Save the Rebellion, Save the Dream: 'Rogue One' Complete Score Gets Vinyl Box from Mondo

February 15, 2022 By Mike Duquette 3 Comments

Rogue One Mondo packshot

AVAILABLE FROM MONDO FEBRUARY 16

A heavily armored box set with enough firepower to destroy an entire wallet is coming from Mondo this week.

Michael Giacchino's score to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - recently surprise-released as a generous digital expanded edition - will get an 4LP release from the venerated collector's label/imprint, featuring all of the soundtrack material issued in 2016 along with an hour of unreleased and alternative material. (Fans will surely keep hoping for a CD edition; after all, rebellions are built on hope.)

One of the first significant expansions of Star Wars lore after Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm (The Force Awakens, the first in a new trilogy, premiered a year before), Rogue One fills in an exciting gap in the margins of the original film: the tale of how the plans for the Empire's dreaded Death Star fell into the hands of the heroic Rebel Alliance. A ragtag group of freedom fighters - including former prisoner Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones), hardened soldier Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and Imperial spy Bodhi Rook (Riz Ahmed) - venture into the heart of evil to recover the best-kept secret in the galaxy, staying one step ahead of the battle station's calculating director Krennic (Ben Mendelsohn).

With a few surprising cameos from the original series - including a fearsome turn from the villainous Darth Vader and a digital recreation of Hammer horror legend Peter Cushing as the chilly Imperial governor Tarkin - the film slotted nicely into the classic canon while also offering tantalizing new ideas in the series (chiefly Donnie Yen's blind warrior monk, who puts his faith in the all-mystic Force without taking arms as a Jedi). Rogue One became the second highest-grossing film of the year, sending the Disney Star Wars era into hyperspace; a prequel series featuring Luna as Andor is slated for release on Disney+ later this year.

While Giacchino is considered by many as one of the closest heirs apparent to original series composer John Williams, he was not the first choice, signing onto Gareth Edwards' film after a series of reshoots meant that original composer Alexandre Desplat (who collaborated with Edwards on a 2014 reimagining of Godzilla) was no longer available. With only four and a half weeks at his disposal, the Oscar-winning Up composer brought together rousing action cues and contemplative moments with tasteful quotations of Williams' iconic motifs. (The film's finale, "Hope," finds the Giacchino/Williams hybrid at an apex, when Vader tears through a group of Rebels before the starship seen in the original 1977 film makes its daring escape.)

"This project was an almost five-week whirlwind of writing, recording, and mixing but I couldn't have been more enthusiastic about the adventure and will always look back on those days with fond memories," Giacchino said in the statement announcing the new reissue. "As with all the film scores I compose, my goal was to serve the story and the emotions of the film, but I think it was my 10-year-old brain who had the most fun composing for this new and exciting set of Star Wars characters and the worlds they inhabit."

AVAILABLE FROM MONDO FEBRUARY 16

Mondo's box set, produced in conjunction with Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Records, will be available to order Wednesday, February 16 at 12 p.m. CST at Mondo's official store, where it will retail for $75. The new packaging - including stark black-and-white sleeves designed by John Powell (no relation to the composer who happened to do the music for Solo, the other Star Wars spinoff) - will house four 180-gram LPs and new liner notes from the composer. Thirty-six of the set's tracks - including the entire final side of the set - feature cues not issued on the original soundtrack six years ago or wholly unused material, including alternate takes of thematic suites.

Check out the full track breakdown below and get ready for your attack run this week at Mondo's official web store.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.

    I doubt there will be a CD. Two years back, an expanded Solo: A Star Wars Story score was released only digitally.
