So far, the XBox360 version of The Force Unleashed is still unrippable. According to my sources, TFU has a difficult/bad header to work with.

But they won't give AotC in the right order, they'll release the "UE" if they do. Regarding XBox360, I knew it had been cracked for some time, but apparently some of the XMA header is still a bugger to decode (Source: "VGM Legacy" thread on the FFShrine Forums)

Yes. My set, my rules for that set. Besides, some of the alternate takes include drastically different orchestrations. I shall have it being 'redundant' if I so wish.

Okay, my Complete Cue-By-Cue Score: And my Intended Order version:

It's my Complete Score, just ordered as it would have played in the film. Wait, then what's your other version? Complete Score, cue-by-cue.

It's my Complete Score, just ordered as it would have played in the film.

Well, i've finished a while back with Episodes I and III. I even made a second "Film-ordered" version.

Absolutely. Curiously I bought the DS version of the LEGO games, and it actually has the real music, and not midi, but it's all in mono, too bad... I didn't hear anything unreleased there (yet - I'm still playing) but if there is, it's better quality than some of the Last Crusade bootleg out there.

Yeah, they seem to have had the amount of gamerips out there on their mind as they made the system for encoding discs on the XBox360 and PlayStation3... I can't remember if anyone mentioned it, was there extra music on the Wii version of The Force Unleashed?

Yes, this was the PS2/PSP rip. I still have the links myself and he asked if I could send them to him. I don't find it as LQ as he makes out though, I think the only thing is the PSP music is awful quality, but it's probably like that no matter whether you recorded or ripped it.

There was a lot of KotoR II used in the Revenge of the Sith game, I think they mean.

Here's what I recall it being: Music01 - Duel of the Fates/Sith Spacecraft/Droid Battle Music02 - Escape From Naboo/Battle of Hoth Music03 - Forest Mist/Armies Face Off/Droid Invasion/Tentacles/High Council Meeting Alt/Darth Sidious/Battleship Destroyed Music04 - You're Under Arrest/Enter Darth Maul/Running Out Of Time/Naboo Temple Music05 - Love Pledge and the Arena/Going After Dooku Did you get the Galaxies music off my FFShrine topic?

Last night I split the "Star Wars Orchestral Suite" you sent me into the individual files listed here, they're all in .wav, so I can send them to you if ou wish.

Aren't you the guy who's just requested TPM, Galaxies and BF2 off me at FFShrine? I didn't realise it. I gave Henry the .wav links for all my material a time ago, I still have them (not sure if they're all working though).

I think I'm beginning to see that point, possibly. The games have the violin transition fading out before the "Gungan Retreat" piece but in the album the Anakin Defeats Sebulba part is put a lot closer, possibly to cover that edit up... hence "Gungans Retreat" is actually the latter part of "Race Begins".

I've pretty much undone edits made to the cue "Theed Palace Arrival", it sounds a lot better to me.

I have a friend who told me about that in college, I thought he was pulling my leg. (Funny, even Google Translator is a better translation than that!). Smelly boy, indeed. For those who did not bother to read that, "DO NOT WANT" scene is the scene where Vader yells "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" after learning Padme is dead. It's just Chinese tranlsated badly into English (How the heck did "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" become "DO NOT WANT"?) EDIT: I'm a bit slow, two more posts appeared before I finished posting.

I meant the choral re-recording. Was the entire choir rerecorded? Perhaps Williams recorded the whole choir and told Lucas to use whatever he wanted in the sequence?

So Williams could have re-released Duel of the Fates with the new choir. I personally prefer the RotS version to the TPM now. The words are pronounced slightly better IMO.

His excuse could be time restraints - he has a set time to make his choices and compile them, eh may not have had time to compile tracks he wanted in the RotS album. Still, the same went for AotC and the Target bonus track "On the Conveyor Belt" came out later... Does anybody know how much of the Duel of the Fates choir was re-recorded for the Duel of Darth Sidious and Yoda sequence?

Same here.

And neither time Williams gave us the complete cue - Track 1 fades into the exit chord from The Arrival, and Track 13 goes straight into "Queen Amidala".

Yeah, I did find that quite strange.

Surprise of surprises... But I noticed a trend, that Williams tries to avoid including repeating themes in his albums, hence why he cut out the Darth Sidious segments from "Finale" in AotC's album and "Palpatine's Seduction" in the RotS album. Likewise, he could have put "Droid Fight" or a more complete "Droid Invasion" cue in the TPM album. Or, some more Battle of Naboo music. I mean, come on, not even half of the length of BoN is on the album.

So you're all agreeing with this. I am too. I've noticed there were six minutes spare on the TPM album, four spare minutes on AotC, and ten spare minutes on RotS. Enough room, I think in two cases, for at least cut-down versions of cues which mattered to the film. I've found that Adobe Soundbooth can reverse pitch adjustments and time shifts in the music with very minimal distortion, compared to Audacity. I pretty much fixed "Theed Palace Arrival", using only the VG audio for the actual missing bits. I'm not sure, but I think there is a slight time adjustment on the opening measures of "Tentacles", and I'm still searching.
