Faleel 5,346 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I thought the love theme abruptly cutting out when Padme pulls away was the best thing about that scene. All it needed was the vinyl record scratch sound and it would have been perfect.I liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So bizarre.Didn't you mention somewhere here that the digital files that were leaked onto the internet back in 2002 didn't suffer from that hiss?

But as it is, people take it as a modern film and don't accept it -with reason of course.So, this is the cue we are talking about right?Yeah, that's it.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 I actually listened to Revenge of the Sith twice today and yesterday. It really is an entertaining score. I especially dig all the material from I Am the Senate through Anakin Crawling. Love the motif introduced in Swimming, Droids and Yoda Farewell. The ending of It Can't Be (which was horribly edited on the original album) is truly awesome. One of those moments where it's like, damn, the old codger's still got it. Of course, this was 2005..I never mentioned this, but I really don't like the transition from Home for the Twins to the end credits...sounds really awkward.I know there's one massive missing highlight from Palpatine's Big Pitch that is fucking great--actually, the best part, which I remember fondly from opening night. However, I refuse to use DVD/Blu-ray-sourced audio. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Whenever I hear someone say that transitions in a film score sounds abrupt or awkward, I think the person needs to be reminded that it's a film score and its arrangement isn't necessarily going to be as "musical" as something written without the need to serve the screen.

Datameister 2,041 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Whenever I hear someone say that transitions in a film score sounds abrupt or awkward, I think the person needs to be reminded that it's a film score and its arrangement isn't necessarily going to be as "musical" as something written without the need to serve the screen. But the composer's job kinda IS to make it musical, you know? They can't do anything about the content of the film, but that's not the issue in this case. The idea is great - big statement of the Force theme with a ritardando into the traditional end credits - but for some reason, Williams approached it in a very harmonically dissatisfying way. It's like he was desperate to do the Force theme in G minor and the end credits in Eb, but he forgot to write any real transition between them. How hard would it have been to just use F as the tonic for both so the trilogy could have ended with the authentic cadence it deserved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
