Yesterday, after the Oscar nominations, director Rian Johnson shared a video of the Main Titles recording of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" on Vimeo (https://vimeo.com/252417024).

Luckily, the video took all the cue’s lenth and there’s also the slate visible.
I just downloaded the highest quality version of the video, opened it on Audacity, removed the voices and sound in opening and ending to keep just the music, and saved it in 16-bit FLAC format to keep the audio quality intact. For being just a phone video with mono audio, it doesn’t sound utterly terrible (at least for me).

As a friend of mine noticed, this cue went to be Unused, since in the final film they apparently used the Main Titles from The Force Awakens.

You can add this track to the Expanded Editions kindly shared by CGCJ (here (Thread 221596)) and bshively (here (Thread 221675)).

So, without further ado, here you go, folks!

Enjoy! :awsm:

AND MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

Thanks for this, quality isn’t too bad.

Baffling that they just reused the recording from Force Awakens when John recorded a new version for Last Jedi. Surely this wasn’t a mistake by the music editor, so what happened? Even Rian Johnson thought the film used a new recording.

Thanks! Nice of you to do this.

The L.A. musicians recorded 184 minutes of music, some of it had to be tossed and newly written and performed due to re-editing.

Thanks for sharing this!

It’s 138 minutes actually, according to the Production Notes.

Thank you!

A Variety article with Williams himself specified 184 minutes of music was recorded overall, some of which was discarded. 138 minutes seems more like the amount of music included in the final cut. Maybe one of the articles got the numbers reversed.

He did record 3 hours of music for Force Awakens though, and Last Jedi is a longer film, so 3 hours sounds about right to me.

Nothing new… apparently even the prequels had something similar, with the TPM Main Titles used for all the three movies.

Could you find that article? It apprears to be more accurate than the Production Notes. 138 minutes could well be the music used in the film alone.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing.

After seeing this, I went and compared the Force Awakens & Last Jedi Main Title tracks and, aside from being mastered differently and a micro-edit (at 1:17 in TLJ), they’re pretty much identical.

I wonder why they re-used the Force Awakens recording for the album. For the film, I can see why but the album?

�\_(ツ)_/�

I didn’t know there was meant to be a different recording for the TLJ "Main Title".

I will have to give it a listen.
