I'm hearing from JWFan that you can only access the isolated score on Movies Anywhere and that other devices with your Amazon account will not have it. Can anyone confirm?
Its an exlcusive feature to Movies Anywhere, but that doesn't mean you have to visit the moviesanywhere.com website on a computer to listen to the track. There's a Movie Anywhere app for other devices that you launch, connect your digital copy of the film to, and then play the track.

So....anyone actually listen to the isolated TLJ score?
Thoughts, comments, warnings, praise??
It's neat, like many isolated scores. The "cut and paste" nature of many of the pre-existing themes is even more glaring when all other sound is stripped away. This is the first time I've ever thought that Williams had help with a score, as there are so many moments where it feels like a junior staffer took Williams' scene-specific arrangements from The Force Awakens and just taped them into the sheet music for The Last Jedi.

I enjoyed hearing it. Yes, there are a few cues that meander, and a few more that are too short to have much impact. But I actually found most of the interpolations of the many old themes to be more skillfully done than I'd realized, the exceptions being the Princess Leia theme during her free space flight and the Yoda theme for his scene (which are, yes, more of less just dropped in).
Honestly, these direct quotes really wouldn't need a junior staffer so much as a copyist. (It's also quite likely that Rian Johnson temped the scenes with the original recordings, and cut the visuals to that music, so it made sense to keep it as is.)

Yes, thank you for fact checking my opinion with the actual job titles that would have been necessary to complete these tasks in the real world. I was trying to say that literally anyone who can read music could have flown in those bits (to follow the temp, yes) because they were the exact sections from the previous score and featured little to no additions.

I had no problem with any of the reuse of themes in the film, I thought it all worked incredibly well both in the film and on album. The two main examples mentioned above, the Princess Leia scene and the Yoda scene, are particularly interesting as the music reprised in each scene note for note are actually from the two characters' theme suites, not music from within the earlier scores themselves. To hear both themes showcased so prominently in their concert arrangements as part of the film score proper was a real thrill for me when I first saw the film in the cinema.
