Always crucial to providing a great sound for the movie!

Very interesting! Though I guess we can't expect the score to sound like Williams, but maybe Williams-esque in the instruments he chooses for various themes?

I'm intrigued to know one of the guys involved with the first 3 scores is involved with this one for the first time since.
