Rey's theme isn't great?John Williams hasn't made anything great in 12 years. TFA is a far fucking cry from the last Star Wars score he worked on.

The point isn't the contract. As the article notes, they've got him dead to rights on that. But the cost of enforcing the contract is prohibitive, since it would alienate Abrams and his network and just land them an unenthusiastic director.tbf what sort of stupid contract would allow JJ to basically ignore its stipulations while chasing in them checks? whomever wrote the contract should be fired.
I cant speak entirely for the JJ-Paramount relationship since I havent followed it thoroughly. But the one thing I found very odd with it was how JJ handed them a re-energized, blockbuster Star Trek resurrection on a silver platter and they proceeded to squander much of it wholesale commercial/marketing wise.
I struggle to remember anything notable that happened for its 50th Anniversary apart from the run of the mill STBeyond PR.

Well I liked Jurassic World more than TFA, sooo... yeah, I'm not wanting Abrams back.

I thought Beyond was considered to be the best film in that trilogy by a country mile, especially by Trek fans?

Im speaking for on the fact that ST09 did wonders commercially and critically, and yet their push for the property as a whole didnt get very far beyond that.
Welcome back!<reads thread>
Nope.
Munich, right? Or Memoirs?
Both phenomenal.
Thank youThe Force Awakens score is a very good score.
Does it have a bunch of hooks in it? No. It's not a very hooky, poppy score. That, more than anything, threw me when I first saw the movie too. I said on a couple different shows in fact that I thought it might be the weakest of his scores.
I realized that it was channeling a lot of his late '70s golden era one afternoon when I put it on with the other six film scores while I was doing some house repair, and multiple times I realized I'd been confusing some of the score's more low-key tracks with pieces from Star Wars and Empire.
It's really somewhere around the 3rd or 4th listen that it starts to become pretty apparent that the score isn't really trying to go super big & heroic, but is tying what is there together really tightly. The motifs don't switch in and out like medleys, but sorta layer on top of each other at key moments.
Sorta like he did with Star Wars and Phantom Menace, he's kind of establishing a new musical vocabulary for the trilogy, and just like Phantom Menace, it was kind of jarring at first to hear the music go in a familiar-ish but decidedly different direction.
Is it on the lower end of his Star Wars work still? Yeah, probably. But it's certainly not bad, or even mediocre. It's really, really good stuff, and the potential to hear how it gets solidified and built out even further is one of the things I'm really looking forward to with The Last Jedi.
Oh, it's an improvement for sure (Trevorrow's involvement in 9 was rather disheartening for me, to say the least). I just think Trevorrow stepping down gave the studio the opportunity to bring a more exciting director onboard with a stronger body of work behind them who would have been likely to bring a more unique sense of vision to the film, as opposed to just digging someone up who's already given us something before.
Welcome back!
Can't let shitty fan theories get in your way!I think all the Kylo×Rey shippers annoyed me enough to lower my like a bit for VII. The Rey=Anakin thing, for some insane reason, also retroactively lowered my enjoyment if VII too. The heck is wrong with me?
I just need to see VIII.
Back to what?
I never said I wasn't reading SW related threads.
I said I was DONE DISCUSSING THEM.
That hasn't changed.
How can you hate on AotC when it has this
Lol this is probably trueNo but for real the Deathsticks gag is probably the first intentionally funny moment in the Prequels that actually lands.
