All I know is that Alexandre Desplat is doing the score. The only work of his that I can recall without looking up is The Grand Budapest Hotel. I actually loved that score, but that was all central European folk music, so there’s no way that’s any indication of what his Star Wars will sound like.
He was brought in to replace John Williams for the Harry Potter films.
He could be interesting.
Nobody has ever seen a Star Wars movie without a John Williams score so I guess this is a first for us all! We’ll have to wait an see. No doubt opinions will be mixed.
I for one can’t imagine it ‘feeling like star wars’ without the music, but I’m game to give it a go.
