Prequels was re-introduced for people because of memes and how much Disney trilogy sucked. In Russia, I'm from this country, people always loved it, because that was trilogy people grew up with, since it was shown in cinemas on initial release, and our voice dub fixed all horrible acting.

You've started it first, dumbass.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMER! And you deaf, by the way. Like really. Just listen to the cue from Anthology and then from 2CD. This is for ROTJ.

He is just an old boomer that way too conservative to try prequel scores. Or he is just a hater of prequels overall. Pathetic and childish. Expanded ROTS is a fire, by the way. Dark, suspensful, epic, feelingful. Surely most underrated after AOTC.

Prequel scores can beat the shit out from very big amount of scores. Because how they are intense in orchestrations and e.t.c. You really a fool. Check Chase through the Coruscant and shut the fuck up, boomer, this is the best action cue ever.

Why it's so many years gone and I'm still in need to stick to the fan works if I want to listen to the prequel scores, for example? Is it so hard for Disney and Lucasfilm to release proper versions of Indy's soundtracks and SW? No. So where they are? Same goes to the unaltered versions of the Original Trilogy.

You know nothing about me and I'm a SW music fanatic, first of all. And get lost, btw. Toxic piece of crap.

Amen.

No, YOU just don't get it, darling. Nobody cares about some obscure unreleased scores of which 2.5 people heard of. That's why they are unreleased.

Star Wars is the biggest JW work, his masterpiece. And we still waiting for ultimate releases of the whole Skywalker Saga. So what about other soundtracks? SW owns them all, even LOTR, because how complex it is. You know other 9 movies with over 20 hours of music composed by genius himself?

Empire suffers from horrible Brian Risner remixes of some cues, ROTJ horribly EQ'd to death. ANH is cool btw. For the best Empire experience you need to check Imperial Audiophile Edition by ABC, which uses multiple sources to beef up sound as possible as it can be done. Sounds absolutely magnificent. What about ROTJ, stick to Anthology or try to find Trent's/Vosk edit, my compilation, using multiple sources is avaliable in place where you can get it, you know what I'm talking about. Here is excerpt from Malone Digital's Recording SW Saga article: The 2CD Special Edition remixes of The Empire Strikes Back score were made in 1996 by Brian Risner from the 24-track backup tapes. The remixes are identifiable by their distortion-free yet dry, bunched and uninvolving sound with “City in the Clouds”, the “Main Title” and “Hyperspace” examples of the one-dimensional balance. For “City in the Clouds” the brasses are centred, the horns placed to the right and most of the strings, including doublebasses, positioned in the centre. For “Hyperspace” the distinctive, propulsive nature of the strings is almost lost as most are located centrally rather than traversing the stereo field. The celeste at the introduction of “Yoda and The Force” is almost inaudible. In comparison, “The Imperial Probe / Aboard the Executor” and “Mynock Cave” offer Eric Tomlinson at the top of his game with enveloping and impeccably balanced sound.

I prefer OT way with minimum of changes.

Since my first thread was ignored in July, here is another one. I've asked about list of inserts like we have for all three Indy movies, but it seems I need to make it by myself. I don't think that ANH have inserts, ESB only ommited music, to my knowledge. So, I will check all ROTJ music against picture and will do list of all inserts, but I need your help for start. Just write what you remember, like Father and Son insert in Bounty for a Wookiee and e.t.c.

The title says it all.

I'll update this post with my picks soon. Edit: I've forgot that this is JW corner but JW have a ton of great action music anyway.

Calm or action? I'm the action guy, my favourite scores are: All JW SW and Solo, all four IJ, Jurassic Park, Batman, Tomorrow Never Dies, Back to the Future, HTTD What about calm scores, my picks are: Schindler's List, E.T., Edward Scissorhands Feel free to write favourite scores too, I'm very interested in checking 'em out

Yeah, Avengers is dope too, plus this is LSO. Finally we agreed on something.

Am I only one who thinks that this score is underrated and by far is the best score of all MCU movies? I like album presentation very much, and if you have any problems with this score, I can tell you one thing: Motorcycle Mayhem. Theme is great too, esp. this Williams-esque concert bonus track.

Modern Zimmer sucks so much that there is nothing to criticise.

Well, I mean, you just keep going with throwing same pictures again and again

Can you pls stop shitposting? It's pretty simple, you know

Skull better than Temple? Wtf, man? One of the most violent Spielberg movies and lazy piece of shit with PG-13 And Raiders March sounding like SW is bullshit too. If you do comparison like this, Superman sounds like SW too and you can go on Why not to say that they sound the same because they use orchestra? Wow!

Amen.

Guys, wanna throw in my 5 cents, let's again discuss Zam Chase in COS
