Star Wars fans will soon have a new way to listen to the music of 2016's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Mondo has announced that the company will release a four LP expanded edition soundtrack of the film, scored by composter Michael Giacchino. Taking over the Star Wars helm from John Williams for the spinoff film, the film is one of a number of iconic pieces in the composer's repertoire, which also includes Spider-Man: No Way Home, and the upcoming The Batman, Jurassic World: Dominion, and Thor: Love and Thunder.
"[Rogue One] 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," said Giacchino of working on the film. "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 next and exciting set of Star Wars characters and the worlds they inhabit."
The release of the soundtrack is in celebration of the film's recent fifth anniversary in December 2021. The set will include all new original artwork by John Powell and new liner notes written by Giacchino, with the score pressed on 180 gram black vinyl. The set will also include over an hour of unreleased music from the film, as well as from recording sessions. "It's no secret that we at Mondo love working with composer Michael Giacchino, and we are thrilled to be releasing a 4 LP set for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with our friends at Walt Disney Records," said Spencer Hickman, Mondo Music Creative Director. "A firm fan-favorite bridging the gap between old and new Star Wars, Michael's score is phenomenal, featuring nobs to John William's classic Star Wars scores whilst firmly being its own thing."
Rogue One was directed by Gareth Edwards, and starred Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, and Jiang Wen. Luna will reprise the role of Cassian Andor for the upcoming Disney+ series Andor, which is scheduled to premiere this year.
