Williams went on to win an Academy Award for best score at the 50th Oscar Ceremony held in 1978.
The score is often credited for bringing the grand symphonic scores back into Hollywood in the late 1970s, using themes and motifs to anchor certain parts of the film to the soundtrack. The score was written in 1977 while A New Hope was being made and was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. Gustav Hoist, William Walton, Sergei Prokofiev, and Igor Stravinsky heavily influenced Williams' original Star Wars score. When placed with an intimidating task, Giacchino rose to the occasion with a thoughtful score that added just the right amount of nostalgia. For example, what theme is playing when Rogue One introduced Darth Vader? Even Giacchino's original Rogue One Theme is repurposing notes of the original Star Wars Theme for continuity. While Giacchino mostly did his own thing, he made sure to echo Williams's original themes when plot points reflected the original trilogy. Rogue One composer Michael Giacchino ( Star Trek) had four and a half weeks to compose the new score. The Force has a theme, the Imperial March has a theme, the Death Star has a theme, and all of the movies (except Rogue One) start with the instantly recognizable Star Wars Theme. One of Williams' best-known tricks for the original scores was the use of musical themes.
A lot of care and work went into the fan-made clip and it shows. The video first shows the original scene, then a scene with the music taken out where the video's creators had to recreate sound effects on their own, and then the their complete vision. Maple Films YouTube channel has shared their version of the epic Rogue One battle using the Williams score, and it's pretty awesome and nostalgic. Some of the more eagle-eared super fans have wondered what Rogue One would have sounded like with Williams iconic score intact and decided to take action. One of the more controversial ways besides not utilizing the famous opening crawl, was the decision to not use composer John Williams for the musical score, which makes Rogue One the first live action Star Wars film not to utilize the instantly recognizable talents of John Williams.Ĩ4-year old Williams said at the time of the release of Rogue One that his workload was too much, which is understandable, since he is 84-years old. The film was to be a one-off no sequels, no prequels, just one standalone film to set up A New Hope. It is abundantly clear after watching the behind the scenes extras of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story that Disney wanted to set the film apart from the rest of the Star Wars universe. An awesome new fan-made edit shows what the epic battle scene at the end of Rogue One would have been like if it were set to John Williams' iconic score.
