Interestingly enough, it has been reported that the iconic Star Wars theme, originally composed by Williams, will not make an appearance in the film. This is incredibly surprising since there are few films in the franchise that take place without the original opening theme. Nevertheless, given the popularity of Newman&#8217;s other work, audiences are extremely excited to see what he will bring to the table.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The <em>Star Wars <\/em>franchise first began on May 25, 1977, and the world had no idea the journey it was about to undertake. Since the series&#8217; beginnings, John Williams has played a part in the iconic franchise, typically providing the score for most of the films. Very few Star Wars series feature a score that wasn&#8217;t done by Williams, and even fewer completely omit the iconic Star Wars theme.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>Star Wars: Starfighter<\/em> is one of the latest film spin-offs and is set to take place completely outside the Skywalker saga. The only thing that&#8217;s been confirmed so far is Ryan Gosling&#8217;s involvement in the film. Other than that, there&#8217;s really no telling what story the film could try to tell. However, one thing is for certain: the movie will sound slightly different from what fans are used to.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This is not to say that Thomas Newman isn&#8217;t an incredibly talented composer. He has written the score for many of the most iconic films of the last several decades, including <em>Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Wall-E, Elemental, <\/em>and <em>Finding Dory<\/em>. Considering these amazing scores under his belt, there&#8217;s really no denying why he was chosen to write the score for the standalone <em>Star Wars <\/em>film. Yet, that doesn&#8217;t make his choice to omit the original Star Wars theme any less controversial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Based on his performance, Newman could be one of the people chosen to continue the Star Wars legacy after Williams inevitably passes. Although fans are hopeful that it will not happen for many years, the transcendental composer isn&#8217;t getting any younger. At this point, Disney should at least be slightly considering who they want to take the reins after William passes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/oscar-isaac-open-returning-star-143936277.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Oscar Isaac Is &quot;open&quot; to Returning to Star Wars, But Only Under This One Condition;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: Oscar Isaac Is &#8220;open&#8221; to Returning to Star Wars, But Only Under This One Condition<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Kevin McCarthyTV, Thomas Newman will compose the score for Star Wars: Starfighter instead of John Williams.
