Star Wars Episode V Soundtrack - The Asteroid Field

[0122travis]

The two people who disliked this video were Tie Fighters in the pursuit of the Millennium Falcon but got destroyed by asteroids.

[starflame34]

"We going to get pulverized out here!"

"Look we got 4 or 5 of the main characters on this ship, I think we'll be fine!"

[TeamBelmont91]

Why is it that I immediately think of this particular soundtrack piece whenever I'm zipping through a mall or store that's over-loaded with crowds upon crowds pompous, moronic customers with coupons and such? :/

[turbolazergun]

@TeamBelmont91 when im late for work driving on the highway

[TeamBelmont91]

@turbolazergun Shit, that actually works better than mine. D8

[happystickman]

I used to fly through asteroid fields, but then I took a Mynock to the knee.

[GilissenKim]

@happystickman Lol you skyrim addict haha

[Mirsk1]

@kevo8t6 from 2:30 starts my fav part of the song, so i totally agree with you bro

[mainman297]

@Mirsk1 so do I that's #3 on my fav star wars songs list

0:05 - 0:21

"Oh No! Were caught in a tractor beam!"

"Star Tours, what are you doing here? This is a combat zone, its restricted, ease off your main thruster"

1:53 - 1:58

"I have a really bad feeling about. AAAaahhhhh!!"

H##LZ YEA!

[xTzitzimimex]

I love this song when i was a kid i used to see the part when the millennium falcon was flying threw the asteroid field so i got my toys and started playing like if i was in the movie :D

[kevo8t6]

2.30 amazing

[shtdragon]

I'm not big fan of Star Wars anymore. Films are so old that they're not enjoyable anymore. I don't like Clone Wars cartoon from cartoon network because plot and characters are things that no one cares about. Only thing thats gonna be new is Old Republic massive multiplayer rpg. There's no point for me to watch any star wars media right now.

[americanintellectify]

@shtdragon how can anything be too old to enjoy especially the 3 greates films ever made?

[mukers]

@shtdragon Why are you here then

[thesyfychannel15]

Two of the TIE Fighter pilots lived to dislike this.

[historygenius]

IMO John Williams' best work :)

[manweller1]

@historygenius Well said I agree too.

[Halfstar3]

He's a fuckn bonified genius. John Williams - the God.

[StarWarsEdits]

I can totally see the entire asteroid chase in my head right now. It's either a testament to how awesome this score is or how much I fucking love this movie.

[irontusk341]

"Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one!"

"Never Tell Me The Odds!!!" ―Han Solo

[DigitalSniper18]

I listen to this when the police state of the U.S is after me.

They'd be crazy to follow me.

[11TyDye]

Threepio made an account and disliked this

[Kooka1000]

2:18 !!! just epic... Wow!

When the first Tie Fighter hits an asteroid

[halomaster2270]

I dont know if i am the only that can do this but can anyone else here hum every score from star wars?

[jolt187]

@halomaster2270 I realized I can too when I played a torrented BFII the other day.

[ocaraquemudoudeideia]

The advantages of having a flat ship...

[lvdmonstarr]

I hate these kind of jokes, but...

1 person got hit by the infamous potato asteroid.

[Geanon123]

@lvdmonstarr and another one got hit by the infamous sneaker

[starwarselite1]

1:13 *Star Wars Battlefront 2* [SHIP ANNOUNCER]

ATTENTION ALL PILOTS!!...ATTENTION ALL PILOTS!!...REPORT TO THE HANGAR!!!

[621Chopsuey]

Lois: We're going to get pulvarized out here!

Peter: Look, we got four or five of the main characters on this ship, I think we'll be fine.

[Adrian5606]

Major goosebumps at 2:18 - best part of this track. Gets me so nostalgic hearing it. Every damn time.

[ToddHawk2012]

@Adrian5606 Me too, man. Me too.

[myoldreteacher]

@Adrian5606 Agreed... although I can't help think of some of those asteroids as being nothing more than potatoes (which were actually used in some cases as asteroids in this sequence).

[saturnvengeance]

Never tell me the odds!

[phily4life]

C-3PO: Oh this is suicide! There's nowhere to go!

[TheDarkKiazer]

I think the only reason Han is so good at evading the empire is cuz he used to be an imperial star pilot and a damn good one

[megabigboss5]

You're not thinking of actually going into an asteroid field!

