I am one of the kids who grew up on the originals. Watching the Mandalorian 40 years later....makes me feel like a child again. I still remember the joy of the opening scenes because we waited...4 YEARS!!!! for George Lucas to make a new Star Wars movie back then.
@@elrichgomes4690 Haha yes. Maybe he means 40 years after he was born. And that the prequel trilogy films were released three years apart from each other, not four. I was one of the kids who grew up with the original trilogy. So after ROTJ, we had to wait SIXTEEN years for a new movie. Those were the dark times.
In my opinion, The Mandalorian soundtrack was the most important in Star Wars history since the first movie. John Williams is leaving the franchise, and anyone who tries to be like him is only going to fail. The Mandalorian was the first SW OST to take on its own style and run with it. It took me some adjusting but now I’m absolutely in love with this OST. I believe he’s paved the way for more unique and interesting OSTs in Star Wars films, so that composers don’t have to be tied down just trying to replicate John Williams masterpieces.
It's a good track but I feel the show has so little to do with star wars and that's what makes it good. This song doesn't scream star wars it screams adventure.
@@antonov5428 i think this song is perfect for The Mandalorian, but not star wars in general. It has some kind of wild west cowboy theme but also has a star wars vibe in the song.
It's probably the best theme of any show or soundtrack ever. He embodied the character of the Mandaloroan and the whole sequence of the show in this piece. Amazing
I thought this would be like a documentary of Ludwig breaking down the music, but instead its just 3 and a half minutes of him vibing I'm fine with that, you do you
Search youtube for "How 'The Mandalorian' Score Found The New 'Star Wars' Sound" the video is on Variety's channel. He breaks it down in this video, in the same sort of style as Genius' "Behind The Beat" videos.
This guy went from producing hip hop and electronically heavy tracks in music to creating an incredibly memorable score for one of the best tv series on Disney plus. Mad respect for this genius!!
The Mandalorian is essentially a wild west film set in space, and the show has portrayed Mando in a very western/cowboy/ranger style, but if it weren't for Göransson's score then I don't think the atmosphere would have never been as clear as it is now. He really created something amazing!
I wasn’t alive when John Williams was rising I wasn’t old enough to follow the riser of Hanz Zimmer At 12 years of age I’m perfect to witness the rise of Ludwig Goransson
I think the score for The Mandalorian works so well is because it does not rely on any John Williams work and is its own thing. Its a breath of fresh air in Star Wars much like the show.
uhmmmm ... your comment is true but also unfair ... I think both are excellent geniuses on their way. Also, it is unquestionable the influence of J.W. on this young musician work. As a matter or fact i grew up with J.W. music (I am an old dude) and i LOVE the work of Ludwig too !!!! Took me back to me the original saga this mandelorian !! Love it !
@@perrooceaniko2005 well yes but what jtjr is trying ti say is that Ludwigs work is great because it can stand on its own. Some pieces are influenced by Williams because theyre used at times ehere the story fits into the greater universe of Star Wars, but even then its still a breath of fresh air in a franchise that normally is dominated hy Williams made work. Williams pieces are terrific but even then we still want new now and then
@@baccaismemebob2603 anyway my friend, both are amazing. .... Ludwing has a wonderful composition here ... we all wish more of this in the future and J William.... he is already a legend.
In my opinion this is one of the best theme songs of all time. For his advanced mind this is perhaps just a succinctly written song, for me it is a life success. 4 minutes of bundled completion. So perfect.
@@davidonyt2298 WIlliams score deserves to be in the OG trilogy and the prequels, movies that actually felt like Star Wars. This is the music new-school star wars, music that represents what Star Wars was and will be, the sequels should be left behind to gather dust.
Yeah the score is good but it isn't the only thing that ensures the shows success. Some really talented people brought this together it's a team effort
I think it's because of the diversity, the combination between more vintage/western sounds with modern ones, which perfectly represents Star Wars. I'm in love with this soundtrack!
