"Help us!!" Take it! Take it!" - @starwars  Rogue One (2016) I'm not the physical actor on screen at the door, but that's my voice. I screamed the lip-synch as an overdub, as production sound was deemed unusable due to on-set noise. What a scene! #voiceover #voiceacting

Kylo’s and Rey’s themes are mirror opposites. One is practically the reverse of the other, with only slight modifications. The last three notes of Kylo’s theme are the first three of Rey’s, and then they continue in reverse: Rey ending up, Kylo down. @starwars

Both the TROS theme and Anakin’s theme are in Lydian mode (major scale w a #4 ) and contain fragments of other themes. Lydian is a mode that is used in Yoda’s theme as well, so both are tied into the force. #TheRiseOfSkywalker

Why does The Rise of Skywalker theme feel like a companion piece to Anakin's theme in The Phantom Menace? Is there a similarity, or just the common creator? If I'm not just imagining and there is a common thread, I'm sure @DavidWCollins will figure it out for @SoundtrackHSW ! ;-)

So far, Vader has a 2-note motif in #ObiWan , rolling through the series like a tank. Fun that those two notes are also the same two notes at the start of Obi's new theme, spelling out a simple minor 3rd. Amazing how context & orchestration changes everything. #YouWereMyBrother

When I hear a new musical theme, my brain asks why: why did the composer make the choices they made? Sometimes I make cool realizations. Other times I find random stuff that’s just amusing and too nerdy of a stretch to be valid. For example: the new JW theme for #ObiWan (1/3)

A note about HK-47 from KOTOR: that performance happened almost by accident. Every line in KOTOR's script included director notes in parenthesis at the top of each line. According to Darragh, VO actor Kristoffer Tabori (while trying on HK-47) decided to read them as a joke (1/2)

The "Main Title" music in @starwars was originally conceived as Luke Skywalker's theme in 1977. It's obviously evolved in meaning over the years, but perfect that it's used so heavily in #TheRiseOfSkywalker trailer as a heroic symbol of the entire Skywalker legacy. #NineOperas

The #StarWarsVisions logo music was a wonderful collaboration w LFL. It opens w stacked 5ths to represent a blank canvas. The dorian melody (solo horn) starts in D minor & switches to G major. Dark Side/Light Side. The end harp has a #4 lydian, signifying open-ended possibility.

I've voiced quite a few @starwars characters over the years, but talking to myself in #JediSurvivor as these two imperial knuckleheads is a first 😜 #voiceover @CESDTalent

I asked @skywalkersound if I could supervise @WillowOfficial because I love the original. I soon learned that a designer I’ve always admired asked for the exact same reason. A joyous fellowship was born. The sound designer on Willow is David Farmer of Lord of The Rings fame!

Not dies irae, but chord arpeggios outlining Leia's theme (on first listen, that's what I hear). Starting at the root, descending D major w a Bb (flat 6) passing tone, then G minor w an A passing tone. The whole trailer is Skywalker-driven in terms of themes #TheRiseOfSkywalker

While we're on the subject of ST @starwars musical motifs: Rose Tico's theme is a variation on the force theme. But it's obscured by it's major mode (instead of dorian/minor), and displacement by a beat (pickup is on downbeat).

I started as an intern at @skywalkersound over 24 years ago. It was June of 1999. While I was an intern that summer, I turned 24. 🤯🤯🤯

Hard to believe that #TheBadBatch is ending with tomorrow’s series finale. It’s been an amazing, life-changing four years working on this show. Huge thanks to our @skywalkersound crew and everyone at #LucasfilmAnimation . Get ready for an epic and emotional last episode!

I just learned that John Williams is premiering his Violin Concerto No. 2 this weekend at Tanglewood. Though he’s famous for his film scores, a new violin concerto from Williams is kind of a big deal, since his first is marked by tragedy (thread):

I started at the scoring stage of @skywalkersound as an intern in 1999, and it’s been the adventure of a lifetime ever since. Last night Lucasfilm celebrated 20, 30 and 40-year service awards. Congrats to the classes of 2000, 2001, 1990, 1991, and 1980! #LucasArts
