The abrupt ending is indeed the way it was written for the film. There's an optional ending "(for CD) if wanted" that adds a long note in the bass instruments to give it a more final conclusion, presumably written before he wrote the DVD versions with a more elaborate ending. We don't know yet if this optional short ending was recorded.

AOTC had a "CD Version". My best guess is "DVD Version" is a reference to the Star Wars: A Musical Journey DVD that accompanied the original release of the soundtrack album. I believe the concert arrangement of Battle of the Heroes uses the same take(s) as the film cue (6M9 Revenge of the Sith) for the most part, just with an added introduction and a different ending.

That alternate intro is 6M9 D.V.D. V.1 Revenge of the Sith. Seems like a reasonable guess the actual album version is v2.

7M[something] Part 1: This is a variation of Helena's Theme with a distinctive rhythm in the accompaniment. I'll have to see if I can locate it. End Credits Part III: This is indeed the Nazi chorale which opens the 3rd part of the end credits (marked 'Solemn'), after the Raiders March and Helena's Theme. Note that if you look carefully, you can see where it was cut and paste, presumably from the concert arrangement JW wrote before agreeing to take on the entire score.

A very belated answer: yes, it matches OST track 1. It's similar material to "The Letter", but doesn't appear to be identical.

The JW-composed source music could fit onto 2-disc sets alongside the rest of the score for Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and I don’t believe there is any for Raiders or Dial of Destiny.

Yeah, that would make sense. I've seen some other cases of that. There is an Indy 5 cue called 'Confrontation at the Tomb', so it could be a mix-up with that, as well. Update: seems like there’s 2:36 of Confrontation at the Tomb in the film, so I’m pretty sure that’s what happened.

Curious, I don't remember any of this material in DoD, either. But the number does match the Raiders cue: @Faleel @Jay Even weirder: there's 2:36 of 'Confrontation' from Superman IV on that cue sheet!

Yes, that Jedi cue is pretty prominent, but there’s no less than 20 tracked cues from other Star Wars episodes, 4 different films! The Force Awakens (9) 1M1A Starry Night 3M26R You’re Han Solo (x2) 4M36R I Ran Into You 5M46R Kylo Stalks Rey 6M50R Han and Leia Reunion 6M55R Council Meeting 6M56E Ren in Cockpit 7M67B Rey Gets Sabre 8M77 March of the Resistance The Last Jedi (8) 1M9 Revisiting Snoke (x2) 2M18A Holdo’s Secret Plan 3M22 Fun With Finn and Rose 4M36 Luke and Rey 5M48 Insert 8M71 What ‘Cha Got 9M85A Insert - Rey Looks 0M8 Saying Goodbye to the Fathier Revenge of the Sith (2) 7M3 The Birth of the Twins (x2) 7M5 Plans for the Twins Return of the Jedi (1) 13M2 Vader’s Death

Oops, I meant ROTS.

I found this curious breakdown of TROS with GEMA's AV Productions search: Some pretty odd things going on here: Only a handful of TROS cues are listed, some with odd durations (There's something like 4 minutes of 8M14 Ben to Rey in the film, definitely far more than 1:54, and there's also definitely far more than 13 seconds of 8M4 Psalm of the Sith, and obviously there's far more than 6 seconds of Kylo's theme). The tracking from Revenge of the Sith is listed, but not the cues tracked from The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and Return of the Jedi. Rey's Theme has two entries. I think the "The Empire Strikes Back(TFM)" entry is actually for Yoda's theme. There's 1:26 of it in the November 11th cut, and I don't believe that changed at all in the final edit. Wild that there's 2:54 of the Emperor's theme! That might even be more than ROTJ.

Looks like GEMA's AV Production guide at least partially explains it: It has a second entry with a timing of 11:00 for the Dial of Destiny score, plus 5:04 for the Raiders March - JR Edit, and 2:36 for Pulse of the City:

The SABAM Repertoire gives a total duration of just 22:27 for JW's score in the film:

The 96 minute total might also exclude the use of previously written themes; I've seen that with several other scores. Maybe the recycled material plus other uses of the Indy and Marion themes adds up to 17 minutes?

Curiously, the SABAM Repertoire site lists a duration of just 96:08 (1:36:08) for Williams' score. I wonder if that excludes the note-for-note reused material from previous scores. Would that add up to ~17 minutes?
