Michael Giacchino created some of the best music i have heard in star wars, and in so little time too!
The track ‘‘Your father would be proud’’ from Rogue One is perfection. Normally in star wars when big moments happen the music swells, but with the destruction of Scariff, he played it so mournfully & sweet. We felt the sadness, and we felt the rising dread. The track Jyn Erso/Hope Suite just melts my heart. It encapsulates my love for star wars.
I love John William’s work on the Originals & the Prequels, and tracks like Rey’s theme from TFA is beautiful, but his work on the sequel trilogy left alot to be desired.
John Powell did some brilliant work on Solo, his song ‘‘Meet Han’’ felt like it came straight from Knights of the Old Republic 2.
Ludwig Göransson’s work on the Mandalorian i feel is my next sweet spot in the star wars music world. His work on the show is so ballsy, he implements characters themes perfectly but he gave us a theme song that we can literally hum/sing from beginning to end.
