The Force Awakens, For Your Consideration Soundtrack Timeline

This blog is a comparison of The Force Awakens, For Your Consideration soundtrack with the music actually heard in the film. The timings of the soundtrack (minute:second) are on the left, followed by an equal sign (=) and the approximate corresponding timings where that cue is used in the film (hour:minutes:second) on the right. For coordination purposes, the opening musical hit comes at 10 seconds (in other words, the first 10 seconds are silence, which corresponds to “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...”).