@@jamilecrocodile718 Definitely the diversity. It's oddities in instrument choices matches perfectly with the alien inhabited universe they all live in.

Now if they could just bring in Bear McCreary somehow to the Star Wars Universe......

I'm surprised you like the show, after Last jedi and TCW I thought you and the rest of the Council gave up on Star Wars entirely, to be honest the old EU books like Bounty Hunter and the Jango fett Saga were more interesting, along with the KOTOR Mandalorian wars.
It's actually hard to say. Kevin Kiner, John Powell, Michael Giacchino have amazing Star Wars Scores too. But the one thing that separates them from Ludwig is that he never used the force theme or a familiar them from star wars. The entire series music was his own, he never mixed in a Familiar Star Wars theme. That's why when hearing his theme for the First time it was so different, and it took some time to get used to because it almost didn't even feel like a star wars theme.
Awe inspiring! Not many artists can step into the shoes of a legend and come away with a piece of work just as memorable as the legend's original. What a talent!
Agreed. The art story boards were such an incredible touch. I look forward to the end of every episode. Also to note what differences exist between the art and live action.
His ability to stray from the classic Star Wars score by John Williams and going into something completely different while still maintaining the spirit of Star Wars with an added western feel is just incredible!!!
This theme has like everything in it. A bit of Western, a bit of a march kind of feel for Mando's warrior heritage, Star Wars classic fanfare kind of thing, a bit of sci-fi in the synths. Such amazing work by everyone involved in this show
I love how the music is fresh, western-like and still honors the legacy of John Williams. I'm in love of the Mandalorian theme. Very Morricone in my perspective.
Yeah me too. We have seen Videos dedicated to Star wars Composers Explaining how they composed their music. But we never actually seen a Actual Music Video from Star Wars. The Cinematography and Editing is this video is so amazing and they even took the advantage of using the tech from the Mandolarian like the Background Screens. Star Wars really should make more Music Video. Their Expertises in making Films really helps alot in making a good Music Video.
@@prestonfernandes2071 this was clearly in the works during production, there were clips in the BTS of Mando showing Ludwig on some of these sets, now it makes sense, while the sets are up in the volume, shoot a few different takes of him performing the song and piece it together at the end! Freaking awesome to see.
@@terone those are music montages. This was specifically filmed during production and edited to be a music video you'd see released from an artist. I adored those videos during my childhood, but no this is different, it's legitimately a music video.
@@aathmpsn Montage music videos made from existing footage are legitimately music videos. What you mean is: This has original footage shot _for_ the music video. (And that's still not a first for Star Wars.)
@@AngeloBarovierSD sure, they might be categorized similarly, but you said it, this is the first original music video. Which is my point, I never thought I'd see them PRODUCE a music video. Those prequel montage videos are incredibly emotional and impactful, arguably more so than this, but I'm saying I never thought I'd see them produce a music video you'd end up seeing on VEVO or something. But man, this title is a horrible misrepresentation. I thought this was like an interview or something hahah.
As a musician myself listening to the Mandalorian soundtrack this popped into my mind: The last composer who was able to unfold simplicity to such beautiful complexity was Ludwig van Beethoven. All these ornaments, all these hints, enriching and never destroying, supporting a western-style space opera, are simply wonderful. It supports the story and it's standing for itself. Funny thing is that John Williams with his incredibly creative melodies is truly the Mozart of film music. Ludwig "van" Göransson is a worthy successor.
NO. Beethoven was deaf when he wrote the last piece. Probably had a rough life. This guy plays drums in his pyjamas and has WAAAAAAYYYYYYYY better life and musical conditions.
I remember the day after the first episode came out, I listened to this song on a loop as I walked around my college campus. When I was leaving one of the dining areas, I held the door open for someone behind me. The song was at 1:34 as I walked away acting like I was a noble gunslinger that saved a small western town from bandits. Hadn’t felt that badass in years.
