Welp, time for me to buy a copy of the movie from Amazon so I can get started.

Going back to my decision to replace all the music in the film, I thought I’d accompany this piece from a Quentin Tarantino interview about my decision.

It skips to the part of the interview I’m talking about.

Music is supposed to drive the film and really build a connection with the scene it accompanies. With The Force Awakens, I think this is universally agreed on, while the soundtrack itself isn’t bad, or even it’s pretty good, it’s use in the film is awful. It’s hardly audible. It’s not present in the movie at all. There isn’t one scene in the film where the music really helps it. It’s a bland movie because of it’s mis-use of it’s otherwise pretty good score. That’s why I want to go forth with making my own sound mix. I could just upscale the sound of the already existing score, but the way the score is being used already doesn’t work. The music just doesn’t fit with what happens in the movie. The goal here in my edit, which I am hoping a lot of people enjoy, which is why I’m sharing the project, is the newly added music is to really help drive tense action sequences or serious dramatic moments.
