From the momentStar Wars : sequence 8 - The Last Jedi ’s trailerdropped , fans spotted a few images eerily similar to Zack Snyder ’s ownMan of Steelmarketing . The accuracy is … fans had no thought just how right they were . It was hard for comic script devotee to overlook the obvious parallels between the two films and trailers , with Rey ’s hand most noticeably make midget pebble to be adrift in the exact mode of Henry Cavill’sSupermanorigin chronicle . But when you dig profoundly and actually play the two house trailer side by side … the results are downright nervous . And no , we ’re not hyperbolise .
We ’ve gone to the trouble of lay the audio ofMan of Steel ’s 2nd poke over thefirstStar state of war : The Last Jeditrailer , so fans eager to see the results wo n’t require to scramble with the synchronizing themselves . The fusion of audio and telecasting mold far better than one would ever think , and shows that music director Rian Johnson ’s own visual style in the galax far , far away comes from a similar school as Snyder ’s , if not paying outright court . And as good as theLast Jeditrailer is , once you ’ve catch this video , it may be hard to ever see it - or pick up it - the same .
For clarification , theMan of Steelaudio and that ofThe Last Jeditrailer are synchronized from the start at precise zero , which makes the eerie parallel and forked meanings so startling ( not to bring up the synchronized cuts to black ) . We have made just a single edit , due to theMan of Steeltrailer run just about twenty second base prospicient thanThe Last Jedi ’s . There ’s no forced skullduggery , though : we just reduce the additional time prior to the spot at whichMan of Steel ’s own musical crescendo bang off , so that it equalize the same moment in John Williams’sLast Jediscore .
To reiterate : theMan of Steelaudio up to the point of Rey ’s lightsaber education is completely untasted , as is what follows , exactly as presented in the officialMan of SteelTrailer # 2 . Even before our single edit , the paired trailers unwrap the following mindbending , heartbreaking , and utterly confounding consequence :
At that point comes our edit , which we express once again , is n’t intending to artificially force any parallel . The grow change in Hans Zimmer’sMan of Steelscore is simply aligned with the " This Christmas " statute title bill , which in the trailer is as well aligned to John Williams ’s own score for the same purpose . Even if some will point to that as manipulation , the music is unedited from there . The burst punctuating the music , and the final dialog of Clark Kent ’s question , Luke ’s promulgation that the Jedi must cease , and the soaring title are the product ofMan of Steel ’s trailer mark , to its own conclusion .
While the similar imagery , be it Rey ’s hand pulling stones from the ground as Superman ’s did , or even the familiar shot of a hand reaching out to extend to the character ’s origins - for Clark , a childhood photo , and for Luke , the aforementioned Journal of the Whills . On one hand , they ’re both evocative for the same cause … on the other , Man of Steelfans may point to the differentreactionsZack Snyder tends to have with the other excitation and kudos for Rian Johnson ’s work . It ’s hard to dispute that thereisa difference by now , but more than anything , this mash - up shows just how much artistry as well assciencegoes in to cutting a blockbuster house trailer .
The tedious gap , use of goods and services of pitch blackness to punctuate the stage setting or broad ideas , before the medicine builds to take on a come montage of action and spectacle . All close in to one sober idea , the terminal Logos of a pivotal character , and the theme audiences should be entrust consider and , in the case of these two films , look for for an answer of their own to the questions the pic will raise .
Still , the presentation ofan island in the heart of the oceanas Martha Kent describes one boggles the mind , as does the acknowledgment to the late Carrie Fisher ( and , presumably , General Leia beforeEpisode 9 ) . The pursuit of the knowledge needed to know oneself in both trailers suggests thiscan’tbe a conjunction , and the synchronization ofMan of Steel ’s music to theStar Warsvisuals now give audiences TWO incredible composers to opt between .
Are you as amazed and exalt by this eerie coincidence - if it is , indeed , unwilled ? It may only be director Rian Johnson or the execs of Lucasfilm who can throw away some light on this bizarre moment of kismat , but until they coif the record straight , speculation and conspiracy may predominate supreme . Now if you ’ll excuse us , we ’re going to be learn this on repetition for the next few months .
