The weird thing will be when LF does something else like reboot or make sequels to Indiana Jones and we have Star Wars music before it.

I never considered that, but you are exactly right.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The music in its proper context. So beautiful.

Oh my god, they put that Jabba in the trailer? That seems like one of those things you'd avoid showing the audience at all costs.

They were quite proud of him, believe it or not. Crazy considering how good he looked 2 years later in TPM.

Yeah, he looked fine there. At least not...horrifying. That scene's one of the worst additions to me, I feel it ruins his build up over the course of the trilogy leading to the reveal in ROTJ.

Completely agree. Makes him look like a chump, and all he does is repeat the information Greedo just gave.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Apparently ANH still has the classic Fox Fanfare. Not unexpected.

 

[Marvolo]

Not liking that lazy Lucasfilm logo fanfare. It's just a chopped up bit of preexisting score.

I think no music would have worked a lot better. Now we have that fanfare and the scroll fanfare within 5 seconds of each other. The first music we should hear should be the main theme blasting through the speakers when the Star Wars logo flies off into the distance. Not this "new" Lucasfilm fanfare.

 

[BigCityBoy]

I can live with that new Lucasfilm fanfare logo....as long as there's not a Disney logo at the beginning, like the Marvel movies, I'm good.

 

[Solidus]

Not too bad. I knew they would just use the LFL logo.

I'm fine with this music.

But, I think this is temporary and that maybe/hopefully Williams will compose a little something while he's doing TFA.

I'd personally prefer your option, with the main theme being the first thing we hear.

I would also prefer this.

"Thirded."

 

[DarthSkywalker]

One of my favorite bits is the silence over the LF logo and "A long time ago...". The anticipation. Always gave me the tingles.

 

[Doctor Jones]

So I guess we're more sure now that Disney isn't attaching their logo to their SW material e.g. TFA?

It seem they are going the same route as Marvel, yes.

 

[Bim]

^ that's cool, although i gotta say, i'm not losing sleep over it. I'm preparing myself for a different experience this time around anyways, starting with the lack of the Fox fanfare, which i'm so used to when it comes to SW lol.

 

[Lord]

Would personaly like to see the Disney logo, considering the films had 20th Century Fox's logo up until now. Would like to see how disney would change the intro of the castle, as they usualy stylise it with their films (Tron Legacy, Jogn Carter, Lone Ranger, etc)

 

[WC Avengers]

Fox is slick partnering with Disney for the HD release

However, they still hold the rights to the original theatrical version of STAR WARS.

If I was FOX I would get on with a original theatrical version untouched release.

Can you imagine the money?

and right b4 Episode 7 comes out.

Also, with the altered Lucasfilm intro, is this meant to get the public ready for an alternate FANFARE for the new trilogy. No longer will it be the original FOX FANFARE.

I will assume this is how Episode 7 opens.

As much as I hate it I do AGREE with you.

I wonder if that was a FOX choice since they STILL hold the rights to it?

or they could just be honoring the original.

I would hope the latter.

 

[Octoberist]

It's the former. It's that they still legally own the original film till the end of time.

Personally, I think it's a great attempt to capture the original FANFARE feel of the original. This most likely will be the opening for Episode 7. IMHO!


REMINDS ME OF THIS

from '

Superman 4: The Quest for Peace (sorry for the poor video) this also opened with a Superman type of fanfare