[starflame34]

sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3720-1 (i think).

the odds of a TIE fighter getting through an asteroid field: 99999999-1

[cripplehawk]

"TAKE EVASIVE ACTION!"

*Klaxon Siren Blaring*

[EpicPhalure]

1 person got hit on the head with an asteroid.

[starflame34]

@EpicPhalure no, that person was just as bad of a pilot as those TIE pilots were....

[EduardoTVideos]

Never tell me the odds. 

[DarthFlages]

When I listen to this I start twiching my head near walls and objects trying to make a perspective of the run...it's so dumb and fun!

[Szyg]

NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS!

[Alexandros1294]

@Szyg The odds of successfully navigating the asteroid field are exactly 2 to 1!!! NEVER TELL ME THE O-. .... Hey wait, that's not so bad. I actually like those odds!

[ChronicTroll]

@Alexandros1294 1 to 1*

[Alexandros1294]

@ChronicTroll I thought it was 2 to 1? It's been a while since I've seen that. My bad.

[ChronicTroll]

@Alexandros1294 No, I'm just saying that because 1 to 1 is better than 2 to 1

[symir547]

OH THIS IS SUICIDAL....

[chevyracer4]

This entire song seems like it would come out of an Indiana Jones film.

[ericmarshall19]

@chevyracer4 Thats because John Williams also did the music for Indiana Jones

[terror324]

John Williams is a god, you changed the world!!!

[bertxo]

2:18, in that very moment Williams thought: "Indeed I'm a fucking genius".

[terror324]

@bertxo oh i know, definitly, i searched youtube all morning to find this certain piece of music, hahahahha. How is someone that smart to make such mind blowing peices, right at 2:18 your jaw just drops

[DieCupcake]

They'd be crazy to follow us, wouldn't they?

[RinluJedi]

Han: "I saw them! I saw them!"

Leia: "Saw what?!"

Han: "Star Destroyers! Two of them coming right at us!"

C-3P0: "Sir, sir --"

Han: "Shut him up or shut him down! Check the deflector shield. Great. We can still out manuever them."

[GyveTurckee]

He really captured the intensity of the asteroid field with this piece. He really knows how to incorporate moderate chromaticism in his melodic lines while keeping a grip on tonality in the harmony and letting the timbre of the instruments speak for the music. Some say he's a hack: taking from composers like Mahler, but I believe he's taken the best from the history of symphonic composing and made it into his own: standing on the shoulders of the giants that preceded him.

[GyveTurckee]

Really captures the intensity of the asteroid field with this piece.

[mercury46]

CLOUUUUSERRRRR????!!!!

[TerraGamerX]

Is the horn-intense part completely original or based off something? It seems like I heard it before in some classical songs. Otherwise, does anyone know of any variants of this song that focus more on that part (the part that starts at 2:18 is what I'm talking about).

[bluefAng]

@TerraGamerX completely original

[Skyntalor]

leia: I hope you know what you're doing.

han: yeah me too.

[ChronicTroll]

@starkiller710 I found your language offensive and disrespectful.

[starkiller710]

@ChronicTroll should i remove it? i don't want people to think that

[startug]

@starkiller710 Nah, don't remove it. ChronicTroll is an obvious troll.

[starkiller710]

@startug sorry dude, i already did :(

[ChronicTroll]

@starkiller710 That was just a joke.

[JONIMASAKIS]

john williams stated he really enjoyed composing music for star wars!!

[Ncomicsandvideos]

2:08

[starflame34]

the Empire has all these strong vehicles and stuff but their TIE fighter pilots....they need to go back to flight school

[HateMachine103190]

@starflame34 The best starpilot in the galaxy is gonna be in trouble when it's iron based asteroids vs. the pasteboard box with an engine that he's flying in. lol

[stopdropandroll]

@starflame34 its not their fault the tie fighters are so weak and bulky.

[starflame34]

@stopdropandroll Yeah, but asteroids would do a lot of damage to any fighter. Remember how badly a star destroyer got owned by one of those things!?

[xDXPxJOEx456x1]

@starflame34 as well as the storm troopers they cant hit anything 

[starflame34]

@xDXPxJOEx456x1 Or even take a hit! That armor they wear is useless!

[CROCOJAW47FILMS]

@starflame34: Heh, that's what I was born for. I'm a natural TIE pilot. Hypothetically speaking, of course, I was pretty epic at Star Wars: TIE Fighter back in '97-ish.

