    Ok. So. I'd been a fan of SW for years before realising that one of the major appeals for me was the soundtrack. Ep IV and V in particular had music scores that became the soundtrack to my own life and some of those themes and motifs are as precious to me as the characters, locations and stories themselves.

    God bless you, Mr Williams!

    I've started this thread so we can speculate on what themes we expect to be revisited in TFA, but also so we can post our own soundtrack track lists based on what we know so far. Let's assume there will be 12 tracks for simplicity: what do you think they'll be called, what characters/events/images will be referenced in the track names?

    Obviously I'd expect variations on the main theme and possibly some variation of Binary Sunset. The Imperial March will doubtlessly get a treatment as too, I think, will the awesome theme that accompanies the rebel fleet's jump to light speed in ROTJ (I think it's called "Into the Trap"?)

    So, my 12 track titles:
    1. Main title and Ship graveyard
    2. Infernal rage (sacking of the village)
    3. The trader and the trooper
    4. Pirates cove / Scum and villainy
    5. Visions (Maz's theme)
    6. Vader's shadow (Kylo Ren's theme)
    7. Alone in the forest
    8. Lost hope (Luke's theme revisited)
    9. First order parade
    10. Heartbreaking decision (Leia's theme revisited)
    11. Storming the castle
    12. This weapon is your life and Finale
    You know you can do better.... ;)

    I totally forgot that the soundtrack always drops before the movie! I remember buying the soundtracks before the prequels were released and then listening, reading the track titles, and imagining the scenes from the movie. I loved that!! Can't wait for this!

    (Of course with the prequels often what I imagined was cooler than the actual movies... especially the conclusion of the Obi/Anakin duel, which I incorrectly paired with the track "Anakin's Dark Deeds" because the climactic swell (3:13) reminded me of the swell that happens in Jedi after Vader says "then perhaps she will" ("The Battle of Endor II" - 4:48), which is followed by some of the most powerful music ever written IMO. I so wanted that scene in ROTS to mirror the scene in Jedi. I still sometimes listen to that track from ROTS and imagine what could have been...)
