after reading this in OP’s link, I stopped reading the article. Saying Empire was banally directed and that John Williams’ scores are bad basically gives you the prefect picture of the character writing this article in the first place, a moron with no idea about film making or music, who has absolutely no business being a critic of either.
I don’t necessarily agree with what he wrote, but IIRC what he was trying to say is that the original Star Wars was bold in its direction, while TESB and ROTJ were more traditional in their style. He didn’t say William’s scores are bad, but that they want to drag the viewer into the movie “by force”, to get them emotionally involved and close to the characters, something he doesn’t like. I think he means, for example, the way the score is used during the Death Star assault.