For those interested, Disney Plus has a series that goes behind the scenes of Mando season 1 and there was an episode dedicated to the music alone. It’s an excellent watch, either episode 6 or 7.
This is so much fun to watch. I teach elementary music class and my students are going to love this! Thank you for taking us through the process of layering the instruments to produce the final sound. This is one additional thing I love about my job, introducing different artists/ composers to my students!
I was thinking that they must be shot this "music video" inside the LED cage they used for Mandalorian and LO AND BEHOLD! They actually did. I'm still amazed by these piece of tech.
They are using this amazing technology on the kenobi series too. I didn't even notice how seemless the backgrounds were.21st century background projection This is the way
Writing music for Star Wars has to be one of the most challenging gigs a musicican/composer can get. John Williams has written history, can I can't imagine how stressful it must be to have to walk in his tracks. Yet, Ludwig Göransson managed not only to create an amazing OST for this universe, he gave it a distinct flavor, a personal touch that completely works. It fits, while being completely different. Others have tried to emulate what John Williams was doing with some level of success (Michael Giacchino did a decent job with Rogue one, as John Powell for Solo or even Jeremy Soule with KOTOR), but they didn'T sound "personal" in my opinion. So good job on The Mandalorian, I enjoyed every minute of it! :)
I love how he went for his own thing, taking inspiration of people like the master Ennio Morricone instead of copying John Williams style. Almost every other composer that was tasked with creating an original Star Wars score tried to copy Williams and just ended up sounding like a downgraded version of what Williams could have composed. This theme, on the other hand, feels very original, fresh and still very appropriate for a Star Wars show. I love it.
But the horns in the climax are clearly inspired by Williams. Thats what makes it so great. He made Star Wars music and made it his own while honoring the past. So good.
Yeah it's basically impossible to 1-up John Williams. Alan Silvestri could probably get close. This guy was smart enough to go in a different direction.
the first time I heard him do anything was on childish gambino's redbone and that instantly made me a fan! I loved how he brought back 70s R&B vibez, but listening to black panther and and mando made respect this man so much he has also worked in hip-hop! this dude is so multi genre!!!
I could say that this series has the best soundtrack, the theme is certainly iconic and is easily stuck in the mind (in fact now I'm going to whistle it all day ), and of course. . . . . . . . . . . . *this is the way*
The score perfectly matches the themes and actions of the characters. On first hearing, I sensed that the tone and instrumentation aligned with the rhythm of the film. The metallic beating also is so right for the abundance of the metal: the head dress of the Mandalorian and his movement as well as that of the creatures.Yet the music is recognizable as uniquely belonging to Star Wars. Amazing. It speaks to the talents of the composer and musicians choice of instrumentation. Well done all!
He won an Oscar for the music of "Black Panther" . He wrote and composed the music for the new film "Tenet". He won two Grammy`s in 2019 for "Best song" and "Record of the year" for Childish Gambino`s "This is America".
He is amazing!!! The soundtracks are one of the MAJOR reasons why i like the mandalorian so much! Always looking forward for the music with each new episode
I agree. As amazing as John Williams work is, this is actually better music and much more transformative and emotional. Together though they are a pairing for the ages. You kind of need both to make a complete piece.
Simon Lynch Boba is confirmed to have a small role in season 2 and a bigger one in season 3. Yes Ashoka and Rex are rumours I’m pretty sure but I sure do hope they’re true.
This video is the best I have seen in a long long time. My most sincere congratulations. This man is too talented, Black Panther, The Mandalorian, TENET ... This is the Way.

I'm surprised you like the show, after Last jedi and TCW I thought you and the rest of the Council gave up on Star Wars entirely, to be honest the old EU books like Bounty Hunter and the Jango fett Saga were more interesting, along with the KOTOR Mandalorian wars.
Best Star Wars score composer since John Williams hands down. So fresh and so beautiful!
Joel McNeely was great too with the Shadows of the Empire OST.