[SFisher1993]

@CROCOJAW47FILMS TIE Fighter and X-Wing Alliance were the bomb!

[thedutchmasterking]

@SFisher1993 amen.

[RunningWolf24]

astroids do not concern me admiral

[DarthHarion]

@RunningWolf24 I want that ship, not excuses!

[GGbreizh]

Tout simplement magnifique.

[ANDl23W]

Sir! The odds of navigating an asteroid field are 3720 to 1!

NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS!

[PlehAP]

@Joesolo13: Palpatine's failure was as a Sith Lord. Not as an Emperor. As an Emperor, he was relatively successful, if terribly overconfident. He thought himself invincible, which was the reason his Empire fell the way it did. A true Sith Lord would never have fallen as easily as he did.

[RinluJedi]

@PlehAP The person's main fault would be Vader because he trained Galen Marek (Starkiller) to be so powerful in the Force to the point where he'd betray him twice, Galen fell in love with Juno and allowed the formation of the Rebellion.

[XxShadow69xX]

@PlehAP That's pretty much how they all fell. Overconfidence combined with underestimating their apprentice = whoops, I woke up with a lightsaber in my face.

[PlehAP]

@XxShadow69xX Not really. Read up on the Darth Bane series. Killing your master in their sleep is no proof that you are actually a better Sith than they are. Deception, secrecy, and assassination are all only tools in the hand of a Sith Lord. They are necessary, but they do not demonstrate supremacy. To truly make yourself worthy of the title Darth, you have to ambush and then duel your master and kill them. The entire point is that you have become more powerful, not that you're more clever.

[XxShadow69xX]

@PlehAP That's the theory and principle behind it, but how many of them actually pulled that off? Theory always goes out the window when it comes to practicality. Yes, there were a few that decided to SHOW they were the most powerful and defeated their masters in a fair-ish fight, but deception and betrayal were by and large the rule, not the exception. Even Vader from the outset wanted to depose Palpatine, the only difference was the actual impetus for his betrayal when he got around to it.

[Ncomicsandvideos]

@PlehAP you are a wise one

[MusicDemon1001]

@PlehAP That's very similar to how Darth Malak, in the midst of an ambush on the Sith Empire, ordered his ship to attack Revan's ship, or how Dooku ordered his droid to attack the command ship while Ventress and the Jedi were on board.

[Gibbonz4tehween]

I'm going to try to lose in the asteroid field

You're not seriously thinking of going in asteroid field are you?

Sir! The chances of successfully navigating an asteroid field approximately 317,000 to 1!!)5/($&;59(8 p

At the ending where Han goes into the monster thing is the music in swg when you leave combat

[sheepbaad]

3PO "The odds of succesfully navigating an asteroid field are 2 to 1!"

Han "Never tell me the odds oh wait that doesnt sound so bad, lets keep going"

[only4tsc]

2:18-2:42 and 3:06 onwards are epic

[Blackshady77]

LUV IT!

[Jorrelrocks]

" That wasn't a laser blast, something hit us."

" Han, get up here!"

" Come on,Chewie!"

[jayce79]

Oh Yeah.

[AdamWeith]

One ship vs. the Empire.

The odds gotta be against the Alliance...

"Never tell me the odds!"

Rebellion era FTW!!!

[cpufightclub]

@AdamWeith fuck the rebellion.

[AdamWeith]

@cpufightclub No, fuck you. :D

I said "Rebellion era" not the Rebellion. Though the Alliance owns anyway. As does the Empire. And the Rebellion era (0 BBY-4 ABY, though I would like to add 1BBY to the era though.)

That's the setting of Empire at War, and it's a damn good setting. The Alliance is slowly growing, while the evil Empire is losing it's grip over the galaxy.

Oh, and the Empire Strikes Back FTW, too.

[galacticempire19bby]

@AdamWeith Rebel Scum! Bow to the might of Emperor Palpatine! ;)

[Joesolo13]

@galacticempire19bby i would but he fell into the reactor on the death star he forgot to cover with something.

im seeing a patern here.

[V3n0mCarna93]

@cpufightclub I concur...those Rebel scum!

[Joesolo13]

@cpufightclub f the empire

[cpufightclub]

@Joesolo13 how dare you

[grysjay]

SIlly rebel scum, fleeing into a astroid field.

