Just finished listening to this INCREDIBLE podcast episode about the score of Rogue one, done by Michael Giacchino. It REALLY delves into DEEP ANALYSIS of the different tracks and their meanings and connections to the rest of the saga.
Here’s a link to it. Any film soundtrack/score junkies will EAT THIS UP! 😉

I remember Rey’s Theme from TFA and that’s literally it. And I saw it maybe five times in theaters and listened through the soundtrack a few times. To be honest, I left the theater wondering if it had even been scored in the same way as the OT. Music felt much less like a part of the film for TFA (whereas it’s an essential part of the OT).
I remember a lot more of the music from Rogue One. I also listened to this podcast at the behest of Tobar and gained an even larger appreciation for it.
<_<
But yeah, it’s definitely worth posting again because it really sheds a whole new light on the score and the throughlines into Star Wars.
