We have already reached the track “A Long Ride Home” (#2), in which music of agony and anticipation prevails concerning the little girl’s salvation, while the stormtroopers seek her. Her hiding place is a cave, where Jyn finds a hatch that it would not be easy for anyone to locate. Her mother, Lyra, gives her a goodbye kiss and tells her to trust the Force. At 1:56 in the same track, another new hypotonic musical theme appears, which is about the main movie’s character, Jyn Erso. It is a musical theme that indicates not only the threat of this specific character, but also his arrogance stemming from his rank. At 0:36 in the track, one of the new themes appears and it is about Director Krennic, who oversees the construction of the Death Star. The first musical instrument we listen following the introductory orchestra’s music outburst is the flute, which is ideal for transfusing a feeling of space mystery. The music brings abruptly the viewers to movie’s events without allowing them to think anything else, besides the one that they are watching on the big screen, which makes them completely absorbed. Without any opening credits and their famous music, the first frame that we see is the one of the space, to which we are introduced all of sudden by the introduction of the track “He’s Here for Us” (#1). The plot of “Rogue One” is set immediately before the incidents of “Star Wars: A New Hope” (1977), with a group of rebels on a mission to steal the architectural plans of a superweapon constructed by the empire, known as the Death Star. Abrams, it was now his time to compose the score of the next Star Wars universe movie, which is a standalone film storywise. While Michael Giacchino participated as a stormtrooper in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (2015), directed by his beloved friend and co-worker, J.J. This is a frequent situation for many composers. The score would be assigned to Alexandre Desplat, but the additional movie’s filming coincided with the composer’s other obligations, forcing him to quit. This was the time period he had on his disposal for composing the score, following the change of the movie’s composer. However, before he ends up composing the score of “Rogue One’’, composer Michael Giacchino spent one month under too much pressure.
Not because this music would be heard during the movie’s opening credits, which in this case there weren’t any, but for reasons of warming up, so that they can then compose the movie’s score. And indeed he was right, since after all these years at the forefront of film scoring, Michael Giacchino picks up the torch from John Williams and becomes a worthy successor!”ĭuring the beginning of the recording sessions, the first thing that the orchestra did, was to perform the familiar opening credits of each Star Wars movie. “ … you’ve been composing it since you were ten years old… said his brother to the composer, when he learnt that he was offered the movie’s score.
