Were it not “Burning Homestead” from ANH, it’d be totally appropriate to harken back to triumphant music as Rey first harnesses the Force. You’re right about that. I think it’s the best option available, and it works in the moment.
I’ve got a more jammed up week than usual ahead of me but I’m hoping to get a final workprint out soon, which will serve as a sync-locked reference as the final elements are finished up and trickle in. I’ll have to find time at some point to do a commentary.
One thing someone could do that would help a lot… would be to generate a list of everyone who has posted in this thread. I hate to ask, and it might just be worth it not to out together such a list this time because there are dramatically more posts than there were for TFA:R and TLJ:L.
