Not to turn this into TFA versus TLJ, but I watched TFA again over the weekend and liked it much better, film and score, after seeing TLJ. I liked TLJ a lot but it's more like a compendium of ideas than a streamlined narrative, and I heard that yesterday when listening to the TFA score again for the first time in months. There is a shape to it, as others have said here, and a forward drive that perfectly calibrates the new and the old. TLJ will continue to reveal itself over repeated listens, I'm sure, but TFA was a revelation to me on this go-round. Like the film, it's so entertaining that it accomplishes more than it lets on in what it sets up in a short time. I agree.

Good God above, I really hope and pray John Williams has the juice to finish out this saga! Would love to see him hold that Oscar in 2019! I think John Williams is being groomed for a late-career Oscar win. His last win was a 1993 film. Nominated for TFA. Didn't win. Nominated for TLJ. Didn't win. Episode IX, regardless of it's quality, will likely be nominated. The man's a legend. He'll be...what? 87 or 88 years of age? Three trilogies? Let's give him his sixth Oscar and a standing ovation! That just may happen. All I ask is that he is able to finish SW IX. that's enough for me right now.
