They should film this properly, in 4K, with proper sound quality, and all the panels as well, instead of this handheld phone stuff.
Even at 90 years old, this man is still a genius.
Even is 51 years old
?
John does not disappoint. It works perfectly for Obi-Wan at this stage of his life.
This is more iconic than the prequel and sequels music
@@mineturdle6518 ok maybe not more than the prequels, but the sequels definitely
@@elpresadorjr.6620 oh brother…
@@D4C_Gaming Say what you want about the sequels but Kylo's, Rey's and the Resistance theme are iconic. And some tracks like Jedi Steps or Holdo's Resolve are fantastic.
@@cinevore358 Agreed.
When you think about John Williams finally composing the theme for Obi-Wan, you can realize the circle is now complete
It’s like poetry it rhymes
No, this was never the plan.
@@aamirrazak3467 oh yes
On the original 1977 soundtrack, The Force Theme was called “Ben’s Theme.”
@@pderham26 dude stop the hate and chill, if you are not watching Kenobi it’s ok, you know? But I really feel this is an very emotional and important moment, overall when you think this was made because the same John Williams wanted.
90 years old and John Williams looks great.
Shit, you are still around
By looking at him, I would guess 60s
@@iceomistar4302 Yes he's jobless. Posts his comment everywhere to get likes and subscription
doesn't look a day over 80
He is strong with the force
Don't think I've ever clicked on a video faster! Thank you John Williams ❤
Nicholas would you do a cover in the future? I think a version with the cello could be even more tragic ❤️
kk
Yay Nicholas! Can't wait to see your cover. To date my favorite cover of yours is Princess Leia's theme.
God, his hair is so white. I just... I need a good vampire to bite this man so he will live forever, because I can't think about him not being around anymore. I just cannot
I can't believe it took 45 years for Ob-Wan to get his own theme. But that was worth the wait. That was magical
The force suite was literally obi wans theme in a new hope
@@lou64444 Hmm no.. Why would Obi-Wan theme appear when Luke watch the Binary sunset ?
@@cinevore358 same reason Leia’s theme plays as Luke reacts to Ben dying in ANH; John Williams is a bit quirky with when his themes play! The Force theme was indeed originally Obi-Wan’s theme
@@lou64444 The Force theme is Luke's theme, not Obi-Wan's theme
Yes, absolutely beautiful
i'm 25, and seeing him walk with Katleen helping him because he's now 90 and everyone cheering for him made me cry instantly. I'm so gratefull to have the opportunity to see him again perform even at this stage of his life. that is just crazy. I love Star Wars so much.
You did not cry, no
KK helping him was nice.
I got to see him perform in 1979, it was amazing.
@@pderham26 i did though.... ^^ dont know why
@@Cannakin Then you should see a psychiatrist.
The greatest composer to ever live. Cheers, to John Williams 🍻
You know... Mozart also was a composer :))
I mean... Mozart lol
I mean… Beethoven lived.
@@Bayard1503 let’s ask him how he feels about that : 🎤💀
Put a speedometer on Beethoven's grave to see how fast he's spinning.
At 90, John is still the master at scoring. So glad to hear him doing something Star Wars related after episode IX.
I'm glad too but didn't he say that he would NEVER do any more music for Star Wars ??? I mean, OK, "never say never" LOL but the problem is : we will NEVER hear the... Obi-Wan Theme in... the Star Wars movies (1977, 1980, 1983, 1999, 2002, 2005) where this character is present (even for just a small "ghost" appereance in Return of the Jedi) !!! And please don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Star Wars fan and a John Williams fan since my childhood years, but, well... I'm a little confused here I must say...
There is no episode IX 😉
@@doncolor3473 yeah there was. Rise of Skywalker duh
@@billybletsos4758 I know what you mean, but that's not Star Wars 😉
@@doncolor3473 I read that Duel of the Fates was the title given to Colin Trevorrow's original script for Episode IX that was never made. I read the plot of it and I have to admit that should have been the final film of the Skywalker Saga
Incredible, John Williams NEVER disappoint !
He's the man. The legend
John Williams is fucking 90 years old, still composing absolute bangers/classics, and still up there looking completely unhinged by his age. It doesn’t get more legendary than that.
U know its good when u can feel exactly what it is. Somber with slight hope
Yes!
Like there's still so much more to be done
yeah you can really feel the weight of the monumental task Obi Wan has on his shoulders
Wtf is "somber with slight hope"?
@@pderham26 I think it’s a mistranslation from a French term. It means dark basically, with a bit of hope shinning through.
