I'm glad to see how much Kevin Kiner has progressed, even from the beginning of The Clone Wars. If you listen to his Rebels tracks, they're phenomenal, standing up there with some of Williams' best works in Star Wars (look up Journey Into the Star Cluster).

[@8114梦见]

I love journey into the star cluster. First time I heard it I was just enthralled with the contrast it provided to the other music

[@goosemaster1654]

Ive been rewatch rebels and i replayed that scence several times cuz it was so good

[@ajmaldonado9720]

Ashoka’s theme is one of the best

[@ajmaldonado9720]

Now that we’ve seen Ashoka grow it feels nostalgic, her theme really is great

[@ncard00]

Can’t wait to hear the music for the ahsoka show, which the Kiner’s are also doing, and then listen to the complete score on it’s own afterwards.

[@a-mellowtea]

Said it before, and I'll say it again - Kevin Kiner is a genius.

[@Khanthiilas]

i am truly grateful to George Lucas and all the staff that made all of this possible i mean Star Wars has been a 38 year part of my life and its a dream come true and the music is a big part of that.

[@bluevortexpng1211]

TCW has some of my favorite Star Wars music of all time, I especially love “Ahsoka Leaves”, “The Clones”, “Anakin and Padmé”, “Maul, Savage, and Vizla”, and “Obi-Wan and Satine” It also has some of the weirdest tracks. If you look through some of the early unreleased tracks, you find things like Indian pop music and an electric guitar over strings.

[@e.martinez5999]

Alicia Qu where do you find the unreleased stuff?

[@iceomistar4302]

Just look on KZbin

[@enderdrag6491]

@@e.martinez5999 A lot of it has been released unofficially on the different composer's websites and also much of the early season one and two music was reused in many videogames at the time (such as Republic Heroes, Clone Wars Adventures, LEGO Star Wars III and a couple others)

[@CubingEncoded]

Kevin Kiners Savage opress theme matches up to some of johns great works

[@iceomistar4302]

I had hoped Gordy Haab would use it for the Dathomir tracks for Jedi Fallen order, I like his music I do, but he tries too hard to emulate Williams and sometimes just quotes tracks verbatim.

[@Stormtrooper--dx1xj]

Did you expect to hear Yularen's voice at 0:45 ?

[@pinheadlarry8688]

Kiner’s Clone Wars score was amazing, honestly was on Williams’ level imo. He’s such an underrated composer tbh.

[@welding_wino]

Why has this man not done one of the new movies yet? He would have been perfect for Rogue One.

[@mathewleon7839]

Kiner’s Clone Wars music is just as much part of my childhood as John William’s is. That’s an very very high compliment.

[@generalskywalker8203]

Ahsoka's theme is amazing!!! it sounds so failure but I couldn't place it until I watched this!

[@bluemercy8127]

The medley of Ashoka’s Theme is familiar to the choir at the beginning of Duel of the Fates, I couldn’t place it until I hummed the two and was like WOW! Those are like the same; I like both of them very much

[@StarWarsStory]

Maul And Savage Duel Palpatine Is one of Kiner's Best in my humble opinion. Up there with Duel Of The Fates...

[@maxlyle324]

While playing Leia’s theme in my youth orchestra, I noticed that one of the very small parts that the trombone’s had was three notes that was the start Ahsoka’s theme in the key of C major

[@satyagrahaa]

Kevin Kiner is soooo underrated. Each and every piece he made for clone wars is great. No matter if he uses a classical orchestra in the style of John Williams, samples the Dracula theme or gives clone wars a fresh touch with techno beats and electric guitars. His music is some of the best within the Star Wars universe

[@SGTRandleOneOne]

I know this isn't shocking but I always love the way other composers and musicians talk about John Williams. He is talked about with so much respect.

[@castielffboi]

This show and it's themes are my childhood, god dammit.

[@dichse2157]

Nice too see, most of the Prague symphony orchestra are still there, npw playing the GoT symphpny..

