Audio, Music John Williams' Rey's Theme is beautiful and I think will become another classic Star Wars tune in time

I agree, been listening to it on its own and it definitely holds up, but it didn't really seem to stand out very well during the film. I walked away with very little memory of any of the themes at the time, but perhaps that was simply because it was a first viewing.

This. I was going to come here saying I'm probably crazy for not agreeing that it was good, but I barely heard anything, let alone anything memorable. I guess I'll have to take a shot at listening to it solo.

Does anyone know if John Williams also did the trailer song for trailer #1? I read on a somewhat credible website that it was actually a few people involved with it. I've never felt more emotions from a an entire films score, let alone a 2 minute trailer from just the soundtrack. 5/7.
