The Phantom Menace Questions

[Dole 11]

OK, I first stumbled upon JWfan.net in 2000 just before The Patriot was released so forgive me if this was discussed before when it first came out, but I was listening to TPM OT the other day and wondered...

1. What exactly is the reference in the title "Augie's Great Municipal Band"? (i.e. Why is that track titled that?)

2. Where is that electronic bridge between the "Droid Invasion" and "The Appearance of Darth Maul" from? Was it just inserted into the album to make the transition between cues smoother or is it from some unrealeased part of the score?

Thanks.

1) Augies was the name of John Williams jazz band if I remember right... and the title is just an allusion to that.

2) That bridge is an alternate to "Jedi High Council I." The film version can be heard on track 5 of the SE.

And that would be when Anakin is taking his little test or whatever. right?

I think it was from a cut moment during the "Droid Invasion".

That's an interesting idea... It's just hard to say because the only time JW uses pure synth in the score at all is during the part when we are seeing the Jedi Council for the first time... I don't know of any cut scene... have you checked to see if there is anything? T-Bones world might have it?

As far as I had been told, it was the alternate to "Jedi Council I"... (when Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan speak to the council... the first time we see them ever) They're about the same length... both synth, the only pure synth part in the score... just makes sense to me...

I guess the real answer is "We arn't 100% sure... but we think it's this."

And now thanks to a Williams fan, Augie is the conductor and composer most famous of the gungans.

She's hot. Maybe Jar Jar should ask her out.

She looks like a man............

We'll know where the music was supposed to go when we get a correct assembled version of the complete score released.

[Luke Skywalker 1,286]

I think it is jar jar who look like a woman

[Red 73]

Jar Jar looks like a Bugs Bunny / Jamacan stereotype love child.

What I had heard was that Palpatine's first name is Augustus, hence "Augie's Great Municipal Band."

[Kendal_Ozzel 32]

A common rumor; but no, there is no official first name for Palpatine. Augie is indeed Augarra Jowil.

[Luke Skywalker 1,286]

Sidious is his real name

Ah, okay. Thanks for clearing that up.

I didn't think this deserved a new topic, so I'm occupying this one because it's somehwat related and the discussion seems to be closed, so I'm not interrumpting anything.

Somebody give this man a Pulitzer!

I just wanted to share with you the moral of the story: if you watch the prequels over and over and over, they'll eventually become good. Also, you will forget what number goes after 7, but that's another story.

[Mr. Breathmask 480]

So they are enjoyable, as long as you lower yourself to the intellectual capacity of a five-year-old?

I see.

[Red 73]

I know you can find good in almost anything if you study it enough. But when it all comes down to it, that article is a piece of fanboyism, written by a fanboy.

[Lurker 5]

"Obi-Wan... there... is good in the prequels. I know there is... still... "

You prequel bashers are mean, mean, bad people.

[Ollie 859]

Nope, Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back are still great thru adult eyes and the rest are still crappy.

[GoodMusician 53]

and here I thought this was a phantom menace score discussion... my bad..

[Elmo Lewis 6]

I hijacked the thread in my post above, because I didn't think the article itself deserved a new topic and the original discussion here seemed to have ended.

Please feel free to return the thread to its original path if you wish to add anything else.

[Luke Skywalker 1,286]

bah! more of the same crap from both sides.

Come on bring indy IV already Lucas & spielberg, so a fresh kind of bash can surface....

Some of us have been bashing that idea for years here.

I think Last Crusade ended it nicely, but since they're making Indy IV, I'm optimistic for it. I'm open to it.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251]

As am I. It is completely possible that the film will be good. you know.

[Delorean90 32]

Yeah. And it's really exciting to have the thought of a new Indiana Jones soundtrack by Williams in my hands.
