Star Wars - Episode II:Attack of the Clones Suite (Part 2/3)

The Tatooine Interlude (00:00 - 00:10)

Tatooine holds a special place in the heart of STAR WARS fans, however over-used the planet may be. This new piece of music proudly displays the oddity of the world that is home to the Skywalker family.

Anakin and the Senator (00:10 - 02:13)

"Anakin and the Senator" was the single for the ATTACK OF THE CLONES suite. In the original version, this theme was given a brief appearance and a terrible beginning in "Of Love and Loss". When it came time to remix AOTC, this untitled theme was in obvious need for improvement.

While "Across the Stars" is generally believed to be the love theme for the second STAR WARS prequel, I disagree. After working on this particular theme, I do not believe that to be true. This courtship music creates instant images of romance, not only between the young Padawan and Naboo's senator, but of young love itself.

We are reminded of the quiet time spent on Naboo, away from a galaxy embracing war. Alone, love is kindled between "Anakin and the Senator"...a love that would change the fate of the STAR WARS universe, forever.

The title for "Anakin and the Senator" is an ode to another favorite romantic theme in the STAR WARS universe, "Han Solo and the Princess".

To A Dark Place (02:13 - 9:08)

Anakin Skywalker is unsettled by his growing love for Senator Padme, and at the same time is haunted by visions of his dying mother. Lacking the discipline to focus on the task at hand, Anakin is absorbed with emotion, and in a rash decision is led down a path of darkness.

"Duel of the Fates" is reprised here, almost pleading with Anakin against his terrible anger. As Anakin succumbs to revenge, he takes one more step closer to his dark fate

Separated from out from "Of Love and Loss", "To A Dark Place" remains intact from Version One, with only a few improved edits.

The Shroud of the Dark Side (9:09 - 9:51)

Nearly identical to Version One, "The Shroud of the Dark Side" should instantly bring forth the images of Count Dooku and Darth Sidious plotting the fall of the Republic. As the Grand Army of the Republic is born, the rise of the Empire begins. With this turn of events, the reprisal of the theme "Across the Stars" is altered, and now forms a military cadence.

This final piece ends with a quotation of "Anakin's Theme" and slowly progresses into a sad rendition of "The Imperial March", signifying that the innocent Tatooine boy is indeed the galaxy's greatest villain.

@jediking12 he was referring to that part of the music only, not the music per se. This particular theme repeats itself in many other parts of the soundtrack and I do want to know its name too...

The Meadow Picnic

I re watched the movie again today for the first time since when I saw it around release in the theaters.

I actually liked this part. It was boring at parts and the romance did feel forced, but it was ultimately a better movie than Phantom Menace.

What I didn't really think fit was how in the Count Dooku fight, that should of had Duel Of The Fates. Sure I understand why it was in that scene it was in, but it just seemed to make more sense there. Oh well.
