Summary: A Twist on a Star Wars Soundtrack 2008-09-06
Comment: I found the Clone Wars Soundtrack to be a refreshing twist to an iconic storyline. I love John Williams, but this soundtrack was fun and fit the style of the movie and the upcoming series. If you are true fan of Star Wars, (like me, a 45 year old former Green Beret/Geek), then this is one you need to add to your collections. Trust me, it is a good score.

Summary: The Force is with Kiner. I can't wait to hear more on the series. 2008-08-22
Comment: I really enjoy this soundtrack. I bought it the day is came out. My first impression was that I liked it, especially the new, albeit, shorter version of the main theme. The more I listen to it, the more I love it, especially when the volume is turned up a bit. The overall style is a bit different than John Williams but it still feels like Star Wars to me, especially after viewing the film. There are a few tracks that have a little electric guitar. At first I was surprised to hear this but it's pretty cool, and I think it really works with the movie since it's animated and has a different feel than the other Star Wars movies (since it's going to be a tv series). The guitar soon blends in with the orchestra and subtle synthesizers.
A few tracks on this score are even reminiscent of some of John Williams' music for the Star Wars films. I think that "Admiral Yularen" really has the feel of some of the music from A New Hope's Tattooine scenes and a little of Cloud City. "Sneaking Under the Shield" to me is reminiscent of "The Trip to Naboo" from The Phantom Menace, and lastly, "Ziro Surrounded" reminds me of "Jango's Escape" from Attack of the Clones. Again, the more I listen to this score the more I love it. I'm huge fan of everything Star Wars, especially the music so I'm always craving any new material. I especially like the score to Knights of the Old Republic 2 by Mark Griskey. I'm glad that Lucasfilm and LucasArts are creating original music for their new titles instead of using the same old songs from the movies, like Star Wars games of the past.
Kevin Kiner uses some instruments that haven't really been used in Star Wars before. There's a lot of Middle Eastern inspired music for some of the Tattooine scenes as well as a good blend of synthesizers throughout. Kevin Kiner's use of synthesizers reminds me of Jerry Goldsmith's usage of them.
If you're a fan of John Williams' Star Wars scores, but maybe want something a little different, you should enjoy this. Just don't pretend that this is John Williams because it's not but it's still really good. My favorite tracks include Admiral Yularen, Landing on Teth, Sneaking Under the Shield, Scaling the Cliff and Courtyard Fight.

Summary: It's not John Williams. 2008-08-18
Comment: Well, it's not John Williams. Since this is a child's movie so to speak, it has been rearranged to make kid's enjoy it. The bit's of rock guitar put through the score I did not like. But the rest is okay, considering it's not John Williams doing the score. The movie and this download still have the same theme from Star Wars but it has been considerably changed, there is now more upbeat parts to it (for the kid's) So I just think this score has been downgraded to where kid's like it more, but I personally want John Williams back. You can go through some of the previews listening for the drab rock parts, but you can make your own opinion about how good this soundtrack is.

Summary: Not a bad score, but... 2008-08-15
Comment: ... the Star Wars theme was butchered. Absolutely butchered. Everything else is great, but if the opening march and subsequent themes in the title scroll get you going, forget it. Not in this album. The usual music swell and orchestra burst preceding the end credits is also half-hearted and short lived.
The music itself is actually pretty entertaining. I remembered Kiner from his score to Wing Commander, the music of which was a crap-ton better than the movie itself. He's a great composer if you want a copy-cat score, and he also manages to infuse it with his own style (even if that's made up of David Arnold flavoring). There are a few tracks that are more rousing than others and some of the Star Wars character themes are included, but I honestly wouldn't call this a Star Wars score. It's basically "generic sci-fi score #12", pulled straight from the shelf. I think I also heard a direct rip from The 13th Warrior as well. Funny stuff.
I'd recommend this score to someone who was desperate for something new, or wanted something to listen to in the background while they were working. It's good, but not that good.