I love how this entire piece opens up on a somber 4 notes that are taken directly from the beginning of Qui-Gon's theme. Obi-wan got his start from his master, but instead of turning out to be strong and defiant like his master and his theme, his is one of a beaten down man trying desperately to survive and keep hope.
This man created the score for all of existence! It's insane how his body of works is literally ALL of my childhood...from Star Wars to Superman to ET to Indiana Jones and beyond!
Jaws as well
Don't forget Jurassic Parc lol
1941
@@errorschnansch1892 of course I didn't forget that's part of the beyond! 🤣😂
Don't forget Home Alone too.
Beautifully written and performed. Somber, yet still a glimpse of Hope for the Jedi Master.
Where the fuk is the stream for ths ? I'm on the sw youtube channel and its doing the stream of another event, crap ua-cam.com/video/swclPDFHKNk/v-deo.html
The fuck does this comment mean
@@pderham26 what do you mean? How does that not make sense?
@@pderham26 the fuck does your comment mean?
Exactly. Hope and resolve.
When that melody comes in at 2:24 😵 Can’t wait to hear how many epic ways that’s used in the show!
Nahh, this sucks. It's MCU corridor walking music.

He’s still on top of his game. This is an instant classic Star Wars theme
Take a good look guys…you’ll never see one like John Williams again. He is a Bach, a Mozart, a Beethoven. An addition to that pantheon of Masters.
intentionally or not, parts of this really, really resemble the qui-gon leitmotif from TPM. it’s like poetry
Time stamps ?
"it's like poetry" it rhymes :)
It rhymes
100% intentional . Also that run down followed by the leap in the horn melody at 1:38 is definitely a maybe-not-so-sly nod to Luke's Theme aka the main Star Wars theme
You’re right, the initial ^1 ^-3 ^2 ^5 scale degree motion is the same. Good ear !
Subtle yet direct. But I can already feel Obi Wan in this theme. A Jedi who doesn't give up easy in the dark times he's about to face
A big thank you to John Williams for delivering this to us
What a time to be alive....
The beginning is like a broken up version of the force theme. So perfect for obi wan
Right around 4:15 minutes I don’t think I’ve cried so hard in my life…. As an F Horn player many moons ago, hearing that Brass section there ….. this 52 year old was 15 again
We are living in the best star wars years right now. John still composing, Mando, grogu, obi Wan series, seeing ahsoka and Luke together.. .
?
no, Ludwig Goransson composed Mandalorian series
@@iamBlackGambit He’s saying those shows are ongoing, not that John composed for them.
@@goodshowmanythanks What do you question about this comment. Unless it’s some jumbled mess that you couldn’t imagine anyone really understand, you shouldn’t just write a question mark and nothing else.
Bro it's all terrible lmao
John doing the main theme is great yes, but everything besides Kenobi (cuz we haven't seen that yet) has been a travesty
Truly the King of Composition
Ladies and gentleman, put your hands together for the one and only John Williams, what a legend! Where would films like Star Wars, Jaws, E.T.,Raiders Of The Lost Ark,etc be without this gentleman of a Legend.
Superman, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Schindler's List
@@vincehenriquez680 I know right, the list goes on and on, what a genius of a man, so humble with it too.
I love how everyone stands up when they here his name. It’s like rising for the president, but Star Wars
What an outstanding theme for Obi-Wan.
Indeed, an Exiled Warrior in offer to Redeem Himself while he's Tormented by his Inner Demons.
I had the honor and privilege of seeing him perform at the Hollywood Bowl. It was truly a night of "Heaven on Earth."
He’s never performed his scores at the Hollywood Bowl. Several orchestras have while he just stood on a podium waving his hands around.
Man, the Kenobi Theme is *so good*. Feels like Maestro Williams was just waiting for the opportunity to finally be able to show it to the world for years and years.
He still has his Jedi ability with a crowd. Everyone is chatting, he simply waves his hand and the whole crowd goes dead silent. 😉😂. The man is a genius. Always and forever.
90 years strong - and still creating incredible symphonic film scores. John Williams is a Jedi himself.
…you realize that this was composed for a TV show, right?
Possibly the last piece of Star Wars music we'll ever get from the master 🥲
we must treasure it
Sadly, it might be considering his age. I hope i will be wrong and he will be involved with another project but , i don't know .
Maybe we will get something for Andor and the other stuff in the works. Music is usually done way before the show is finished bring made. Or in the works at least.
@@KhalKatana not true.
@@KhalKatana thats not true lol, the score is one of the last things they do in post-production, the composer lays down the tracks on a fully cut and edited slate that contains only special effects sound and dialogue.
Incredible. Always gets me emotional hearing music John has composed.
