of the music apart from knowing it borrowed various themes from earlier movies here and there to try and evoke emotion when they wanted it or to help lead you to an expectation so it could then be subverted on you.
Were there actually any new standout themes or even new themes at all? One thing the PT taught me is that no matter how bad a SW movie may get, you could always count on Williams to produce an outstanding score with at least one standout new theme per movie. I am thinking maybe I can’t even get that much out of TLJ this time round, which would be saddening if not even Williams could give me one positive thing to say about TLJ.
