After months of teasers, screenshots, previews, leaks, official trailers and more, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is finally upon us. The first Star Wars anthology movie arrives on Friday, Dec. 16, and its hard to imagine any extra footage left to share without delivering fans the movie itself. Except there is – Lucasfilm has just shared two music scores from the official Rogue One soundtrack.
Listen to "Her Path is Clear" and "Approach to Edau" via Entertainment Weekly in the video below:
Rogue One represents a departure from the past Star Wars films in many ways. Rogue One is also the first Star Wars feature to not have a soundtrack created by legendary composer John Williams. The movie originally assigned Alexandre Desplat to the task, but major Rogue One reshoots that changed the movie's story and tone caused the studio to replace Desplat with Michael Giacchino just three months ahead of the movie's scheduled release. In fact, Giacchino revealed he only had four weeks to create the soundtrack.
What did you think of the music scores? Do they measure up to the iconic Star Wars themes from the past? Tell us your favorite piece of Star Wars music in the comments below.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story arrives in theaters in Dec. 16. Upcoming Star Wars anthology films also include a young Han Solo solo movie starring Alden Ehrenreich as well as a rumored Boba Fett solo film in the future.
