Here (https://mega.nz/#!StxmCTKJ!IpwwdX4rhw_7eWMiZBP46sHqzBm-fTmP4kUSus-SSWo) is yet another edit of Star Wars: The Last Jedi combining music from the official album and the FYC. This is an alternative to CGCJ's edit of the score with fewer, lengthier tracks.

There are a few differences between my and CGCJ's mix: first, I included a mixture of the OST and FYC versions of "Finale," as music was different across the two (the OST version had more themes from the film, the FYC eventually became a reprisal of The Battle of Crait); second, I included recreations of the music for the teaser and trailer for the film, as ripped from YouTube (I ripped them so long ago I don't remember the creators, unfortunately, otherwise I would give them a shout-out); thirdly, I made new track names (I tried to give the titles the format and style John Williams does); fourthly and finally, the cover is from the custom covers thread of this site, but I don't remember who designed it, otherwise I'd also give them a shoutout (it should be attached to the audio files; if it's not, let me know and I'll post it).

Some of the combinations are unavoidably not great (most notably in tracks 1, 7, and 22), but I did the best I could; I think, all in all, the mixing and editing is pretty alright, save for those few rough cuts. A lot - and I mean a lot - of the hard work was done by CGCJ, who deserves way more credit than I do (they did a bunch, I merely combined some things and added a very tiny bit).

Also, for the audiophiles, the original format I used for mixing was kind of a mess, but now they're all AAC-encoded 320kbps m4a.

I am by no means great at mixing music, so hopefully these efforts will tide us all over until someone more talented can come along and do a more proper mix.

I want to give thanks to Cameron007 for uploading the FYC in the first place and for CGCJ for making a great mix that I put my own spin on.

Thanks so much for your work! I've been thinking about taking a crack at doing this but might hold out until a higher quality version of the FYC album is released.

Thanks for this, though I can't say I'm not bummed out. CGCJ's isn't great (his words, not mine), and you say this one isn't as well. Guess we'll have to hold out for the lossless FYC for Faleel to make an edit.

Also: always edit in lossless. Convert the MP3 to FLAC and edit from there, prevents any further quality loss :)

A big thanks ! This is one of the most complex work of John Williams, from Star Wars Saga... and creating this new extended edit means also a lot of work for you ! Thank you very much for your effort in arranging everything, select all music, and make a truly most expanded soundtrack until this present moment.

Thanks for the tips. I would say that both mine, which is good though imperfect, and CGJC's are meant more to hold everyone over until something better comes along.

Definitely. Initially I was a bit underwhelmed with Williams's work for VIII (mostly by the lack of new themes), but, the more I listen to it, the more I appreciate its intricacy and am swept up in its awesomeness.
