Bad writing is what happened.

The music might be fine, but it's like putting lipstick on a pig. The show itself is garbage.

He literally just took a blood sample. This shows keeps getting more idiotic its just the bottom of star wars

Cool, thanks! I'm still having difficulty following the musical themes, and mostly I'm just getting moods and feelings from it.

Imagine watching this slop when you could watch something more entertaining like paint drying

Is that a knife or are you pleased to see me? Utter garbage.

How much worse does star wars have to get before you sycophants stop supporting the mutilation of a formerly beloved franchise?

The acting is dry, the writing is poor and my God the fights are mid at best. But tell me, why use kunai instead of vibro blades?

What made me realise in star wars that its all about perpective. The empire thinks they are right, the rebellion thinks their right. I swear if you think empire is worst think again the rebellion is attempting to recreate a highly corrupted government where the rich its the poor even worst and limit themselves to who joins them. The empire when theres a new planet they just improve and even when they havent join yet they just provide free security. Also isnt like the rebel has many criminals?

Na I was not on either side, I was like yea I want the clones to survive but I also want these people defending their home world to survive and not just be ex-….. well f**k

I know a lot of people hate the show but me personally I'm kinda enjoying it. ❤😋

WOW what an interesting detail 😮. A tiny little piece of glitter on a massive pile of sh*t

I couldn't get over the show being trash to even notice

I didn't even notice that! What a good observation

the indian anthem in the minute 14.20 is outsanding i love it such a pure music from an andian voice

MAX REBO MY ABSOLUTE BELOVED I LOVE HIM SM

Thiis fight scene sucked.

I really like that mystery music when Osha finds Torbin (and it's used again in the credits), but it was bugging me because it reminded me of something I couldn't quite place. Today I finally found it: It's "A Golden Crown" from the Game of Thrones Season 1 soundtrack.

I wasn't familiar with Abels previously, but his work here is a big highlight for me so far, and I appreciate getting these breakdowns. 🙂Good point about the piece at 8:44. Usually I think of a drone as being lower than what's played over it, so it's interesting to have the opposite in this case.

It doesn't matter teeny tiny little knife kills Jedi when several Jedi get stabbed through the gut with lightsaber and somehow survived

It's not the music, we want them to win because loyalty means everything to the clones and these are our brothers.

Such a beautiful show. They should’ve put this out as soon after rogue one as they could have it would have gotten so much more attention

Isn't music fascinating. I agree with you that the chorus "power of 1, power of 2, power of many" was pretty weird. Even outside of a musical context, it just felt weird and unnatural when i was watching the episode regularly. I think they probably could've chose better lyrics than those too, they seem kinda uncreative. As to the twins conception, I imagine the witches created them using some sort of dark magic or dark side of the force. If this is true, then it could make the rest of the series interesting with Osha fighting between both sides. In the clone wars series, the witches of dathomir did a similar thing with savage oppress, changing his character and morphing him to become giant and strong. I'm also curious to see what the Jedi did to contribute to all the destruction as well, being evident by many things. I'm loving these star wars musical analysis', please keep em coming!

That is not middle Eastern music, it is all Indian from India.

The music reminded me of 09's MW2 soundtrack

After a few more listenings: at 1:00 the horn theme - damn if that isn't Kylo Ren's theme with an extra note (no 4) added and slightly different pacing. Once you've heard it... And, as I said elsewhere, I think this is totally unintentional and probably a side effect of binging on Williams-music in preparation. Some fragments are bound to stick.

Despite the hokiness of the lyrics, I kinda liked the harmony of the choral stuff. I do think it's the first time there was a diagetic song in English in Star Wars but if you count Huttese then Lapti Nek (now Jedi Rocks I think) was the first diagetic music with lyrics.