Try playing it. I have played trombone in a university band on professionally arranged scores of multiple pieces from Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Olympic Fanfare, Far & Away, Jurassic Park, Hook, ET & Close Encounters. As a musician, you play his music differently. You hold yourself a little straighter, you hit the attack a little cleaner. In everything you do, you strive to make yourself worthy of the music you have the privilege to play. Even when we played The Throne Room from New Hope in high school, you feel proud to be playing the music.
You must be pretty emotional Mrs James Miller.
John Williams is by far the greatest composer alive! A true genius!👍
Mr.John Williams aka the Legend behind the music of Star Wars
Obi Wan's life was always so difficult... Not a lot of happiness... But so heroic, always the knight... It suits him perfectly... One tiny dust fell in my eyes... Don't know why... Huahuahuahua!
True.. Very True
I hate dust in my eyes. It's course and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere... in my eyes.
@@commandercaptain4664 😄love it
He is what a jedi should be, he follows the jedi code, respect his master, wiser and passionate but also have some class humours and not a boring one. He is the second master quin gon jin, what Reva said in the series is true "he is the last amber of the jedi master".
Crazy to think how many iconic scores he's composed. There will never be another like him and the late great Ennio Morricone (even though my favourite score came from neither of the two, but from Howard Shore).
Lord of the rings?
@@shindark6682 you know it :)
iam not sure i dont find much new stuff on the sun from Lord of teh rings sorry to say
I couldn't care less about this show, but John Williams never ceases to amaze me with his ability to endlessly craft wonderful music themes.
90+ years old and still churning out golden musical perfection!
I love that Obi-Wan's theme is basically the starting pitch of the chorus for the Star Wars main theme to symbolize the coming dawn that will eventually lead to A New Hope and beyond.
Notice that Kenobi delivered Luke to Owen and Beru when the twin suns set. In A New Hope, they were rising when Luke is grown up.
Amazing. Haunting. Epic. This theme tells all of Obi-Wan's story
I like this. It's more slowed compared to the version we got hear in the show and in many other youtube covers. It's like each note is being squeezed to give their all, fitting for a broken man like obi-wan.
Damn this is beautiful. I hear so many other Star Wars motifs in this - Luke/force, Qui Gon, even some hints of his TLJ soundtrack. This man will forever be an absolute legend.
John is 90 years old. These are some of his final works of art. Cherish them and all he has created. Thank you John.
Came back after the season finale and this now hits different. John Williams is a living treasure and legend.
I’m loving this! I couldn’t get in there but thanks for the upload!
kkk
Yooooo AD I love your edits! They are the best :) Especially loved that ultimate trailer... so good
Hey man, would be really great if you could stop using clickbait titles for your edits, and misleading people into thinking they're official trailers. Honor your own art and own it, don't use Disney as a means to get your work out there. Rep yourself, not them.
@@feshpince7181 I understand your issues :) my work has been seen by several people in the industry including Disney. As a result I’ve gotten an insane amount of work and opportunity. Sorry it offends you. I try to make it a pleasant surprise offering high quality work. Thanks.
I don't think I'll ever recover when he's gone.
This great Jedi master.
At around 90. Still composing and conducting. Even he came back for the ride.
What an absolute legend!!!!
Wow goosebumps. Feels so much like obi wan even Alec Guinness. Maybe his best piece since Rey’s Theme.
Aaaaand I'm crying like a baby. Magnificent.
You aren't, no
Same! It's so powerful
@@SaltySev Right??
This is such an incredibly nuanced piece of music, pulling motif from so many of his past scores, while still being totally original. I love it!
Fiddler On The Roof (adapted score), JAWS, STAR WARS, SUPERMAN (1978), INDIANA JONES, JURASSIC PARK, SCHINDLER'S LIST, A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE...John Williams is a legend.
Just as Obi-Wan resembles Qui-Gon yet walks his own path, their respective themes start out very similar yet take us on different - though connected - emotional journeys. How fitting!
What a legend this man is, also the higher tempo part of the theme slaps
2:25 is where it kicks in ya'll! Listen to it! Dear god, you capturing the Kenobi Theme perform LIVE for us! Holy Shit!! Thank you so much👍🙏🙏😊
I was lucky enough to see him live in Boston back in 2014. Sat front and center, close enough to hand him his baton. Magical.
The new theme for Obi-Wan is beautiful
Music fitting for Obi-Wan - gravitas, powerful, iconic. Awesome to see this added to the Star Wars catalog.
hope they don't just use this for the credits of each episode. Sounds great!
The official recording by JW will be. However, Natalie Holt is utilizing it throughout the series.
