Wow, this thread is again taken over by people blaming these films and society for evolving.

Also, reading those remarks, they have no idea how films are made. "They storyboard, film it and put it together - that's it!" Yeah, right...

And please tell me how films are made? Do you think storyboards and animatics are just "suggestions"?
Its used to lock down the majority of the film in pre-production so not to waste millions during filming.
(That's not to say there isn't editing afterwards.)

Regardless if you think society is evolving or not has nothing to do with this trilogy. They tried to reboot Star Wars with new characters a lot of ppl don't care about. Not because of race or gender but because they are dull boring cardboard cutout soulless characters. The second film in the trilogy crapped on everything JJ did in the first film, now they got to try and stitch together some kind of coherent ending. There was zero planning regarding a three picture narrative.

With you all the way. The movie is still more than two months away but the negativity has already started on this board...which has become a habit by some of the posters here. Very much looking forward to it and yes, loved 'The last Jedi'.

Back to the music ...

Even with all the last minute editing/changes/fiddling/and other post-production finishing that goes on, I'm still wondering why an album release has not yet been announced.

They usually are by now, because the film's release date is still the release date.

I don’t think anyone is mistaking Disney’s current trilogy with being in the same league as the original Star Wars (1977). Even The Empire Strikes Back was a bit of a step down, excluding the score.

No, the beef that a particular kind of thread commentator has with this current series of “Star Wars Lite” movies is entirely unrelated to the quality of the movies themselves; it has everything to do with the particular consumer sensibility the new trilogy is being marketed towards.

To be blunt, they put a girl at the focus of this trilogy and that is really rubbing some self-appointed guardians of chauvinist sensibilities the wrong way.

And to put it blunt, that's the false narrative you all been dishing out from the very beginning. Ive never heard one person say they have a problem with a girl being the focus of the new trilogy. But then again you all got your agenda to push.

Henry we all respect your opinion my friend. YOU don't name call or attack others for having an opposing opinion.

Ehhh… poorly conceived, written, directed and performed cash grabs intended to maximize a brand line and nothing more.

And I certainly hope Williams hasn't impaired his health toiling on this rubbish.

Preach.

Nerd outrage is a flat circle.

This has to be a joke right? I mean, I can go back to a few locked threads here to see peopel saying exactly that.

Right, so back to the music ...

I'd like to imagine that there's a super special and very exciting reason that a soundtrack has not yet been announced. I've heard the "wary of over-saturating the market" theory, and it is plausible, but the dream I'm entertaining is a really neat one.

Anyone else have any thoughts as to why -- so far -- they've not announced a release for John Williams' final Star Wars score ...?

Not to worry. A soundtrack will be announced in due time.

Looking forward the film very much. Loved THE FORCE AWAKENS, so I'm sure JJ delivers again.

All the negativity here -- for a film that hasn't even been released yet -- just goes in one ear and out the other. Completely worthless comments.

There will be a last-minute replacement score by Lorne Balfe.

Yeah, because all Star Wars fans hated Leia because she was a woman right?

Nope,fans loved Leia ( In original trilogy) because she was smart,well written ( for the most part ) had great chemistry with Han,kicke ass...and looked smoking hot in that metal bikini.

Fans hate characters like Rey because shes badly written and a total Mary Sue ( Though Daisy Ridley is a good actress ).

Regarding the music,i would imagine that no album has been announced because due to the fact that they are scrambling to finish this movie on time there just hasnt been time for it.Spoilers are not an issue because they clearly learned their lesson long ago due to THAT spoiler being on the back of the Phantom Menace cd.

Well, this fan and others I know did like Rey and didn't think her part was poorly written. She may be a Mary Sue to some, but not to everyone. It is all personal opinion.

GOLDSMITHDAKING: Yeah, because all Star Wars fans hated Leia because she was a woman right?

"Rubbing some self-appointed guardians of chauvinist sensibilities the wrong way" is not "...all Star Wars fans hated Leia because she was a woman." unless you assume (like lots of other morally retarded fanboys) that every male Star Wars fan is a misogynist. Don't be dense.

Some right wing trolls don't like the new trilogy. Neither do I. But for reasons that have nothing to do with the concerns of morally retarded fanboys.

And by the way, GOLDSMITHDAKING, your GIF of Salma Hayek's tits doesn't inspire much confidence that you have any perspicacity about women's roles in film, or women altogether, for that matter.

Thanks Joan. Great article. I like Rey a lot as well, and enjoy her character quite a bit. I also don't think that she was poorly written or a Mary Sue.

As for the soundtrack announcement, it is ridiculous to think that it hasn't been announced because of problems in production. We live in a different world now, and it is rare that soundtracks, particularly from Disney, are announced more than two months before a movie is released. We haven't even gotten an announcement for a Maleficent 2 soundtrack and it comes out next week! Admittedly Disney likely has higher expectations for Star Wars than they do Maleficent, but the Avengers: Endgame soundtrack wasn't announced until shortly before its release, and Disney clearly had high expectations for that film. Plus, soundtracks are made available for pre-order all the time with little or no information available. Some 1 disc sets ultimately become 2 disc sets, like Godzilla: King of Monsters, and It: Chapter 2.

I want the soundtrack as much as anyone, but early pre-orders just aren't the norm anymore.