[@iceomistar4302]

Lookup Tadlow music, they do some great re-recordings of Jerry Goldsmith's soundtracks.

[@legodude146]

This videos fucking great but the montage at the end got some of the tracks mixed up like they had the pirate theme over bombad jedi but hey whatever the scores fantastic, on my opinion it’s on par with the movies themselves.

[@Orangulas]

Amazing score. Star Wars, but with a twist!

[@pxlspace8253]

that switch at 0:44 absolutely nails it!

[@iceomistar4302]

The Prague philharmonic, their recordings have always sounded a little dry and sharp, they should have used a London Chamber group, but Prague and Budapest are the cheapest. Kevin Kiner is a good composer though.

[@walterallen9188]

“ Ahsoka leaves the jedi order “ has one of the best scores in modern star wars.

[@envrie9423]

Kevin is incredibly intentional with his music. This makes me wanna study & write & make mockups & produce & practice & study some more haha

[@silvy3047]

Its a shame they didn't use any of the middle eastern theme outside of the movie

[@matthewmatthew981]

5:30 F in the chat for that guy's head phones.

[@Gojirawars03]

Yo, Kit Fisto Duels Grievous is such a great track.

[@Rambit]

Kevin's come a long way from scoring CSI:Miami to Star Wars

[@Vandal_Hawk63]

Kevin kiner deserves the title of the new John Williams. He's a great composer.

[@anapaola7260]

I love this

[@englishyouwithcida2338]

I simply LOVE the percussion!!!!

[@adityasharma6579]

hondo's palace theme is an indian song

[@jenkinsfamily2229]

This man absolutely went hard and hired this gigantic orchestra

[@dom1091]

They found the perfect guy

[@ParagonBondOO7]

For the life of me, I always thought the score to this series was made with synthetic instruments. The more you know I guess!

[@SirYodaJedi]

I think some of it still was, particularly the OPs and EDs for several early episodes.

[@SebaSuperR7]

A galaxy divided!

[@jodibarker4795]

I play in a band so I fangirled at the and playing. I mean, wow.

[@matthewmatthew981]

9:40 SAD KURT HEINECKE NOISES

[@russlimm]

“A GALAXY DIVIDED!”

[@jorgegabrielgonzalez8186]

0:29 love this part

[@majk173]

To se nahrávalo v Praze ??? Paráda !! :)

[@joda7697]

Damn i never really paid attention to the bgm in clone wars, but thinking back yeah it's really special!

[@TacticaLLR]

Great

[@matthewmatthew981]

Never have i heard more Tuba sound from within a Star Wars soundtrack as i have heard today.

[@ispilloil]

Can't believe it was a live orchestra

[@SierahtheDaring]

The music in clone wars is soooooo good

[@Luke-hi1fp]

That theme is my childhood

[@swarceproducions]

Just seeing Rogue One their music was horrible in that movie. This is such a nice change of pace to see the effort and creative music

[@ianli3027]

Really? I thought the music was fine.

[@chiefpiestudios]

I thought the music was good

[@blw1138]

Are you kidding? Rogue One’s score was fantastic!

[@aabrahamjerry6285]

It was nice. Combination of old star war film music with new tone and style .

[@kmacdiddy1]

I thought so for a while then I grew to love it as much as the originals. The music at the end is arguably some of the best in SW... it's really beautiful when they die in the blast, transitioning to the terrifying theme at the end with vader. I love the Clones theme in Clone Wars. It really grew on me, so happy to hear it in Rebels. Great work on Clone Wars - Filoni, Kiner, all the voice actors, writers, animators. And so cool to see the voice actors actually in Mandolorian, great idea Filoni/Favreau

[@thisissostupidliterallywhy]

I wish they had Kevin Kiner make the music for the Mandalorian and the other live action shows honestly

[@2balls1nut]

He's such an overlooked talent that really helped push this series to the great heights it's achieved.
