  1. Not only the Ewoks(which were worse than Jar Jar IMO) I didn't like most of the Jabba scenes either,especially the mostly slapstick and badly scored Sail Barge Battle(Williams original cue was tons better),and all of what was happening on Endor after the bike chase,which is basically 2/3 of the movie.Luke's visit on Dagobah wasn't great either,especiallly that casual conversation with Ben's spirit(even as a spirit,he sits down on a rock,for crying out loud) The speeder bike chase,the space battle and the Luke,Vader and Emperor scenes warants my 5 points. K.M.
  2. I think Stefancos Avatar is worthy of the Towner knights.LOL!Nerys looks like Zam Wezel after getting hit by that Kamino dart. My ratings for the Star Wars films. ANH-7 ESB-10 ROTJ-5 TPM-7 AOTC-7 K.M.Amused.
  3. Because it's exactly its title: The IMPERIAL March. Along with DV's theme, it represents the Imperials. ~Harry Crusher is dead on.There is no "Empire" yet either. BTW,I would have only expected a full bold statement of The Imperial March in ep3 when we see Darth Vader appear at the end(which will likely happen). K.M.
  4. LOLROTF,Welcome back to The Phantom Zone Trio,Lord Stefancos.I see the Dark Side has taken it's toll on you. K.M.Who thinks that the right half of Crusher's Avatar should be dialed out.
  5. Was wondering if new news had arisen on his failing health. K.M.
  6. Ocelot,your avater looks crap.Period. K.M.Scared of himself in a Sith costume.
  7. The whole scene with Luke telling Leia that they are brothers and sisters is by far the most laughable piece of acting in the film. Horrendous. Even I. Kershner has stated that Marquand did not qet good perfomances out of his actors. And it show. About bad acting.... Joe that was EXACTLY what I was going to post.That was an unbearably awkward scene.Hamill's acting when he talks to Jabba or Vader on Endor ain't much better either. And to me,Carrie Fisher is so-so in ANH,then wasn't very good in esb and terrible in ROTJ. and Harrison Ford was good in ANH and ESB but also terrible in ROTJ. K.M.
  8. Well,also remember Goldsmith got the shaft from Ridley Scott in Alien and Legend(and I will keep insisting that Legend incident changed Goldsmith's way of scoring films to this day.) K.M.
  9. That being said... in TPM and AOTC, some great music is composed and recorded... and then completely destroyed. -Chris Hmmm,to this day I still maintain that the really offensive edits in TPM were in the Pod Race and around 7 or 8 minutes of the Naboo battle(mainly The Battle Continues on the U.E.).In AOTC,things are far worse. K.M.
  10. TPM HAD a universal appeal exept for Jar Jar whiners on the internet.I don't think AOTC does. K.M.
  11. Well,like I gave it a 7(a considerably higher rating than my indisposed first viewing). after a second viewing since there is somewhat a plot during the end sequence.Yoda is the one giving the orders to the clone troopers. 1 point lost for the music 1 point lost for Anakin's "acting" 1 point lost for the overkill visuals of the end battle. BTW,if 42% and higher gave it a rating of 8 or higher,does it mean that Williams score really doesn't matter all that much and tracked music would be fine for EP 3? K.M.Who almost deducted another point for the Conveyor Belt sequence.
  12. The first option should be "I HAVE tham all,including the rare ones".Well I do,except for some boots which are cdr's,all are pressed originals except The Accidental Tourist.I'm also missing some of his very early stuff from the early 60's which I don't really care about,like Checkmate and stuff like that.Crusher cdr'd me Diamond Head and Not with my Wife you Don't last summer and I haven't listened to those yet.... K.M.
  13. Sorry for those of you who watched the olympics on NBC and missed the HUGE fireworks to Call of the Champions at the closing ceremonies. K.M.
  14. I get the feeling that AOTC will decline rapidly at the box office.Lots of people I know hated it ,and I don't plan to see it again more than once(if the opporunity arrises),wether I saw TPM around 9-10 times in theater. K.M.Who still has to see Spiderman.
  15. If the Imperial March is Vader's theme,what the f*uck is it doing in a scene when neither Vader or Anakin is in ,even if it sounds good. K.M.