It's actually hard to say. Kevin Kiner, John Powell, Michael Giacchino have amazing Star Wars Scores too. But the one thing that separates them from Ludwig is that he never used the force theme or a familiar them from star wars. The entire series music was his own, he never mixed in a Familiar Star Wars theme. That's why when hearing his theme for the First time it was so different, and it took some time to get used to because it almost didn't even feel like a star wars theme.
s2s your father would be proud is a masterpiece
What about the score from star wars fallen order, those guys are also good
Hans Zimmer? :(
Awe inspiring! Not many artists can step into the shoes of a legend and come away with a piece of work just as memorable as the legend's original. What a talent!
Such an impactful score... whenever you hear it at the credits, it makes you wanna keep them rolling just to hear the music.
don't forget the great art too! epically combined with this glorious music
@@migsbbb6380 and thats why this is the almost only credits i never skip!!!
Agreed. The art story boards were such an incredible touch. I look forward to the end of every episode. Also to note what differences exist between the art and live action.
Mando: This is the way.
Grogu: The way this is.
Genious!!!
I thought I would be cool with the name Grogu at this point, and I'm still not. I hope I can eventually.
The way of the mandalore
@@vms5163 No one pronounces it "Graw-goo" to begin with. Everyone in the show that uses it says "Grow-goo".
*coos*
I'm so obsessed with this song. I raise the volume at the end of every Mandalorian episode ❤
His ability to stray from the classic Star Wars score by John Williams and going into something completely different while still maintaining the spirit of Star Wars with an added western feel is just incredible!!!
No ones gonna talk about the luscious trap beat at the end
Right
old school to new school 808's, thats the Ludwig Classic
I need an extended remix of that beat
Where can I find this version ?
That beat made my day! 👌
"how many times have you rewatched this?"
me:
"YES"
This guy needs his own show titled:
"The Musician".
"This is the way... we play".
Edit: Wow! Thank you for the likes :D
They should do that as a filler before the grand finale
This is the way
This is the way!
"I have composed!"
Your comment justifies the existence of the UA-cam comments section :')
This theme has like everything in it. A bit of Western, a bit of a march kind of feel for Mando's warrior heritage, Star Wars classic fanfare kind of thing, a bit of sci-fi in the synths. Such amazing work by everyone involved in this show
Talented dude. He did John Williams proud with this one.
I love how the music is fresh, western-like and still honors the legacy of John Williams. I'm in love of the Mandalorian theme. Very Morricone in my perspective.
Never thought I'd see the day that I would witness Star Wars releasing a music video. This is. Fantastic. and everything I never thought it could be.
Yeah me too. We have seen Videos dedicated to Star wars Composers Explaining how they composed their music. But we never actually seen a Actual Music Video from Star Wars.
The Cinematography and Editing is this video is so amazing and they even took the advantage of using the tech from the Mandolarian like the Background Screens. Star Wars really should make more Music Video. Their Expertises in making Films really helps alot in making a good Music Video.
@@prestonfernandes2071 this was clearly in the works during production, there were clips in the BTS of Mando showing Ludwig on some of these sets, now it makes sense, while the sets are up in the volume, shoot a few different takes of him performing the song and piece it together at the end! Freaking awesome to see.
@@terone those are music montages. This was specifically filmed during production and edited to be a music video you'd see released from an artist. I adored those videos during my childhood, but no this is different, it's legitimately a music video.
@@aathmpsn Montage music videos made from existing footage are legitimately music videos.
What you mean is: This has original footage shot _for_ the music video.
(And that's still not a first for Star Wars.)
@@AngeloBarovierSD sure, they might be categorized similarly, but you said it, this is the first original music video. Which is my point, I never thought I'd see them PRODUCE a music video. Those prequel montage videos are incredibly emotional and impactful, arguably more so than this, but I'm saying I never thought I'd see them produce a music video you'd end up seeing on VEVO or something. But man, this title is a horrible misrepresentation. I thought this was like an interview or something hahah.
