With all trailers wanting to distinguish themselves from each other, you'd think a different approach to trailer music would be applied by now, such as total silence. Imagine being bombarded in a theater by so much flatulent dubstep, and then greeted by a completely laconic two minutes. Even A Quiet Place couldn't achieve that, and wasn't that the whole point of its conceit?
It's as if brickwalled-dubstepping everything is shorthand for "you kids love this, right?". But when it's used for Cold War/John Le Carre trailers, I get eyebrow seizures. It's the Buzz Bunny of music.
It recast a MAJOR character and the production troubles are legendary now.
It's my suspicion that Disney is litmus testing the audience into accepting a new Indiana Jones for their upcoming re-whatever. As "fans" clash with "industry insiders", the world will keep spinning... SOMEHOW.
I will admit that "I have a good feeling about this" made me laugh.
It is indeed the first clip released with Powell's music. And it sounds great!
Eh what? If this is how the whole score is going to pan out, then why not hire a music editor to edit the Maestros SW music into the film? Really feel for Powell.
The actor who plays Solo is pretty good in other things. In Hail, Caesar! he's brilliant and has fantastic comic timing.
I think the age joke here was killed by everything that's going on around it; music, editing. Zero impact
I didn't think the music necessarily fit this short clip other than just being "remember the asteroid scene in Empire" (will have to see the film to judge properly, though).
"We definitely do." She's not a great actress but give her a chance.
Can we talk about the real elephant in the room? And it's not the new/old Falcons nose cone, but the fact that it has five landing legs! Then ten years later it has three landing legs, then a year or so later back to five landing legs!

So you didn't notice Powell's completely new theme for Chewie in between the Williams parts, then?

The Asteroid field theme from Empire is completely unnecessary and frankly a distraction. Powell couldn't written a great original score for the film.

How is it a distraction? Let us enjoy this one thing.
And this has been a 30 second clip. Don’t think you’ve heard enough to know Powell hasn’t written a great score for this.
Yep we've heard 30 seconds from a score likely running 90+ minutes. No way for anyone here to make a definite judgement at this point. Really. Come on. Complaining about that 30 seconds just means you're looking for something to whine about
What I heard sounds fine, and given Powell's chops, my guess is the score will work . It's too early to be certain but I'm hopeful and optimistic.
Anyone moaning about the use of the Asteroid Field theme here just about sums us up. It's appearance in this sequence is probably geared towards the people in the world who can vaguely recall that the previous STAR WARS films HAD music in them. They will figure if anyone gets the connection, then whoop-de, it was a fantastic piece of spotting.
Star Wars music? In a Star Wars score? Preposterous!
I’m all in favour of using pre-existing themes / leitmotifs for characters in films, however the Asteroid Field is not a theme / leitmotif. It was written for a specific part of the Empire Strikes Back that has no connection to what we’ve seen in the clip other than the Falcon flying. In other words it is not the Falcon theme. If you are going to include the music from Asteroid Field, then why not include the Forest Battle of Duel of the Fates into action scenes in future films? Powell is, along with the Maestro, one of favourite composers, so it’s just disheartening to hear less of Powell’s voice (Yes I know it’s a couple of seconds in a 30 odd second clip).
