But it is. But probably bigger issue is that the album version is bad quality since much of the higher frequencies are missing.

I made my own fan reconstruction edit.

I will never give up on the movie Imperial March. Never!!!

I hope that one day we will get something like anthology (probably the best star wars soundtrack release ever) release with outtakes including more movie version of the soundtracks. Anyway I have noticed 1980/anthology version sounding different than limited/SE edition (worse quality imo). 1980/anthology you can even hear cymbals if you boost some frequencies. They can barely be heard on stock version because someone did bad job at mixing it, I think it was Eric Tomlinson.

You were correct. Film mix isn't available. No, if you listen carefully they are different. SE version doesn't have cymbals and much more.

Sent you PM.

You are joking right?

I believed that the original Imperial March (film version) was lost due to how old The Empire Strikes Back is and that we got bad album version due to someone remixing it badly but this video proves that the original version still exists and in good quality too (you can hear at 16:14 section that there are no tie fighters so the clean version does exist!)! If you can't hear the difference between this powerful and the best version imo from the crappy album one then I am sorry but yes they are different. I believe that someone at Disney or Lucasfilm intentionally holds back the best version possible of Imperial March from the fans.

How about we get full complete score of TESB for the 40th anniversary with the film mixes in as well? Never gonna happen, sadly.

I am quite sure the movie version of Imperial March will never be released so the answer is no.

I always liked the movie version of Imperial March the best and that one is unavailable.

Once again Disney delivers subpar trash quality soundtrack like they were recorded on a potato. Its 2020. 40 years since the release of The Empire Strikes Back and we still haven't got proper movie version of Imperial March released...On the other hand its quite possible that the Album version of the Imperial March is the same as the movie one but someone remixed it so badly that it lost all the cymbals, much of horns and other instruments that it sounds like an entirely different version... Also where is my Duel of the Fates but with Revenge of the Sith choir??? Disney is the worst company of all times.

Yes, why don't they? Just listen to Imperial March from the ESB "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLmUgeHc2tw" (background sounds can't be removed) and if you can hear well you can conclude that this isn't the same bad quality version that we got on the album... I really wish they would one day release original movie mix of Imperial March and ROTS Duel of the Fates version which had different choir from TPM version.

I know that Yoda vs Sidious Duel of Fates (ROTS version) had different choir than TPM version, and I am wondering if Its available anywhere (in games or whatever)? Even If I could find only choir I could mix it with instrumental version of Duel of Fates which I found here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wXUAm4WAAo

If movie version was released, where can I find it?

I wish movie version was released, its so epic.

Well I listened to it now and yeah, Anthology version does sound somewhat different than RCA/Sony release and I actually like it more. But you are probably right about that concert version must have been used in scene.

It was probably remix, thats what I thought yes.

Well I listened to that "concert version" and still doesnt sound the same as the scene I provided in first post

Do you know where I can find that cue from the movie (concert suite) ? Unfortunately I didnt notice because I never listened finale from ESB as much as Imperial March.

I am asking this question cause I was watching Empire Strikes Back and I noticed during scene where Star Destroyer fleet is appearing (18 mins into a movie) Imperial march sounds somewhat different than one of the official album( more powerful, deeper, faster, more bass?). Here is the scene. Imperial march in this scene sounds superior than album version for me. Was this version ever released or does anyone know if it exists somewhere? Any help would be appriciated.
