137: The Great ROGUE ONE Composer Debate

Film music. It binds us, surrounds us and draws us all together as fans. So when composers get switched up on a film as high-profile as ROGUE ONE, we must discuss. On this episode we delve into the film music of both Alexandre Desplat and Michael Giacchino to determine which would make the better composer for ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY. We couldn't do it alone, so Anthony Fox of MousePire joins us to offer some extra insight. With STAR WARS REBELS, Season 3 premiering on September 24th, it's time to look back at Kevin Kiner's score for the incredible Season 2 finale, "Twilight of the Apprentice." The chills, the thrills, the final 2 minutes - I NEED this soundtrack now! We also take you to the Season 2 Finale Q&A and play the relevant clips from Dave Filoni and Kevin Kiner talking about the music. If you want to hear more of that Q&A, head to Episode 115.
