Anybody have any idea what the motif from 0:58 to 1:22 and 1:47 to 1:58 is called? I hear it frequently in the soundtracks for both ESB and RotJ, but I can't figure out what or who it's supposed to be associated with.
Funny how the only place you can get this good old star wars feeling nowadays is in a game set some thousand years before the events of the movies. And likewise a pity that George Lucas mauled the movies in the dvd and blueray releases. Guess we can just hope for them to release the original versions once he is dead. ^^
And what is there to say but that John williams is one of the best music composers that have ever lived.
in 50 years the "star wars" story will be "remade", new actors, new special effects, a new visual medium, new everything... all that will remain... is the score.
this score brings so much fond memories of sunday mornings with my family... it was winter 1985. I think, and it was warm in the house, while outside was snowing... and the atmosphere was pefect for seeing the Hoth battle, the mystique Dagobah swamps, strange Dark Cave experience (it took me years to understand it!), the Bespin duel with lightsabres flashing and Luke loosing his hand...not to mention the "I am your father line" and the Rebel fleet at the end...
i never really played star wars galaxies. I was pretty much addicted to empire at war. I know u don't hear this in the game, but i DO remember it star wars episode III the video game when u beat a level. pretty peacefull tune i would say.
the best SW movie with the best soundtrack IMHO. the movie ended on such an open ended and ambiguous note. so many stunning revelations, so much damage done to my hero's, so many future battles still to be fought.... it was a bit much for a 6 year old used to the good guys winning handily at the end of the flick. the ending scene in Empire still gives me goose bumps.
@MpowerdAPE you where an 80's child too eh? yeah, the good guys did seem to win on an almost daily basis, diden't they? one good thing about good vs. evil cliffhangers though: you SOOOOOO totaly knew it was ganna be worth it to catch the next installment! like, the deeper the trouble the hero's where in, the bigger the payoff at the end!
@brownbizzlefiddy8 It's a MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) Star Wars video game. Similar to that of the infamous World of Warcraft game. It was a pretty decent game when it was released, but over time the developers decided to change the gameplay so that it mirrored WoW's gameplay. This ultimately brought upon SWG's downfall since it really started to suck, much of the player base canceled their accounts turning the game into a ghost town.
It's playable, but not worth it. I'll let you make up your own mind about it, but make sure you know your info before playing. There are two phases of the game: The "Old version," referred to as the Pre-CU and CU, which had 32 professions, with customization and no classes or restrictions and was a unique sandbox environment. Then there's the "New version," the NGE, which reduced it to 9 cookie-cutter bland boring classes, with minimal customization. SOE only runs the new (sucky) version.
@ccisbeast they changed the game, it's not the same as it was 5 years ago. People need to stop thinking of the old days, and telling people not to play. IMO the game is at it's best in over a long time.
I think it's kind of funny how similar Princess Leia's Theme, Han Solo and the Princess, and Marion's Theme (yes from Raiders of the Lost Ark), and Juno's Theme (from The Force Unleashed) are all so intertwined. They all clearly use the same basic motif, but with small differences that eventually form out into entirely separate melodies. Of course, they're all so well done too.
My college wind ensembke was gonna play this for little kids but our director dropped it cause we ran out of time :( Everyone in the group was pissed.
@tostedcheeseman Even though they aren't on a planet when this music plays? They're on the medical ship at the end, when Luke recieves his robotic hand and Chewie + Lando set off to Tatooine. At 1:40+ the scene pans and shows the entire fleet.
i always loved the Imperial March redition at 3:42..it starts stong, and stays that way for the whole piece. for me, this is emotional defination of the Empire: LARGE, and in CHARGE!
haha, yeah, I remember hearing this song while I was creating my character like, "Which movie is this song from again?!" It had been awhile since i'd watched the original trilogy.
No dude, Binary Sunset and Imperial March oh and Duel of the Fates alone are better than the whole lotr soundtrack. Star Wars is Americana, like baseball and popcorn with the movies. Lotr are great movies but Star Wars is simply the best, everyone likes it.
"This movie will be remembered". Tons of people were saying that back in May of 1980 right after they saw it when it was brand new. Thirty years later and it's still held in extremely high regard by countless organizations & critics and mind-numingly vast swaths of people. And it's not because of something like being brainwashed or paid off either. It's because it's something spontaneous and unique that strikes the right chords. Here's an \m/ to it being embraced for another thirty years.
@vfgjhj I wouldn't call it better, for me sometimes I like LOTR better, and sometimes I feel like I like Star Wars music better. It just depends on my mood really. I don't know about you, but that is my take on it.
@rocketman5991 It's the best there is period, Star Wars has Yoda, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, R2D2, C-3PO, Chewbacca and sooo many more classic characters that everyone knows about. Lord of the Rings really doesn't to be honest, and the Star Wars soundtrack is the best soundtrack there is, I don't care what anyone says. Binary Sunset is the most surreal piece of movie music I've ever heard.
Plus, when most people have this argument, they don't know what the fuck they're talking about, lol.
Lord of the Rings isn't a film series, and it was never intended to be. It is an incredible piece of English literature that was adapted into a mediocre film series. LOTR as a story is probably more influential than Star Wars, but the films pale in comparison.
Star Wars does Lord of the Rings more justice than Peter Jackson's movies did.