As a musician myself listening to the Mandalorian soundtrack this popped into my mind:
The last composer who was able to unfold simplicity to such beautiful complexity was Ludwig van Beethoven.
All these ornaments, all these hints, enriching and never destroying, supporting a western-style space opera, are simply wonderful. It supports the story and it's standing for itself.
Funny thing is that John Williams with his incredibly creative melodies is truly the Mozart of film music.
Ludwig "van" Göransson is a worthy successor.
NO. Beethoven was deaf when he wrote the last piece. Probably had a rough life. This guy plays drums in his pyjamas and has WAAAAAAYYYYYYYY better life and musical conditions.
@@koophuisN
Only the result matters unfortunately.
Ludwig Göransson is a legend.
Even better, he’s still rising too. I truly feel blessed to be alive now. I’d thing he’s worthy of Williams legacy.
I remember the day after the first episode came out, I listened to this song on a loop as I walked around my college campus. When I was leaving one of the dining areas, I held the door open for someone behind me. The song was at 1:34 as I walked away acting like I was a noble gunslinger that saved a small western town from bandits. Hadn’t felt that badass in years.
That's my favourite part of the score. Space Cowboy feels.
That’s cool
@@EobardKhanЧто за инструмент?
For those interested, Disney Plus has a series that goes behind the scenes of Mando season 1 and there was an episode dedicated to the music alone. It’s an excellent watch, either episode 6 or 7.
Yeah it's called disney gallery the mandalorian
This tune is epic.
I have spoken.
cringe last part mate
@@Y2JFan94 it will never be cringe
The Score deserves Billions of Views.
If there's one thing star wars has never failed to blow out of the park every time it's the music.
This is the coolest thing I have seen in a decade. Thank you
Disney.

@@moneybaglifts1944 I'm sure ludwig didn't direct this video..
@@moneybaglifts1944 Disney made this possible.
@@ammahname91 Ludwig composed the score
This is so much fun to watch. I teach elementary music class and my students are going to love this! Thank you for taking us through the process of layering the instruments to produce the final sound. This is one additional thing I love about my job, introducing different artists/ composers to my students!
Bruh this song is a MASTERPIECE.
I was thinking that they must be shot this "music video" inside the LED cage they used for Mandalorian and LO AND BEHOLD! They actually did.
I'm still amazed by these piece of tech.
It's called The Volume, episode 4 of the Disney Gallery goes into detail, episode 7 covers the score
They are using this amazing technology on the kenobi series too.
I didn't even notice how seemless the backgrounds were.21st century background projection
This is the way
@@kryoboy36 they should use it for every movie/ show from now on
@@bennywarren17 absolutely m8.it speeds up the process too.post production guys have been reduced to part timers now😂😂😂
It's nice to see Hollywood start to use game engines (unreal engine 4) to do the CGI for the show
I deadass never skipped the credits after an episode, not even on rewatch, just to bask in the title theme and concept arts. Truly masterful.
Writing music for Star Wars has to be one of the most challenging gigs a musicican/composer can get. John Williams has written history, can I can't imagine how stressful it must be to have to walk in his tracks. Yet, Ludwig Göransson managed not only to create an amazing OST for this universe, he gave it a distinct flavor, a personal touch that completely works. It fits, while being completely different. Others have tried to emulate what John Williams was doing with some level of success (Michael Giacchino did a decent job with Rogue one, as John Powell for Solo or even Jeremy Soule with KOTOR), but they didn'T sound "personal" in my opinion.
So good job on The Mandalorian, I enjoyed every minute of it! :)
I love how he went for his own thing, taking inspiration of people like the master Ennio Morricone instead of copying John Williams style. Almost every other composer that was tasked with creating an original Star Wars score tried to copy Williams and just ended up sounding like a downgraded version of what Williams could have composed. This theme, on the other hand, feels very original, fresh and still very appropriate for a Star Wars show. I love it.
