Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Well i was 'playing' with the options in my Micro componet system (micro Chaine) while playing ROJ SE and I put the Equalizer options to Rock. Well it bass the bass sounds, but it clarifies the other sounds! There is more clear sound, i thinkMine has only flat-pop-jazz-rock but i know others have classical and more, so it may sound better than mine. Well try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Maybe I'm just deaf.I don't see any real problem with the sound of any of the RotJ albums over the years and am happy we at least got all the music finally in 1997.(and don't bring up the Sail Barge source cue please).K.M.

ymenard 54 Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Yeah I mean ROTJ even with so-so sound at least doesn't have all the mixing problems found in the TESB 2CD set. It's a lesser problem then having all the cuts from TESB mixed differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morn 8 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 SOund of ROTJ isn't that bad, it's just that the EQ's are totally screwed, I think it's better than the others in clearity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Actually I think the sound of ROTJ SE is quite lacking in some parts. Specially in cues like The Emperor's Throne Room and The Dark Side Beckons ( :cry: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 You always have those cues in the box set which if I understand come from a different source and are EQ ed different.K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpigeon 3 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 what exactly is the Dark Side Beckons? Is it the Emperor's theme or something. because there is no track title on my SE that is called that.Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 It's the music that accompanies the scene in Return of the Jedi when Luke finally snaps and defeats Vader in their last dueling scene.TESB is my best score overall as I stated,but this is IMO THE BEST SCORED SCENE of any Star Wars movie,or any movie I can think of for that matter.The quasi religious chorus-orchestra flowing along the clashing lightsabers and Vader retreating slowly as Luke ovepowers him.Brilliant!K.M.

Justin 2 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I have yet to listen to Jedi on my new Philipps Magnovox Stereo with Dynamic Base Boost. Justin -Who will give it a listen this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I have yet to listen to JediJustin -Who will give it a listen this afternoon.Oh My,you never heard THAT cue.As said in the liner notes of the box set issued in 1994,it was the most wanted piece of film music of all films!I remember purchasing the set,and since there wasn't track titles,I litterally ripped open the box and saw "The Final Duel" on the expanded ROTJ c.d. I got goosebumps before I even played it!k.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 Same here, I listened to bits and pieces of the 4 CD's in the music store, looking for those cues I had been dying to hear for soooooo long.I to had goosebumps when that dark chorus of Final Duel set in.Stefancos- wondering if a better 30 seconds of music was ever composed.

Romão 2,274 Posted October 30, 2002 Share Posted October 30, 2002 I'm with you guys on this one. That piece of music is the ultimate climax in the starwars saga. I doubt if they recorded that piece again it would sound the same.And it works wonderfully in the movie.Possibly the most moving and powerful 30 seconds of music ever writen.

Morn 8 Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 You always have those cues in the box set which if I understand come from a different source and are EQ ed different. With lower clearity, but I only have that release in mp3 without a very high bit ratePossibly the most moving and powerful 30 seconds of music ever writen.I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewdog1 50 Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 I hope no one minds if I join 'The Dark Side Beckons' love fest going on here. Like Merk, Stefan and the King have mentioned already, THE BEST 30 SECONDS COMPOSED OF ALL TIME! Still gives me goosebumps everytime I hear that part of the music. And I have listened to that a lot.stewdog - Rudy - another piece that gives me goosebumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 It's by far the part from th Star Wars musical saga I listen to more often.And everytime I watch the film I cry in that scene. Everytime. There aren't many movies that conatin scenes like that (I would say 80% of the ffect of the scene comes from JW, maybe even more).BTW, what does Dark Side Beckons really mean. I know all the words, I just don't quite understand the meaning of the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted October 31, 2002 Author Share Posted October 31, 2002 yeah i want to knowI think it means the dark side overtakes or something...surely i am worng and it is the contrary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 We'll have to wait for some clarification made by our english-speaking friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewdog1 50 Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 It means that the Dark Side is inviting Luke in. Luke was at the door step of turning to the dark side at that point. He may have even touched the dark side to defeat Vader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have even touched the dark side to defeat Vader.Actually,it's ironic that in my understaning of the movie Luke DID turn to the dark side for 30 seconds or so.The music may be be indicative of the struggle and conflicts within him(the tone of the orchestra seem opposite to the chorus).He actually just stopped himself short of killing Vader ultimately.Note to Joe BTW who finds Vader wimpy in RotJ.He was never as malevolent as when he is luring Luke toward that final duel.K.M.
