This is as good a time as any to ask. Could someone please tell me where the music that starts at about 0:41 in this tv spot is from?
I’m almost certain it’s not in the movie itself, if it’s even from the TFA score at all. I never bought the album so if it’s on there I wouldn’t know.
Those six seconds or so of music have been driving me crazy ever since I saw this preview during the “Shondathon” on abc that week. This ended up being the very first time we heard any of John Williams’ compositions for the movie.
Almost certainly composed for trailers/spots. You’ll notice it sounds somewhat similar to the music from the second teaser (and has the same Yoda and the Force bit at the end). Well that music was composed specifically for the second teaser by someone other than Williams. Probably the same thing here.