It’ll probably be used like how they do it in Mando
This man deserves every award for music. Grammy, Oscar, all of it. All of it!!!!! All of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guy knocks it out the park again. This song has been in my head since I heard it.
Even at 90 years old, John Williams is brilliant!
My mom gave me the double LP of the Empire Strikes Back on my 5th birthday. This is the start of my love for movie scores and classical music. Thank you John Williams. You impacted my life without knowing me. I can never thank you enough.
After the first 4 seconds of music, you can actually feel and see Obi Wan alone, waiting in the desert. Another genius main theme, Mr. Williams.
John Williams: The GOAT, the one and only. That was awesome 😊 👏
John Williams: Living legend
I’ll admit I cried! John Williams just hit deep. The greatest composer in history!!!
Strength, wisdom, loss, doubt, but hope and triumph.
Bravo, maestro. Bravo!
What would Star Wars be without William's iconic themes? The music is timeless and instantly recognizable. His music injected much needed weight, and emotion, into the prequels by doing a lot heavy lifting propping up some of the films more wooden performances.
Sadly, it would be like marvel
Star wars would be nothing. Star Wars has so many scenes that would be considered awful if it had no music in it. The music saves it.
The creator of the music of our childhood... a cultural treasure👏👏👏
My favorite theme so far!!! I can’t wait to hear the whole entire score.
The rest of the series was scored by Nat Holt who also scored the Locki series.
Yes, and hopefully we get to hear a few different variants of this theme throughout the series, unless this is just the intro.
@@chriszone50 Yeah, it’s going to be interesting.
This actually made me cry. What a legend!!😀
These are who I believe are some of the Greats of Film Score Composers: John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Joe Hisaishi
Honored to work for Lucasfilm LTD. What a way to kick off Celebration weekend.
I love John Williams! About time Obi Wan got his own theme. It’s beautiful and perfect! Great for where he is in his life right now and where he’ll be by the end of the series.
Finally Obi-Wan has a theme from the maestro himself 🙌🏻
The John Williams ! King of BGM ..period !
Has some elements of Binary Sunset in there. Beautiful piece of music! Glad I was able to hear Obi Wan Kenobi's theme before the release of the show.
Oh wow. Wow, wow, wow. It’s an absolutely beautiful theme. John’s talent is the definition of magnificent.
John Willams is fantastic, man. What a great guy
The man is 90 years young and he's out here writing and conducting star wars themes!
A somber Obi Wan theme as he is in the series! Fantastic theme from the Maestro!
When 90 years old you reach, look as good you will not!
Thanks for the recording Kristian.
John Williams, still killing it at 90 yrs old...true legend, my whole childhood is a John Williams soundtrack
I am taking conducting lessons. Mr. Williams is a master of a conductor! His ictus is strong, and he KNOWS every detail of his cues/themes. The amount of detail Mr. Williams has is incredible.
All in all, Mr. Williams is doing far more than waving his arms, he is having a conversation with the performers of the orchestra, and propelling the emotions to the audience.
Thank you for sharing this, sir.
This theme is amazing! I can’t to hear it again tomorrow! John Williams will always be LEGENDARY.
What a gift! After we all thought he might not compose anymore Star Wars music. An instant classic.
That’s what’s awesome about John Williams-his themes for all the films he has grabs your heart and it never lets you go, and his theme for Obi-Wan is no different.
Super jealous of everybody who got to see this in person. Mr. Williams is forever the GOAT of movie scores
Perfect for the show! lonely, lost with self-doubt Ben trying to become Obiwan again. At 2:25 I can hear Vader hunting Kenobi.
Absolutely beautiful theme!!!!
Whatever anyone has to say about the different trilogies of Star Wars. Every single one of the 9 movies has fantastic music. And that's because they were all scored by John Williams.
john williams really is incredible
Very curious if the show will also incorporate John William's various cues for Anakin from Episode III, like "Anakin's Betrayal" or "Anakin's Dark Deeds"
MY GOD this is just beautiful. I'm emotional....John Williams has a super power . He leaves the world with BEAUTY!
TEARS YALL!
This perfectly captures the emotions of Obi Wan Kenobi following the events of Revenge of the Sith. John Williams is a genius and forever a legend.
What an absolute treat to watch one of the greatest composers that ever lived plying his trade.
John's pieces are so powerful and emotional! This new addition fully captures the tragedy of Obi-Wan while adding some glimpses of hope. Totally love it. It made me tear up a bit. Long live the great John Williams ❤️
He is a master. So glad he was able to contribute to Obi wan
John Williams, still creating, still brilliant, still awesome...I love him so.
Love this tune.
@@TheKristianHarloff I love it too, with all my heart. Thank you for posting.
