Here’s the plot of Rogue One based on the tracklisting to Giacchino’s score.
How long did the rogue one soundtrack take to composr movie#
The score of The Phantom Menace famously featured a song called “The High Council Meeting and Qui-Gon’s Funeral,” spoiling the ending for everyone, though the closest that last year’s score for The Force Awakens got to spoiling anything was that Kylo Ren did, in fact, arrive at a battle because there was a song called “Kylo Ren Arrives at the Battle.” The leaked track titles for Rogue One seem to be somewhere in the middle - vague enough to not mean anything to the casual observer, but obvious enough for fans to figure out the plot of the actual movie before the movie even comes out. Michael Giacchino’s score for Rogue One, the first Star Wars movie not done by John Williams, was supposed to be similarly secretive, but what looks like the legit track listing has been leaked on a Polish site for what looks like a Hot Topic ripoff called EMP.
The tracks are listed by the order of the original soundtrack. Rogue One music is reprised in later Star Wars media both the hope motif and the leitmotif for the squad Rogue One are played in the LEGO Star Wars: All-Stars episode " The Good Stuff!." The Rogue One theme was also used to introduce Diego Luna ( Cassian Jeron Andor) and Alan Tudyk ( K-2SO) at D23 Expo 2019 when the pair discussed the upcoming Star Wars: Andor televisions series. The CD sleeve includes jokey alternative titles for each track, reminiscent of the puns Giacchino usually employs in his scores. The original soundtrack was published by Walt Disney Records on compact disc as well as vinyl record. The soundtrack includes 21 tracks, which give a total runtime of over 69 minutes. A chorus is used for the tracks "Your Father Would Be Proud" and "Hope," which plays in the film as its protagonists and other members of the Rebel Alliance meet their death. The Rogue One soundtrack also makes extensive use of dies irae, which forms a significant part of Jyn Erso's theme.Īlthough the musical score does not begin with the " Star Wars Main Title" as with the Star Wars saga films, the Main Title is briefly played in the track "Scrambling the Rebel Fleet," when C-3PO and R2-D2 appears on screen. In addition to developing new themes and motifs such as the The Imperial Suite and the messenger motif, the film score incorporates leitmotifs from John Williams' Star Wars scores, particularly those from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. It was released on December 16, 2016, the same day as the film itself. The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story soundtrack was composed by Michael Giacchino for the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
