The Star Wars prequels are among the least played osts from my Williams collection.

I doubt if I have listened to them more than 3 times in full.

Then you're certainly the exception. 

[Wojo 2,453]

I certainly haven't listened to them in five years at least. 

[Josh500 1,615]

I have listened to a few selected tracks from TPM UE 3 hours ago...

Welll, of the 3 I've probably listened to EPII the most by a large margin. I don't think I've ever listened to the whole EPIII ST at all, just odd bits and pieces. I really don't get the love for EPIII's music, it's probably my most unliked JW blockbuster score. However, I would love to hear it and the other two in their entirety.

Ep III remains the most problematic of Williams' SW scores. But it has moments of absolute brilliance.

Kinda like ROTK

ROTK and ROTS are nothing alike!

ROTK is pretty brilliant all the way though. If far too long to listen to the whole thing with any regularity

Prequels...

Star Trek.

 

Oh, bog off, and eat a Vegemite sandwich!

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

I prefer it on toast.

[Josh500 1,615]

OK, Star Wars is winning the poll. Suddenly.

 

Somehow the limited edition release of a complete Star Wars trilogy sounds so much more exciting... 

 

Though, Harry Potter is a very close second, of course.

Star Wars, While yes HP would be nice that recording session leak a few years ago nobody would buy the HP because you would only be doing so for the 3rd movie. Buying Star Wars because well it's Star Wars it has no real good releases.

What? I'm sure many people would buy it! They'd probably bundle all three together - it would probably be a limited release and wouldn't sell as much as SW, but I think it would sell about as well as the JP collection!

I'm not saying they wouldn't sell just not as well

Bullshit! HP would sell like hotcakes! Probably more than Jurassic Park! 

 

HP has a MASSIVE fanbase, and no these aren't just casual fans either, many of them know very well who JW is and love the music, and many of them would probably buy such a set if released. It would he announced in all the Harry Potter fan forums! 

 

You can't really say that about JP. JP has a lot of fans too, but nothing like HP (or Star Wars for that matter)!

Eh I know but it just feels iffy to me that fans would buy HP 

[Jay 37,363]

Both Star Wars and Harry Potter would move massive amounts of units, no question.

I'm not familiar enough with any of the scores to know what's missing from the OSTs, and I don't like fan edits or session leaks, so I haven't heard those either. But I know that I enjoy the Star Wars scores more and that there's quite a bit missing.  So those.
