A 'Star Wars: Jedi Survivor' Panel At SDCC Will Focus On The Music From The Game
San Diego Comic-Con is right around the corner, and its panel schedule gets better and better every day. The amount of Star Wars-themed panels throughout the convention highlights that the franchise is still going strong, even after 45 years. One panel, “The Star Wars Musical Universe with Lucasfilm and EA Games,” will highlight the music of the most recent EA Star Wars video game, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. The sequel continues the score's success from its predecessor Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, giving fans the sound needed to emphasize the action and passion throughout the game.
SDCC’s panel schedule describes the program, “There is hardly a more iconic musical landscape than what the Star Wars franchise has brought to the world. This panel will explore the creative forces that went into making the original music heard within the recent video game release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. From the sweeping score to the infectious beats of the in-world songs, the game utilizes music on a whole new level. Panelists include co-composers Gordy Haab and Stephen Barton, audio director at Respawn Entertainment Nick Laviers, and worldwide executive & president of Music at EA Games Steven Schnur. Moderated by Chandler Poling of White Bear PR.”
The game itself has received consistently high ratings since its release and even broke a few records during its first week of release in the UK. The music of the game is no exception. There are numerous articles declaring the “11 best songs” in the game, and multiple playlists dedicated to specific moods throughout the game.
Considering how iconic the music of the Star Wars universe, no matter from film, series, or game is, it is no surprise that there are panels and discussions specifically dedicated to its soundtracks.
