"Spaceballs: The Schwartz Awakens" has a nice ring to it.

In about 9 weeks time, we'll have a new John Williams score to absorb.
His final music for a Star Wars film too.
I canna wait smile

Considering that Solo flopped at the box office,id say very few Star Wars fans saw it more than once.

We're way past the usual time that a Star Wars soundtrack is announced. My archived orders at Amazon show that I'd ordered Force Awakens and Last Jedi long before now, in 2015 and in 2017. And yet, no news (so far) on Rise of Skywalker.

Is it possible they're delaying its release for a super special reason?

I hope that super special reason isn't that it's ONLY getting a double LP vinyl release like the first film in 1977.

They’re probably trying to keep spoilers to a minimum on this one. Remember how pissed everyone was after reading the back tray of Phantom Menace before seeing the film?

Multiple rumors say this film is in post production hell. The film is most likely not locked down yet.

Abrams cuts and changes till days before release, and always has – so this is not news.

What I do think is happening is a very, very cautious approach to marketing this time around. I think Disney's wary of the wariness surrounding all things Star Wars. I think they're fearful that with The Mandalorian and TROS launching within six weeks of one another, they may present an an insurmountable perceived overdose on all things Star Wars (not to mention brand confusion to the average consumer, frankly) whether the projects are worthy or not.

But I do think we'll hear about the soundtrack once we have a proper TROS trailer – which by some accounts is due in the coming week.

It’s not a rumor. Williams said at Tanglewood he had to go back and restore parts of it, didn’t he? And that’s from seven weeks ago.

From what I overheard his brother Don say to someone at the Scoring Arts in August, this was always the plan by JJ and Williams from before the time main production wrapped. It was always going to be a string of sessions, separated by weeks, spreads across several months. This is not the usual model for film scoring, even for previous SW films in the Lucas era when Williams was often composing during a Nov-Dec time frame and recording the music in Jan-Feb or Feb-Mar, but this was absolutely planned for, just like when all big budget films schedule in reshoots ahead of time. It doesn't mean trouble, just plan of working incrementally during post.

I see no reason for this. Films like this are story-boarded. You film the boards. Lucas was an exception because he was obsessed with his toys and always tinkering to the very end. In most other cases if you don't have your film locked down by now its because you got a mess on your hands. Poor planning, weak script, not knowing how you want to end it, etc.

Except in this case,reshoots were filming well into september...merely three months away from release! The film has always been in trouble in regards to scheduling given the firing of original director Colin Trevorrow at the last minute and Disney practically begging JJ to come in and save the day.Given the sorry state the franchise is in now thanks to Kathleen ' I dont have to cater to male fans ' Kennedy with The Last Jedi dividing the fanbase,Solo flopping,Lucasfilm employees insulting fans on social media,Resistance being cancelled,Galaxys edge proving to be a financial and PR disaster,and the toys not selling ( Particularly Rose Tico action figures ).

Episode 9 has a lot of work to do to restore faith in the brand.

This brand has been long dead. It's a zombie franchise. It's gross, it stinks, it has no soul, and in this case it doesn't want your brain but your money.
But I guess there will allways be people who like zombies...
And I'm a fan of the original trilogy (pre-special/butchered/edition).

JW did an incredible work on the prelogy. His music was as epic and magical as the movies should have been.
But his work on the new trilogy is really lacking inspiration. I have the OST for Force awakens and every time I try to listen to it, I end up stoping half way. There are 2 or 3 great themes in there but the rest is just standard Williams factory tracks. I didn't buy Last Jedi.
I still have some hope that Rise of will be a firework,as a "goodbye" score though.
