I enjoyed the final episode and the music. I hope that it gets a release.

Since I was a kid, I thought the Rebel Theme was the Tie Fighter Attack Theme. It literately starts when the Tie fighters begin shooting on the MF and it has a menacing beat to it. I hated it's use in Return of the Jedi as a heroic theme. So I can never except it as the Rebel Theme. If it was meant to be the Rebel Theme it was one of Williams very rare missteps.


In the LP liner notes he labelled the theme "The Rebel Spaceship Fanfare", which is first heard during the Rebel Blockade Runner right after the title crawl!

After like ten mostly identical statements of the Obi-Wan theme in the finale, I was thoroughly sick of it. I'm not really sure what went wrong here. It was dying for development, for clever variations but instead, it was just beaten into the ground.

The needle drop inclusions of legacy themes in the final episode also felt jarring to me, after so much time not bothering to use them. They should have been used throughout. And Holt's music for the final dual was sorely lacking in both power (despite a choir) and a catchy theme.

Such a disappointment, this show. And its music.

Sounds like more nostalgia bait. Disney folks just don't understand the IP nor do they have any love for it.

Solium, you keep bringing up that the people doing these either "don't love" or "hate" this property. Except I know people involved in these shows (both "Mandalorian" and "Obi-Wan," as writers and directors), and they are passionate, die-hard Star Wars fans and have been for many years.

Of course this doesn't mean you have to like a single choice they've made. But I can tell you for a fact that your assumptions about their feelings toward the property are flat-out wrong.

You don’t really want to say that you understand and love the „IP“ better, do you?

You can play up to 45 seconds of each track here.

I think they included some Holt cues that didn't appear in the show and left off some Ross cues that did. It does confirm that the flashback scenes and the final fight with Vader were scored by Ross.

I know getting run thru with a lightsaber is lethal. I know two adults and a kid can't fit in the backseat of a snowspeeder cockpit. I know a tracking device doesn't reprogram robots...

I haven't watched the last episode yet, but I do think it's gotten slightly better with each passing episode, unlike MANDO & BOBA, which got progressively worse for me.
Ep5 was the strongest, despite some unintentionally hilarious scenes (ANY TIME angsty girl shouts an order at the stormtroopers...the troopers and rebels advancing towards each other SO CLOSELY while shooting that they were virtually saying Excuse Me to shoot past each other...Vader waving the ship down!!! (and the OTHER ONE sneaking off right next door!! WTF).
It's only gotten better cos I've remembered how sh!t older SW stuff is too.

"Shit"?

Well, hyperbole is the internet's biggest currency.

I literately started to laugh out loud at that point.

I've had my criticisms of this series, but the final episode was a real winner and everything I wanted it to be. They saved the best one for last.

The association of the Rebel fanfare with the Millenium Falcon was there from the very beginning, and kept relatively consistent in the original trilogy. Williams' reprise of it in the sequel trilogy is in keeping with how he represented the ship in the past.

However…

It is also a theme that is often heard when the heroes are threatened, so it makes sense that it could be associated more with the antagonists, and it was certainly used thus in the NPR radio show.

Well, that's me and Disney Star Wars done.
I didn't like Rogue One or its characters at all, so won't be interested in Andor.
And I've got zero interest in that female Jedi with the snake on her head.
And Obi Wan was a crushing disappointment overall.
There is zero tension or excitement to be had watching duels and shootouts - in the pitch dark - between characters WE KNOW will go on to live until the feature film comes along.
There's absolutely no peril or danger.
Add terrible scripts, awful plotting and bad acting and it's a complete bust to me.
Once again, even the new baddies are just sad, neglected wannabe goodies. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
A new John Williams theme and some classic character theme quotes will only cover over so much.
Move Along...Move Along.

You won’t return to voice your dislike for the next shows and scores?

I won't be able to, cos I won't have seen them.
I might listen to some score tracks on YouTube or Spotify to hear what they sound like.
If that's okay with you?

Yep, me too. Perfectly expressed my opinions. Have no interest in Andor or snake head Jedi lady. I might watch reviews for a good laugh but have zero interest in watching these shows.
