Again - if you choose to describe HOURS of new music never before released as “meaningless” because three of the 9 films will have that music synced to the 4K cuts, that’s your choice, but I don’t understand describing John Williams’ Star Wars music as “meaningless” in any context, really. It obviously has some value otherwise you wouldn’t be implying that you’ll just steal it once it’s pirated online anyway.
My hypothetically choosing to buy a hypothetical set with Isolated Scores of John Williams’ compositions isn’t encouraging Disney to bury the originals. And as has been stated before - the idea they’re going to be encouraged or discouraged by anything we do at this point is pretty silly.
As an aside: I’m getting the sense people here might honestly believe all the music in the OT was presented exactly as Williams composed it and it wasn’t changed until 1997? That’s very much not true. And further - a LOT of the music we have gotten from the OT we only got thanks to the SE being released in theaters. Before that, some of it saw official release in 1993, but up until that release, all we had were the original album releases.
There is still a LOT of Star Wars music we haven’t heard outside of their placement in the films, and if there’s an extra that allows us to hear it, that’s a worthwhile extra, to me.
I remember being fascinated by a lot of the unused music from ESB for a long time.
The unused bit from ROTJ i like with the synth and ryhthm I think it is for the Chicken Walkers or AT-ST’s
Something I pondered about Star Wars for quite a time was if the force theme was meant to play as they fly towards Yavin IV in the falcon… The Radio Drama places that music there and it always felt like it needed a bit of music but was never there.
The Other bit from Star wars is that abrupt cut just as the falcon flys away from the death star just cuts off in a weird way. I have wondered if the falcon was meant to go straight past the camera extending that shot or if it was something sort of sound effects related always just a bit abrupt and never really happens in the film at all apart from then. Be interesting how that bit would sound without sound effects.
