I've had a chance to play Jedi: Fallen Order, and I enjoy the music from it. I might have to see about picking up the soundtrack for my games.

Great informative video. I didn't understand all of the technical terms, but seeing the music broken down and explained visually showed how John Williams is the master.

So although I listened to them all on YouTube, I never purchased The Mandalorian Season 1 soundtracks because it is eight soundtracks! I recently finished my rewatch of both seasons of TM and looked online to see that they did something much more reasonable for TM s2 and TBoBF s1 – Instead of releasing soundtracks for each episode, they released only two soundtracks for TM s2 and two soundtracks for TBoBF, which will probably be the norm for these D+ series going forward. So I purchased the soundtracks for TM s2 and TBoBF. They have a few songs from each episode. So I decided to go through TM s1 and choose 2-4 tracks for each episode to download at about 1/3 the cost of buying the whole soundtrack for every episode. And it was all free to me because I have an Amazon gift card balance from gifts.
So my personal collection of TM s1 music is similar in scope to the compilation soundtracks released for the two more recent releases. I'll have to create some playlists and start listening to them. It will take me a while to get through them all. It's pretty good music but I am disappointed Williams motif reference is so rare in these.

I'm sorry, but I just have no motivation to add the new themes from TLJ and TRoS to the post. |
I didn't see it posted anywhere in the thread - I've used this site as a resource before which might help anyone looking for the missing themes: https://franklehman.com/starwars/ |

That was one of my sources. I love it, but it is very technical. I try to balance it out with other sources, and also don't want to get too technical here for fear of misspeaking because I have zero official musical training. I just have a lifetime of loving music and an ear for hearing motifs from an intuitive perspective.
It looks like it has been expanded since the last time I looked at it. I still have no motivation to add anything to my post for the DT, but I may go back through and add a few things for other films.

That source was even updated again a few days ago. The guy is a music professor and music theorist who is passionate about Star Wars music.
Star Wars music thematic analysis
It was more involved than I thought it would be, but I went through and updated the second post of this thread (linked above).
~~~
And in case anyone might find this interesting, The Mandalorian has only used a mere four film motifs, and two of those are from the DT. The four are: The Force, Yoda, Snoke, and March of the Resistance. I have to say that I am very disappointed that more film motifs are not referenced. Most film characters don't appear and it is not like I am expecting the film motifs to appear often, but there are opportunities to include more than they have. They didn't even use Luke's theme (the main theme of SW) for Luke's appearance. Sad.

I edited the second post of this thread with something I never noticed until this week. The composer of Rogue One ingeniously based the main theme of the film (Jyn Erso's Theme) on a John Williams musical figure appearing in ANH. I can't remember where I came across this revelation, but I looked on YouTube for a video on it today and sure enough, there was one (which I edited into the original post)...
That's so cool, and explains why Jyn's motif always seemed so inherently Star Wars. The main themes of both anthology films actually go back to John Williams.
In other Rogue One music news, last month an Expanded Edition of the score was released, not unlike the Deluxe Edition of Solo that was released in 2020. It seems to have all the music from the film, plus alternate versions of some cues as bonuses. 57 tracks, 2h24m. The deluxe Solo album was available on CD, but so far the Expanded Edition of RO is only available in digital download ($11.49 on Amazon), with a 4-disc vinyl album ($75 plus shipping) available to pre-order now (ships in April).
The only Star Wars soundtrack I currently have on vinyl is the original 1977 soundtrack (which cost me 25 cents at a yard sale). I considered splurging for the Expanded Edition of RO because it would be kinda cool to also have my favorite Disney SW movie soundtrack on vinyl. But as far as I can tell, the vinyl set does not comes with digital downloads which I would still want anyway, so I decided to just skip the records and just go cheap to get the digital downloads only. I've listened to some of it tonight. It's great.
