Questions:
01 - What as it like the first time you met George Lucas? What were your impressions of him and of the first Star Wars movie? (1:10)
02 - George Lucas says that, when he works with you, he is able to make what are, in essence, silent movies. What does he mean by that? And what does it mean to you as a composer to work with someone with that sort of sensibility? (1:44)
03 - How important is the music in the Star Wars movies? How big a role does that create for you as the person responsible for bringing the music to these films? (1:18)
04 - It must be quite a different experience to work with a director like Lucas - a moviemaker who tries to make in sort of a classical style. (0:28)
05 - Can you describe how the process works between you and George Lucas? At what point to do you get involved with a new Star Wars movie and how do you two work together? (1:37)
06 - A lot of great artists and film-makers aren't musicians, and they have a hard time describing what they want in musical terms. How do you go about figuring out what kind of music a director is looking for a film? (1:06)
07 - How would you say the music in this new film is different from the first Star Wars films - and how is it the same? And wasn't it kind of intimidating to try and equal what you did twenty years ago? (2:29)
