I want to lob two musical changes out to the group for consideration: when Luke lifts the X-Wing, what if we carry through the Rise of Skywalker Theme (which is already playing when Rey pulls the Wayfinder from Kylo’s ship) instead of transitioning to Yoda’s Theme? I get what they’re going for (namely: extremely obvious, hit-you-over-the-head-with-a-mace parallels), but…ehhh. Besides, even ignoring the Yoda disconnect, the Rise of Skywalker Theme is the key theme for this entire movie; and with the new coloring, this is the key scene for the film as well. There’s a lot of significance to pairing the two, instead of…Yoda’s Theme. I think the scene would have a lot more power and carry a lot more weight if we allow it to stand on its own, rather than distracting the audience with, “Hey! Yoda’s Theme!”

The other moment is in the Reunion scene at the end. Why is Luke & Leia’s Theme playing? Where are Luke and Leia? Get that s*** outta there. I was thinking it might be nice to play some of Rose’s Theme, as she sort of represents “The Heart of the Resistance.” Or the Rise of Skywalker Theme again.
