This past weekend at Wondercon (in Anaheim, California), executive producer Dave Filoni officially
announced Kevin Kiner as the composer and scorer of the new Star WarsTV show: Star Wars Rebels.
Furthermore, the Kiner’s Rebels theme tune was played to the
Wondercon audience at the “Behind the Scenes of Star Wars Rebels”
panel. The score was a vivid resemblance to John Williams’ force
theme and the show’s primary themes will assimilate antecedent
William’s scores from Star Wars: A New Hope,
delineating an old trilogy ubiquitous to the television show.
The
announcement is certainly a welcome one. Kevin Kiner deserves the
opportunity to score another Star Wars television show following his
vivid achievements in prior television shows, such as CSI Miami,
Bond: Goldeneye 007, but most notably his composition on Star
Wars: The Clone Wars, in which he produced
wonderful and fantastic themes on the Star Wars series. The brilliant
scores included a proliferation of orchestral instruments (namely
Anakin wants her Alive,
Battle of Christophsis
and Slick Captured),
along with electronic and rock instrumentals such as Ashoka
is Captured and Coruscant
Runner. These soundtracks, undoubtedly,
consist of Kiner’s own magical audio touch, yet there are also
vivid echoes to John William’s foregoing scores which should enable
fans to perpetuate confidence in Kevin Kiner’s role on Rebels,
fundamentally illustrated already in the score for the Star
Wars: Rebels main theme.
In
short summary, the declaration from the Rebels team about Kiner’s
appointment will be met with praise from many quarters across Star
Wars fandom. The agglomerate team is certainly shaping up to emulate
a resembling cast to the popular Clone Wars series and therefore this
announcement amalgamated with the new space battle clip released from
Wondercon (stunningly animated it must be said) will certainly
enhanced expectations and interest for the show. Rebels
is certainly shaping up to be a fantastic
series.
