Yeah. Old school film composition par excellence as Williams does so well requires having the final edit in front of him to work with.
Yes. It really annoyed me that the exact same musical cue was used in the wipe to credits as TFA. This was the big finale and they just recycled the same recording from TFA. It comes off so lazy.
For what it’s worth I’m pretty sure it’s a new recording. Which actually makes it more inexplicable.
