I just remembered that John Williams scored TLJ! I can't remember a damn thing about it except a few notes for Luke, Leia and Vader. Maybe Rey's TFA theme as well. Maybe.
I would put my vote somewhere between serviceable and forgettable. How about you?

Serviceable. Better than the terrible Rogue One score.

There were some good tunes in there but they didnt have the same sound as the old scores.
Better than TFA music though.

Got to hear it more, but serviceable it is, maybe on par with TFA/R1 scores, but not with Ep I-VI scores.

I found it better than TFA which (like the story) sounded copied and rehashed. He returned some of that classic SW sound with its own independent originality. But as many others have already said, the score and soundtrack to the first 6 movies was better.

It was good, but not as good as the music in the originals or the prequels. You can say whatever you want about the prequels (I'm also not the biggest fan of them), but the soundtrack is amazing, perhaps some of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.

The Duel of the Fates and main romantic theme for AOTC are good BUT does not have that Wolfgang Korngold-Mahler vibe that the OT had. Every character and scene had its own leitmotif. Even Boba Fett had a dudndududu du, dududududud du... obo tune in ESB.
By the time of ROTJ, Williams was starting to diverge from it. His scores for SW, Superman, ESB, Raiders had an upbeat kind of tempo but he started going in a more moody phase with Jedi, TofD, Last Crusade.

I liked Kylo's theme and there was a few good cues peppered throughout, but overall it was just serviceable.