But the horns in the climax are clearly inspired by Williams. Thats what makes it so great. He made Star Wars music and made it his own while honoring the past. So good.
Yeah it's basically impossible to 1-up John Williams. Alan Silvestri could probably get close. This guy was smart enough to go in a different direction.
the first time I heard him do anything was on childish gambino's redbone and that instantly made me a fan! I loved how he brought back 70s R&B vibez, but listening to black panther and and mando made respect this man so much he has also worked in hip-hop! this dude is so multi genre!!!
I could say that this series has the best soundtrack, the theme is certainly iconic and is easily stuck in the mind (in fact now I'm going to whistle it all day ),

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS THEME AND SHOW SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!
Ludwig Göransson is The GOAT!!! THIS IS THE WAY!!!
The score perfectly matches the themes and actions of the characters. On first hearing, I sensed that the tone and instrumentation aligned with the rhythm of the film. The metallic beating also is so right for the abundance of the metal: the head dress of the Mandalorian and his movement as well as that of the creatures.Yet the music is
recognizable as uniquely belonging to Star Wars. Amazing. It speaks to the talents of the composer and musicians choice of instrumentation. Well done all!
A seamless combination of western and galactic. Musical genius👌
This is the best music video any film composer will ever get.
He won an Oscar for the music of "Black Panther" . He wrote and composed the music for the new film "Tenet".
He won two Grammy`s in 2019 for "Best song" and "Record of the year" for Childish Gambino`s "This is America".
The perfect mix between western, galactic and old school 70s war like music
He is amazing!!! The soundtracks are one of the MAJOR reasons why i like the mandalorian so much! Always looking forward for the music with each new episode
2:52 Disney flexing their technology
thats actually epic's tech
Achraf Bouziane Meh, it’s their engine
@@achrafbouziane7802 epic?
Just wanted to thank Ludwig for giving us such an iconic sound and music for this series. When you got it you got it!
Any song thats made by Ludwig is the best
I love how Ludwig can make orchestral scoring sound so modern with the implementation of trap drums, 808s etc
This score is just as iconic as the star wars theme itself
Probably, the best Star Wars scoring ever. For me, Ludwig Goransson is a truly composer. ❤️
This The Way.
I agree. As amazing as John Williams work is, this is actually better music and much more transformative and emotional. Together though they are a pairing for the ages. You kind of need both to make a complete piece.
“He said you were the best in the parsec.”
But can you imagine? He will be the one to compose Ahsoka’s theme for the season 2 or 3. I am so *excited!*
And hopefully boba, but it’ll probably be Rex since ahsoka’s in it....
TheBluebomber875 but Boba is rumored to be in it too
How sad will you be when you realise that neither Ashoka, Boba, nor Rex are in the show, and you were misled by clickbait "news" sites?
Simon Lynch Boba is confirmed to have a small role in season 2 and a bigger one in season 3. Yes Ashoka and Rex are rumours I’m pretty sure but I sure do hope they’re true.
I can't imagine star wars universe without Ludwig's score
When you hear that theme you know something big is coming.
It is a true masterpiece. Every part of the track is unique and beautifully composed. It has real atmosphere and picture. This is definitely the way!
This guy's a musical genius. Fun fact, he also did Childish Gambino's Redbone
This video is the best I have seen in a long long time. My most sincere congratulations. This man is too talented, Black Panther, The Mandalorian, TENET ... This is the Way.
“This is Star Wars”
“No, this is the way”
"this is not Disney"
The piece is an absolute masterpiece. He's amazing.
2:15 The moment it goes into full John Williams mode.
This is awesome, any audio designer/engineer would appreciate this
Let’s appreciate the fact that this one of the best music videos ever!
The part at 2:41 just hits different, so trappy yet works so well with Star Wars
THIS IS THE WAY
Yes
this is the way buddy
