I think Anthem of Evil was used too sparingly in the film. I only really noticed it after a few watches, definitely needs to be emphasised throughout.
Yeah, that’s one of the examples of “great music” I was talking about. I think re-scoring the entire movie using old music is the wrong approach. Instead we should emphasize the music that’s already there, and bring the score more in line with Williams’s intentions.
Yeah I watched Sideways video a couple weeks ago and he explains how TROS really kind of missed the mark on the usually very well-thought out placement of Star Wars.
I mean that video kinda missed the mark in a few ways itself.
I think the most egregious examples of this are:
- Yoda’s theme being used when Luke lifted the X-Wing
That makes perfect sense though, considering the scene it’s mirroring.
- Luke and Leia’s theme used for Lando and Jannah (very weird)
The whole scene is weird.
- Under-representation of Prequel music (my opinion not from Sideways’ video)
I’m not sure if that’s an issue exactly. It’s something that can be changed, but it doesn’t feel like a necessity.
