Much has been written about the ways in which the original Star Wars worked, but at least part of the triumph of George Lucas’s original film was connected to the John Williams music.
It might not be better than what Gareth Edwards intended, but it it does certainly feel more like an old Star Wars film. Lee also employs old-fashioned wipes and dissolves for scene transitions, remaking Rogue One with a gauzy fairy tale feeling as opposed to the grittier aesthetic of the actual film. And so, when Lee splices some of the other A New Hope incidental music representing the Empire, the effect immediately makes the footage feel more retro.
Notably, the first Star Wars film didn’t use the “Imperial March” theme, because at that time, John Williams hadn’t composed it yet.
Michael Giacchino’s unique and excellent score is replaced here by more classic John Williams tracks.
