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!”
You know, I never had a problem with the Yoda music in this scene. But re-watching the current iteration of the “day to night” Ahch-To scene, I actually agree with you on just finishing out the TROS theme instead.
JEDIT: Just saw that Hal vetoed this. Lmao. Oh well.
Yeah, it definitely feels very abrupt and awkward when you listen for it. The music just…changes. No transition, no nothing.
It’s taking a scene that should be about Rey moving forward, and making it all about Rey(‘s Master(‘s Master’s)) past. Like…oof. Ah well. It’s not the first time I’ve been overruled on this film.
And MR, I definitely want to check out how you get Lando and Leia together. That sounds amazing!
