Solo is a very fine swashbuckling score. Like Giacchino with his own SW score, I only wish Powell could have made it without any OT theme references. But his own material, somewhere between Pan and How to train your dragon, is excellent.
Some SW movies are great, others are bad, others are in the middle. But when it comes to the scores, I love all of them. Don’t know how I would rank them, but it would be something like that:
- Masterpiece: ANH/TESB/ROTJ
- Almost perfect: TPM/ROTS
- Very good: ATOC/TFA/TLJ/R1/Solo