  16. You guessed it,I am Darth Williams,and the dark side is with me.I have been secretly planning to take over this board for years now. K.M.Sith lord of the separatist Williams movement. P.S.Chris,PLEASE change that avatar,I really do look evil there.
  17. I don't know,if they release an UE as heard in the film I'd skip it this time around.I mean,whatever unreleased music came before the end battle didn't seem all that entralling or drew my attention in any way,mostly short cues for dialogue scenes(do you REALLY want the music for Corde's death?or whatever was playing when Padme and Anakin speak in front of a log fire or are eating a pear...)...and if we get the end battle tracked from TPM,then what's the point.I think we probably got the best of whatever Williams wrote on an already pretty long 1 c.d. release,and as for the end battle,maybe in 20 years we'll know what he intended really. On the TPM UE,we at least had tons of GREAT unreleased cues that were OBVIOUS upon a FIRST viewing of the movie. -Fighting the Destroyer Droids -Trade Federation landing -Escort of the Queen -Entering the Hangar -The Pod Roars to life -Midichlorian count -Watto's roll of the dice -Talk of pod Racing -Hail to the Winner,Anakin Skywalker -Anakin is Fee -Desert Duel -The Senate -all the funky tatooine source music -The Tide Turns and that's only on top of my head.......and why I wanted SO much for Sony to release a TPM 2 c.d. set. ANYBODY heard anything as striking or interesting as these or blatantly missing from the c.d. while watching AOTC?????(I'm talking about whatever unreleased music before the end battle of course) K.M.
  18. I think anything said in this thread is purespeculation.To me,Indy 4 will never happen..and Amidala won't be in ROTJ. K.M.

    Hook

    I never appreciated the score THAT much with the single c.d. initial release(you could say I'm saying something a less harsh than JoeinAr).There were so many condensed themes that it was more confusing than anything else. With the double c.d. boot and DVD extracts ot the ultimate war,I changed my mind completely.The themes now seem to breathe more,are more developped,and now I do love the score.It's a bit like the original E.T. c.d. compared to the new more complete one which I MUCH prefer.The same applies to the score to Indiana Jones and Last Crusade. Hook the movie..it not very good,and i saw it a few times over the years K.M.
  20. I bashed it,sorry. When I saw it 2 days ago I was VERY sick for reasons I will spare you of on this board(no Stefancos,I wasn't on "drugs" or drunk).... I saw it again today in a clear state of mind,paid attention and...... IT'S A VERY GOOD MOVIE(Well except with the obvious hack of the score)I still maintain that Hayden Christenson wasn't very good as Anakin in some of the scenes though not that bad overall, some of the editing a bit choppy,and some visuals overwhelming in the end battle. I might not go see it as often as TPM....mayby once more in a few weeks. As for the music edits ,the FSM article sums it up,but in THX,I found the sound mix of the music louder than it was in TPM,so not AS bad as TPM.I'm still pretty sure that Yoda's theme poping up in the conveyor belt sequence(???) is tracked from ESB. K.M.Who now figured out that Obi wan had put a tracking device on the Slave One to lead him to Geneosis. End of Review. K.M.Felling better now.
  21. "Williams works by himself. You give him a film and he takes it and delivers the final product. He doesn't like interaction and says he knows what the film needs. I don't work that way, I need more collaboration. Luckily what he came up with was good, but I can't work with someone like that again." From his mouth, to mine to yours... If that is true,then that would give Lucas the right to do anything with whatever competed score Williams wrote if he didn't like parts of it... K.M.Now a bit confused.
  22. Of course Stefan is joking It's a old inside joke since there was this huge debate a while back wether Augie's Municipal Band in TPM was really the Emperor's theme played fast. k.m.
  23. Names for things seem to come after.In ANH,Star Destroyers are called "Crusers",and the Death Star a "Space Station".In Esb,they never mention the name AT-AT. K.M.
  24. Is there a cooler scene with Vader than when he just instantly neutralises the usually elusive and clever Han Solo on Cloud City with a few effortless gestures. K.M.Who loves that scene.
