I've been SUPER busy these days...
But I do have SOME work to share after all this time.

Basically, I'm focusing on something that I've boiled down to being one of the most important big changes I'm doing: using lots of ANH music.

I love the RotS soundtrack, but it's too much like I and II, and not nearly enough like IV.
Naturally, if the film looks, walks, and talks like a prequel, we'll always group it with the prequels. But I think the Star Wars films ought to be looked at as pairs.

I and II are a pair.
III and IV are a pair.
V and VI are a pair.

You can change the editing style and the visuals all you want, but RotS is not going to feel like A New Hope unless they share similar musical cues. A New Hope has very distinct cues, but most of them are ONLY heard in A New Hope - something that doesn't really happen in the other Star Wars films. All the scores have unique cues, but there is really only one in ANH that persisted. So why does RotS sound more like films that come AFTER ANH, but not like ANH itself? Well - I'd love to fix that.
