Sequel Trilogy Rescoring Ideas Thread — Page 4

Lately I’ve been experimenting with putting Holst’s “Mars - The Bringer of War” in TROS’ finale; it’s not technically a > Star Wars piece, but it had a lot of influence on A New Hope’s soundtrack, so using it here might make it feel like it’s come full circle.
Here it is as Rey is standing up to Palpatine:

Ngl, reminds me more of Murray Gold than John Williams, but still not totally off-base. Still, of all the places you could possibly remove the Force theme from, this feels like the wrong one. It works well enough here, though.

A poor fit imo, but then again, I really like The Spark.

I don’t feel the resemblance is that strong or really at all, but that’s just my take. It’s also that that Samuel Kim Mando music doesn’t sound like Williams Star Wars.

I feel like Across the Stars is secretly lightsaber fight music (warning: extremely half-baked mockup). I’m not sure this is a feasible rescore though; you’d probably have to seriously butcher together bits of various renditions of AtS and re-time the sequence to get them to fit together. Plus, it’s a very on-the-nose needle drop.

Whoa.

Eh, I don’t think we should go overboard with Across the Stars. It’s really Anakin and Padme’s love theme.
