Although the Star Wars films have been pretty rocky when it comes to their quality, one thing which is amazing about the 8 movies is John Williams’s score. The music had hit theatres with the Star Wars title card in 1977 and has since become the best-known scores in movie history. The Star Wars score had been among Williams’s very early Academy Award and the very beginning of a career which now includes 24 Grammys and 5 Oscars.
It is fitting that Rian Johnson would make a cut of The Last Jedi that allows Williams’s latest Star Wars score shine. The director had announced on Twitter that a few features of The Last Jedi DVD will be including a version of this movie with no dialogue, special effects, or backgrounds. It will be John Williams’ score.
“This is the full movie, but with no dialogue, fx or backgrounds,” Johnson had tweeted.
“I really wanted to put this out; it’s really something to see John’s music play with the movie, like a silent film.”
This will take one step extra for accessing the version of the film.
“The one hoop you have to jump through to get it,” he had said, is to “get the [Disney] Movies Anywhere app and link whatever account you bought the movie with to it. It’s free; it works pretty painlessly. Kinda a pain I know, but I think it’s worth it to get this version.”
