While I’m waiting for my Boardwalk pizza to come up, I have some thoughts on SWGE. First some pics:
When SWGE first opened, I remember hearing one big complaint was the absence of John Williams’ iconic score in the land. Yes, he composed a piece specifically for the land, but the original scores to his films are not heard around the land.
However, his music is heard in the rides. In RotR, I heard the following themes, some of my absolute favorites by the way, and there are more that I need to listen for more closely next time:
Tagging for spoilers just in case y’all consider this spoilery
Empire strikes back motif during end escape from Star Destroyer
Rey’s Theme
Kylo Ren’s motif
Motif heard during final attack / explosion and escape from first Death Star
Throne Room theme
Hearing this music made the experience much more emotional and thrilling for me. I’m glad they broke the rules to include it.
