You are probably right. I guess i am guilty of Prequel bashing Again.
Maybe if Kiner worked on Real Star Wars and did not ruin a classic theme i would give him a chance.
Again i don't think he is a horrible artist i just think he is not the Epical feel of Star Wars. He is just the guy they needed for a childrens cartoon however. That is the problem the Movie was advertised as a movie that was animated star wars that could be another episode up there with 1-6. Instead it was a proof of concept that they used to sell the show to the networks and was sold as a standalone film to make a buck.
Who would ever Accuse Lucas and Warners of False Advertising,lol .
I can sort of feel the matinee serial vibe for his clone wars music perhaps he should score the new Flash Gordon movie.
Oh by the way his Wing Commander score was better than that awful movie deserved. Though he had help from the David Arnold who scored Stargate the movie, and Independence Day. They said Kiner would follow him in the biz with epic movie scores too bad he got shit on for being involved in a crap film.
He gets respect for his Sg-1 music which of course adapted Arnolds score for the small screen.
In a way i am almost happy and glad that he is making the music his own and not Copying williams. There are too many artists who copy rather than create something different and new.
The music is different but not bad in fact in like the clone wars music for the movie and the series. Only the Opening theme gets on my nerves, but i guess i can get used to it.
The funny thing is why does the music sometimes remind me of jungle music or tarzan or something.