Hearing the children screams hurt Bix. Hearing the funeral march healed her 😭

Another great review/breakdown! Certainly I'm not getting any better at picking out themes. So thanks in particular with noting the creepy vibe of the music as Sol is hugging Osha. I really liked this episode, although of course I wasn't trying to figure out the music. Obviously we're not getting the whole story, and I suspect it's more than just Rashomon style differing viewpoints. I suspect Osha's memories have been distorted by Sol. As for the question of how Mae and Osha were created ... it would be cool if it's a technique that would be expanded upon by Darth Plagueis or something. But for now, my guess is that it's a lot more like IVF, reflection how IVF is used by lesbian couples here on Earth. My guess is that their conception is more like Boba Fett than Anakin Skywalker. With my guess, Koril believes the twins were created purely by the Force (Thread), but Aniseya actually paid Kaminoans to create clone embryos - which she then implanted with Force telekinesis. This would reflect how real life IVF is very expensive, so most couples using IVF can only afford to try it once. One partner carries the pregnancy; the other provides the eggs. They implant multiple embryos, and if you're lucky one or two survive. That's why IVF so often results in twins. It's just that, to me, the parallels with real life IVF are so strong. And for many lesbian couples, IVF is indeed "a miracle". And if this is "political", it's not Leslie Headland's fault that the Southern Baptist Convention chose this week to formally oppose IVF. It's not her fault that the Republicans in congress decided to vote against protecting IVF this week.

I’m always kinda bad at distinguishing themes when the shows just start, thanks for getting me to recognize them as always! 💪

*11 years But I definitely agree. I'm afraid they'll use her as an example like, "Look, characters can die from a lightsaber stab." That would be a direct insult to fans and a lack of respect for Barriss because it would totaly ruin her potential. Plus, her "death" is weak and left everyone confused with speculations instead of tears.

"Return to Tatooine" @1m24s from Attack of the Clones - happens a few times i think but in this instance it's when the Lars are telling Anakin his mom has been captured. Lucasfilm seems to have a temp track team that have labeled this motif as the the temp track for mystery or intrigue. It even popped up in The Rise of Skywalker too - i think when ghost Luke was talking with Rey.

transposed, not transform

You single-handedly make being a composer completely and utterly worth it. To think someone appreciates the art and direction of emotion as much as you do is truly inspiring. Keep up the awesome work, subscribed ❤

Wow I’m blown away

US history in a nutshell 😂😂😂😂

I always enjoyed choir singing in Star Wars music, but only sparingly so. It makes it more powerful. Duel of the Fates and the Emperors theme being my favorite.

What is this? movie/series

So you didnt ever but that time!

I disagree concerning music sounding similar to the Kamino-theme. At least I believe any similarity is purely conicidental. Abels might have listened to a whole lot of Williams in order to get in the right mood? Some times a fragment of music just get stuck in your head and you cannot trace it? The GOAT himself (Williams) borrows from Tchaikovsky, Holst and a bunch of others, probably by accident. Brinell ripped off Philip Glass (that was blatant!). And as far as I remember, you yourself pointed to unintentional similarities between Kylo's theme and Grogu's? Whenever I hear "nervous" strings in StarWars I listen for the DuelOfTheFates backbeat. Sometimes I think I hear it. (And don't even get me started on pure laziness like what Kiner did with Hera's theme.)

Thanks so much for the breakdowns of when Osha's and Mae's themes come in! I'm finding it difficult to pick them out because I'm not so familiar with them yet. Anyway, I'm really not an expert in Star Wars lore, but I kinda feel like this is too early for Plagueis. I've heard that the time frame could be appropriate for the Bith Sith Tenebrous. Honestly though, the pictures I've seen on the internet of Darth Tenebrous kinda look a bit silly. I'm all for Bith representation, but it's just really hard to take his look seriously as an ominous and mysterious dark master. So, I could see them deciding to make Darth Tenebrous a master of Force illusion making him appear human. Or maybe they just decide that a Bith Sith Lord just doesn't work on screen.

HIGHLY ANTICIPATED XD

girl power taking down the patriarchy. Kathleen Kennedy is salivating.

the theme for Osha reminds me of the first few notes of Anakin's Betrayal

Abels seems very good at doing that John Williams Star Wars sound we love :) I immediately said "hey that's the coruscant arrival music from The Phantom Menace" while watching the show. hopefully there's not too much temp-tracking. I love the overall tone. I wish the end credits real hammered in a specific theme right away to help it solidify in our brains like with other Star Wars shows like Kenobi. I think the main theme that (plays over the Acolyte logo) sounds a bit too close to Kylo's theme but it's still good.

in my experience they usually let go of disputed vids after 30 days. Also try to never play the music for more than 25 secs uninterrupted

'The highly anticipated...' I know you're completely full of it now. This is by far the largest pile of garbage I've seen on screen since I saw a national geographic documentary on new york city.

Maybe that melody like Kamino's refers to the sin of the Jedi
