I really like the music in the trailer for when the new bad guy steps through the forest and ignites his saber.

I'm *really* hoping this will be the game changer to the way film music is conceived, as much as the original Star Wars was in 1977.
I don't mean to be negative, but it won't be. In 1977, "Star Wars" captured people's imagination in a way they completely didn't expect, and the score surprised audiences with music that was unapologetically old fashioned juxtaposed against visuals that were anything but.
Nothing about "The Force Awakens" will be unexpected in the way that was. (I'm not mocking the film, which I hope will be terrific.) If and when a film scoring game changer comes out, it will come out of left field, not straight down the middle.
My thoughts exactly.
I understand that people are excited and WHY people are excited - but come on, this is the "same old, same old" again.

Well, I've really enjoyed the music Williams has been writing in the 2010s so I think SW7's score will be pretty good. Game changing? Nah, but it doesn't need to be.

I think Tin Tin is a good indicator of Williams's ability to channel his 80s adventure style still. Not that we won't necessarily get more modern Williams too, but I suspect (hope) the films will be much closer to the OT than the PT.

Tintin. Not Tin Tin or TinTin.
It's "Tintin".

I think the film and score will be much closer to the original trilogy than the prequel trilogy, for numerous reasons.

I think Episode 7 will be directed in a similar style to JJ's two Star Trek films, with that kind of pacing and structure - Though with a much more adventurous and lighthearted tone, probably.
It's interesting that he wasn't asked back for Episode 8 or any of the spinoffs - The Star Wars films coming in 2016 through 2019 all have different writers and directors attached already.
Makes you wonder what JJ's next project after Ep 7 is finished will be, and if Giacchino will score it.

I'm sure it was Abrams who didn't want to commit to more than one film. He likes being free to do his own thing sometimes (ie. Super 8).
I agree that Tintin has some Harry Potterish bits too, but to me a lot of it feels like Indiana Jones, film and score. Maybe Last Crusade more than Raiders but still...

I listened to Tin Tin again just recently and I don't know that I'd agree that Tin Tin sounds like his 80's adventure style. Tin Tin sounded more to me like an offshoot of Harry Potter. I appreciated Tin Tin more than I liked Tin Tin. Tin Tin has infectious energy but Tin Tin didn't connect with me emotionally like his earlier output that did not sound like Tin Tin. Still, much of Tin Tin was so effortlessly buoyant that I rode Tin Tin's wave of good cheer through a fine listen. I just don't know that I'll remember much of Tin Tin a month from now.
Agreed on your hopes for the future SW films. What's interesting is that the Amblin era proper (by which I mean "80's adventure style") sits squarely between the OT and PT, but Abrams is very much a product of that specific era (SUPER 8). Between the films and the music, I'm very curious to see how this manifests in the final product.
Who knows, maybe it will sound like Tin Tin.
My biggest disappointment with TibTan was that it didn't use the Main Title rhythms as the basis for the action music. The Falcon pursuit (hey, like a Star War!) was pretty much Williams' typical 21st-century action music, and it would have been aided immeasurably by using the jazzier rhythms of the MT. Williams employed staccato, jazzy rhythms within "Anderton's Great Escape" in Minority Report, so I was hoping he would do something similar in Tib Tib. I guess it's asking too much. You can't even get the man through an airport anymore.

Huh. I remember a lot of the Tintin music, a memorable jazzy main title and some great adventure themes. But to each his own.
