Oh hey, might as well:
For those of you
not very enamored of the music of The Force Awakens, Rogue One, and The Last Jedi, I spent part of Christmas break putting together
a 3-part podcast series for Full of Sith specifically about the soundtrack to the most recent film (which also touches on TFA and RO) and how it reinforces the character work and themes of the film.
Basically, if you've ever heard Star Wars Oxygen w/ David Collins, it's... kinda like that. Except different because I'm not as smooth, or as smart, or as experienced as he is in the realm of composition. But it's similar-ish in aim.
Maybe by the end of the series you won't have changed your mind much, but if you think Williams didn't write enough new themes/motifs in TFA and TLJ, I might be able to at least provide
some evidence to the contrary, and maybe even change your mind as to how its usage in the films is actually
good.
