Rogue One Complete Track List Announced

By Loud Josh
 
If you opened up my iPad right now, you’d find that over 90% of the music I own comes from movie and television soundtracks. An amazing soundtrack can make a mediocre movie enjoyable and a bad soundtrack can leave an excellent movie feeling forgettable. A masterful soundtrack can transport your mind, body, and soul from your theatre seat into an entirely different universe, the one inside the screen.
 
To say that Michael Giacchino has his work cut out for him in writing the music to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is an understatement. John William’s scores for Star Wars Episodes 1-7 are at worst iconic and at best legendary. That said, I fully believe Giacchino is up to the task. His score for Star Trek (2009) reinvigorated a dying series and the soundtrack to Up melts my heart every time I hear it. While Alexandre Desplat might have been the studio’s first choice as composer, but it’s clear that Giacchino knows what he’s doing, and I for one, am incredibly excited to hear what he has to deliver.
 
To that end, a track list for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was released today. If you want to know nothing going into this movie, I suggest you stop reading now as minor spoilers are unveiled through the titles of the tracks.

I for one am looking forward to Star-Dust, as anyone who has read “Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel” by James Luceno knows, “Stardust” is Jyn’s nickname from her father Galen. How that comes into play? I have no idea! And its amazing!
 
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hits theatres December 16, 2016 and the soundtrack will be released the same day!
