The Last Jedi Soundtrack Musical Analysis: Track 05 – Fun With Finn and Rose

12/26/2017

​Track five is tricky. Yes, much of this music is heard in the film, but it appears to often be used non-linearly. This is another spot where there's a significant amount of editing that yields substantial differences between the soundtrack and the music heard in the film. Anyway, most of this music is found in the scene where Finn and Rose meet.

0:00-0:18 Rose's theme (first hearing on soundtrack), English horn, D-flat major, both phrases
I'm uncertain if/where this is used in the film. Roses's theme is heard so frequently throughout this scene where she meets Finn that it's incredibly difficult to discern which iteration in the film corresponds to which iteration in the soundtrack.

0:18-0:27 incidental
0:27-0:42 Rose's theme again, alto flute & horn, D-flat major
0:42-0:47 incidental
0:47-0:54 Dies irae hints in a low viola ostinato
Picture
This dies-irae-like ostinato is heard three times in the film: First, about 38 minutes in, is right after Holdo and Poe have their first confrontation. Second, about 41 minutes in, just after Rose shoots Finn. And third, just a moment later, when Finn says, “the fleet is doomed.” Again, it's pretty much impossible to discern which of the three is used in the soundtrack until I can get my hands on a copy of the film.

0:54-1:07 viola ostinato continues, hints of Resistance march (strings) added
1:07-1:18 hints of Resistance march, alto flute
1:18-1:37 incidental
1:37-1:52 Leia's theme, D-flat major, english horn and clarinet
1:52-2:12 resistance march, strings and horn, G# minor
2:12-2:32 Incidental with artificial fade out
