In my opinion, The Mandalorian soundtrack was the most important in Star Wars history since the first movie. John Williams is leaving the franchise, and anyone who tries to be like him is only going to fail. The Mandalorian was the first SW OST to take on its own style and run with it. It took me some adjusting but now I’m absolutely in love with this OST. I believe he’s paved the way for more unique and interesting OSTs in Star Wars films, so that composers don’t have to be tied down just trying to replicate John Williams masterpieces.

Now if they could just bring in Bear McCreary somehow to the Star Wars Universe......

As a musician myself listening to the Mandalorian soundtrack this popped into my mind: The last composer who was able to unfold simplicity to such beautiful complexity was Ludwig van Beethoven. All these ornaments, all these hints, enriching and never destroying, supporting a western-style space opera, are simply wonderful. It supports the story and it's standing for itself. Funny thing is that John Williams with his incredibly creative melodies is truly the Mozart of film music. Ludwig "van" Göransson is a worthy successor.

It's actually hard to say. Kevin Kiner, John Powell, Michael Giacchino have amazing Star Wars Scores too. But the one thing that separates them from Ludwig is that he never used the force theme or a familiar them from star wars. The entire series music was his own, he never mixed in a Familiar Star Wars theme. That's why when hearing his theme for the First time it was so different, and it took some time to get used to because it almost didn't even feel like a star wars theme.

His ability to stray from the classic Star Wars score by John Williams and going into something completely different while still maintaining the spirit of Star Wars with an added western feel is just incredible!!!

The start of this video has the same feel as when Mr. Tumnus put Lucy to sleep in Narnia haha

[@turkeydinnerchewie2499]

I remember the day after the first episode came out, I listened to this song on a loop as I walked around my college campus. When I was leaving one of the dining areas, I held the door open for someone behind me. The song was at 1:34 as I walked away acting like I was a noble gunslinger that saved a small western town from bandits. Hadn’t felt that badass in years.

[@EobardKhan]

That's my favourite part of the score. Space Cowboy feels.

For those interested, Disney Plus has a series that goes behind the scenes of Mando season 1 and there was an episode dedicated to the music alone. It’s an excellent watch, either episode 6 or 7.

The best Star Wars theme after John Williams. Well done Ludwig Göransson

[@artofcodeystevenson7758]

Ludwig Göransson is a legend.

[@grimprime0158]

Even better, he’s still rising too. I truly feel blessed to be alive now. I’d thing he’s worthy of Williams legacy.

[@micahjohansson7573]

I love how the music is fresh, western-like and still honors the legacy of John Williams. I'm in love of the Mandalorian theme. Very Morricone in my perspective.

This theme has like everything in it. A bit of Western, a bit of a march kind of feel for Mando's warrior heritage, Star Wars classic fanfare kind of thing, a bit of sci-fi in the synths. Such amazing work by everyone involved in this show

Never thought I'd see the day that I would witness Star Wars releasing a music video. This is. Fantastic. and everything I never thought it could be.

[@prestonfernandes2071]

Yeah me too. We have seen Videos dedicated to Star wars Composers Explaining how they composed their music. But we never actually seen a Actual Music Video from Star Wars. The Cinematography and Editing is this video is so amazing and they even took the advantage of using the tech from the Mandolarian like the Background Screens. Star Wars really should make more Music Video. Their Expertises in making Films really helps alot in making a good Music Video.

[@aathmpsn]

@@prestonfernandes2071 this was clearly in the works during production, there were clips in the BTS of Mando showing Ludwig on some of these sets, now it makes sense, while the sets are up in the volume, shoot a few different takes of him performing the song and piece it together at the end! Freaking awesome to see.

[@aathmpsn]

@@terone those are music montages. This was specifically filmed during production and edited to be a music video you'd see released from an artist. I adored those videos during my childhood, but no this is different, it's legitimately a music video.

[@AngeloBarovierSD]

@@aathmpsn Montage music videos made from existing footage are legitimately music videos. What you mean is: This has original footage shot _for_ the music video. (And that's still not a first for Star Wars.)

[@aathmpsn]

@@AngeloBarovierSD sure, they might be categorized similarly, but you said it, this is the first original music video. Which is my point, I never thought I'd see them PRODUCE a music video. Those prequel montage videos are incredibly emotional and impactful, arguably more so than this, but I'm saying I never thought I'd see them produce a music video you'd end up seeing on VEVO or something. But man, this title is a horrible misrepresentation. I thought this was like an interview or something hahah.

[@jdstudios1912]

If there's one thing star wars has never failed to blow out of the park every time it's the music.

[@Dabrinka]

The main theme (Guitar) is so fitting for the show, it really captivates the "Lower decks" feeling. The stakes are lower, but the personal threat is greater. BUT THEN THE ORCHESTRAL FANFARE COMES!!!! IT BLASTS LIKE A STORM! I CRY EVERY TIME I HEAR IT! IT'S SO TRIUMPHANT! And then it simmers down again, back into the shadows.

[@SimonMarchand2015]

Writing music for Star Wars has to be one of the most challenging gigs a musicican/composer can get. John Williams has written history, can I can't imagine how stressful it must be to have to walk in his tracks. Yet, Ludwig Göransson managed not only to create an amazing OST for this universe, he gave it a distinct flavor, a personal touch that completely works. It fits, while being completely different. Others have tried to emulate what John Williams was doing with some level of success (Michael Giacchino did a decent job with Rogue one, as John Powell for Solo or even Jeremy Soule with KOTOR), but they didn'T sound "personal" in my opinion. So good job on The Mandalorian, I enjoyed every minute of it! :)