No matter where they run, they cannot escape the Empire!!

[Joesolo13]

@grysjay but the empire lost a star destoryer and didnt even catch them.

[thesyfychannel15]

@grysjay Five minutes later...

Evasive action!!!

Asteroids everywhere!!!!

[Sully192837465]

looks like Boba's head is a bit too big on the album cover :p

[JakeHaydenDJ]

2:20-2:42 plays when we're on a REALLY long car ride, I have to ge pee REAL BAD, and we're in the middle of nowhere. Just imagine it :I

[BuellerBueller95]

i saw 'em! i saw 'em!

saw what?

star destroyers, two o f'em comin' right at us!

[frenchfrey65]

Happy 30 EmSB

[IIHaZe]

2:18 onwards is a beautiful Progression

[SunsetGraffiti]

Yo, my mom bought me this soundtrack on vinyl when I was 12 years old. GOOD SHIT.

[RinluJedi]

Perfect for KOTOR 2

Atton: "If they hit us we're dead. But if they keep missing us we're dead. That's great odds."

T3-M4: "(beep, whistle)"

Atton: "Somebody shut that trash compactor up!!"

Exile: "Look, can you fly this thing or not?!"

Atton: "I'm doing all I can and it's not enough. What'd you do to make these guys so mad? Now either they hit us and destroy us or they hit an asteroid and make the whol field go nova."

[YaBoiKidd225]

C-3P0-"BUT SIR!! THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCCESFULLY NAVIGATING THROUGH AN ASTEROID FIELD IS APPROXIMATELY 3,720 TO ONE!!!!!"

BEST LINE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[snipperbes]

@YaBoiKidd225 Lol, you posted the same comment 3 times.

[YaBoiKidd225]

The Stage Theme for the Death Star Stage on "Star Wars:Master's of Tera Kasi" for the PS1. Memories of fighting my opponent with the Imperial Probe Droids mechanically talking & spying on you while u fight with this theme playing. Dont worry, they were harmless. VERY EPIC.

Plus @ 0:28 to 0:51. I like it when the Falcon had swerved down @ the bottom to avoid getting squished by the Star Destroyers.

&&& Finally @ 1:10 to 1:13. MY FAVORITE PART TO HEAR IN THIS THEME!!!!!

[ChrisRedfield1991]

"That wasn't a laser blast something hit us!"

[bazookoidben]

"Closer?!?"

[snipperbes]

"You're not actually going INTO the asteroid field?"

*shocked face*

[DrPhilMusic]

@snipperbes They'd be a fool to follow us, wouldn't they?

[FordPOS720]

@Fetcha200 hahaha

[DavidELD]

I really wanted Peter to sing this during the Asteroid Chase scene in Something Something Darkside...

[halfthefunhouse]

"There. That looks pretty good."

"What looks pretty good?"

"Yeah. That'll do nicely."

[andnowforsomething89]

Listen, we got 4 of the 5 main characters on the ship. I think we're gonna be fine.

[YoshiAngemon]

At 3:27, "That looks good. (a pie is seen floating in space) Doesn't that pie look good? Too bad we can't get at it. It's in space, and we're in here. Otherwise, I'd be eating it, right now."

[TB8719]

Love the part when the tools fall on Han's head while working on the hyperdrive.

Epic piece of work from John Williams!

[Fhilbo]

@TB8719 OWWWW!!!! Chewie!

[RinluJedi]

"I saw them! I saw them!"

"Saw what?!"

"Star Destroyers! Two of them coming right at us!"

"Sir, sir might I -- ?"

"Shut him up or shut him down! Check the deflector shield! Great. We can still outmaneuver them!"

[RinluJedi]

This dialogue was similar to KOTOR 2.

Atton: If they hit us we're dead. But if they keep missing us we're dead. That's great odds.

T3-M4: (beep, whistle)

Atton: Somebody shut that trash compactor up!!

"This Rebel Lawbreaker thinks he can outrun the Empire. The pursuing officers realize he's entering a residential area. They give him a wide berth; but they don't let him out of their sight. Astonishingly, the driver makes a left, right into an asteroid field!"

[IhearaHunter117]

@YoshiAngemon lol just watched that today XD family guy pwns all.

[younggunsfan]

[olsonaar000]

Never tell me the od- oh! Thats not bad. Yeah, i mean, sure, lets, lets keep going.
