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.

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

So far, Vader has a 2-note motif in

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.

Sometimes you only have 1 second to express an idea, but that second is so important. The tank sequence is such a cool setup, so I spent a lot of time creating a fun “Shot-Zip-THONK-Rumble-BOOM” payoff (1/4)

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.

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

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
