I’d really love to change the end music. JJ seems to play the whole soundtrack in the last 40 minutes and doesn’t know who’s theme goes with what.

The main new theme of the soundtrack (aptly titled Rise of Skywalker) is arguably its best and it really works during the triumphant Star Destroyers falling montage at the end, and during the final scene with Rey, Finn and Poe, so I wouldn’t change that particular track.

It’s the rest of the score during the celebrations on Ajan Kloss, however, the one that’s all over the place. Why use Yoda’s theme? Luke and Leia’s theme? They’re awesome pieces of music in their own right, but a great part of the appeal of Williams’s themes is the association between the actual music and the character/place it represents, otherwise they lose their meaning and become trivial.

I don’t see any issues with Yoda in jonh’s ghosts scene. For me it’s perfect the way it is.

Yeah, Luke & Leia’s theme over Lando and his daughter was off too. I’ve changed the ending significantly to fit that piece and made it second to last scene a very mixed emotional feel. I do think the score works well when Poe, Rey and Finn meet, I just seem to feel very aware of the changing tracks nearer the end of the film.

This guy made some great points https://youtu.be/L_8-dWSLDWI
