The gif really highlights how important post-production sound effects are to sell a punch in movies. And how you're not supposed to be able to watch them on repeat to see all the fakery. :P
 
this has probably been mentioned many times before, but what I love most about the trailer is the imperial klaxon. makes the trailer so similar to the alien trailer, which is one of the best of all time
 
How are you all gonna talk Desplat and not mention his Fantastic Mr. Fox or Grand Budapest Hotel scores? Probably not relevant to what he'll do with Rogue One at all, but still good shit.

That's why. :p he has an impressive body of work with a lot of variety, I was just referencing scores similar to what we'll get with this, unless he decides to get experimental but he tends to score for, well, what he's scoring for. I imagine Rogue One's soundtrack will closely resemble Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2.

Should've kept the trailer dudes. The music they made was a lot more memorable than Williams' score.

The Force theme redone for the 100th time as opposed to all the new character and faction themes. Okay. Yeah, the "trailer dudes" sure have demonstrated the know-how to score an entire film as good as John Williams after doing a slight remix of currently-existing music... that he wrote.

Rey's Theme was the best thing Williams made for the movie, and that's about it. I replayed the last trailer for TFA dozens of times just to listen to that track. But if we're gonna argue over music, then we're gonna be here all day.

Preeeeetty sure that Williams scored the first teaser; you can even hear a bit of the final score in the Kylo Ren shot (compare with the first tantrum scene in the film and you can hear the repeated motif).

While I'm a massive Michael Giacchino fan, don't say ridiculous things.

I like it but it's just a more shonen version of the Force theme whereas the score is entirely new stuff with so many new and good themes. But you're probably right about that last point.

Yeah, this is a load of shit (literally all they did was remix what JW has already done, aside from the beginning piano.. nicely done still, of course). His score was fantastic, just more subtle than other work he has done.

Lots of memorable tracks. March of the Resistance, Scavenger/Rey's Theme, The music that plays for Kylo whenever he's on screen (don't have a track name off the top of my head), Torn Apart, Finn's Confession..

I could go on.

It's not even particularly subtle. I think people expect Duel of the Fates or the Imperial March every time, and if he doesn't do something that immediately classic (though I think Rey and the Resistance already have iconic themes) it's boring or something.

The music is a little more contextual this time around; it has your big balls brass themes of steel but for example the track that goes with the lightsaber duel is more preoccupied with doing interesting things such as intertwining Rey and Kylo's themes as they're the characters involved in the duel. People just don't latch onto it as easily because it isn't a big choral number.

Those tracks and the final movement before credits are so much more interesting than making a bombaloo version of the Force theme for a trailer.

Yup. Not to mention that the closing credit score is worth the price of admission.

And anyway, it's a lot easier to spend all your time fine-tuning 2 minutes worth of music than 1-2 hours.
 
So they used the same actress that played Mon Mothma in Episode 3? Fucking love that eye for detail.

What weirds me out is that John Williams included the Vader theme just before Luke turns around and takes the hood off. It's weird, like, what the fuck is the music trying to say?

It isn't exact, but it's a variation of the Imperial/Vader theme.

Around one minute in. Like I said it's not beat for beat, but anyone with an ear for this stuff can immediately pick up on the structure/backbone of the Vader theme. John and other composers do this all the time; for example how you hear the Emperor's theme during the Phantom Menace celebration, or Vader's theme deliberately playing as Anakin is flying the Naboo ship in the space battle.

It isn't immediately noticeable to the average person who doesn't really look into it, but it's one of those "when you hear it you will shit bricks" sorts of things :p When that part starts and you hum or hear the Vader theme along with the tempo, it becomes blatantly obvious.

This is the track I mentioned from TPM, the Vader theme is all over this fucker, but it's easier to notice around 1:40 Very cool.
