Go Behind The Scenes of John Williams' STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS Score

Like most of you, I really enjoyed Star Wars: The Force Awakens...for the most part. But as much as I love John Williams, the film's score was one of the weaker elements of the experience for me. It just didn't stand out in the same way that it did in the original trilogy, or even the prequels ("Duel of the Fates" is one of the coolest pieces of music in a bad movie, ever). It had a handful of decent moments, but I was disappointed that we didn't get iconic and memorable themes for the new characters. Maybe it's just me, though — Williams received his 50th nomination for an Academy Award for his work, and we'll find out this Sunday if he walks away with a win.

In a new video, Williams talks about his mentality of creating the music for the film and takes us behind the scenes of the recording process, which included appearances by director J.J. Abrams and stars John Boyega and Daisy Ridley.
