    Wait.

    Are you the one fan that doesn't appreciate the Imperial March?

    If so, eureka! We've finally found you.

    well if the imperial theme showed up in TFA would they have to rename it the first order theme?

    Nope I love the heck out of that score. i was really happy TFA did not have it cause it was a musical cue of showing that the FO is not the Empire.

    That's my point though. It is not in the film as a full score nor is it used for the new characters. It is there to show that it has no place with the FO but only with the Empire as it was suppose to be and all that. Hence it only being used subtly for a few seconds only when Vader's helmet it on screen.

    If anybody else was wondering, it's not Alexandre Desplat score.

    Here are the music sources from the Celebration reel:


    0:00-0:35. Not sure why, but this first section from the trailer is omitted in the music recreation.


    6:40-7:20 is 0:35-1:15 in the reel. My favorite section, especially with the two quick Yavin base shots.


    Starting at 0:37 is 1:16 in the reel. It's been edited to fit the reel.

    Wasn't sure if it was Desplat, and I didn't even notice it was three separate pieces from different composers. Time for me to listen to some Desplat scores so I can catch up.

    I was just gonna post some Alexandre Desplat scores ^.

    Well here are some:

    The Imitation Game:


    The King's Speech:


    The Danish Girl:


    Very good Scores. His style of music is gonna add some deep emotional feel to Rogue One. And perhaps he'll be able to blend some of John Williams' classic themes into the score, if he chooses to go that route.
    A lot of people will be caught off guard for overlooking the non-John Williams score when they watch the movie, which might lead a lot of people into not liking the film. I'm fully prepared to go into the film knowing that we won't be hearing John Williams style of music, so I won't be surprised nor completely disappointed. It'll be different, and it won't feel exactly like Star Wars. And I'm just afraid that Alexandre Desplat will feel a lot of backlash from hardcore fans.
    Then again, I can imagine in due time, some crafty fan will edit in John Williams music. I'll look forward to that.

    His best score, IMO, is for Tree of Life. Here's a preview:

    Yep, this was one of my gripes with TFA. I had a much better reaction to the music/score I was getting during the trailers than how it was utilized in the final cut of the film. Just have to accept that is how things are done.

    Desplat is a great Film Composer in his own right. But the selfish Star Wars fan in me hopes that he, and other Composers who Score future Star Wars movies, copy John Williams' style as close as they can. :D

    John Williams sprinkled throughout would be fine. Otherwise it's just generic sci-fi thriller music.

    Desplat is anything but generic. He'll be fine. Though we're almost certainly getting Imperial marches and perhaps some force theme here and there for Chirrut.

    Alexandre Desplat is an expert on how to merge the slower version of "Imperial March" with parts of "Binary Sunset" to create a beautiful masterpiece... One that blends perfectly well with the overall somber mood of the Rogue One trailer! ^:)^=D=

    Heresy alert: I prefer Desplat to the Williams of today.

    Controversial! ;-)

    Do we know yet if Desplat scored the trailer music?
