Although I approve of the creation of this thread, that Sideways video sucks. He misunderstands many key parts of the Star Wars scores, is completely clueless as to how themes are used in movies, and has an attitude like a whiny toddler throughout. His hate for the sequel trilogy is clearly blinding him to Williams’ musical genius in the new movies.
A lot of his points land for me, especially the “lifting X-Wings out of water” theme, haha.
Back on track though, I do feel like the scores have some flaws. For one, I was disappointed that the “Anthem of Evil” theme wasn’t featured much in the movie. It got a whole concert arrangement on the soundtrack, but only appeared three times in the entire movie. So maybe it could be added to some scenes featuring the villains, in order to establish it as a theme for Palpatine and Kylo’s collaboration? I’m not sure how I would implement it, just a thought.
I’m not familiar with the track on its own, which scenes does it appear in, and where do you think it could fit?
