I remember it wasn't on the anthology in 1994 and I was mad. Yea, that's a great rendition of Leia's Theme... I love the fanfare that follows it, for the transition to the rebel fleet.

(One of them, anyway). In the end of that track, after the music crescendos for our heroes getting caught in the net, the CD goes to an Insert written for "The Big Thaw" (aka "Han Solo Returns"), before continuing with the next actual Ewok cue. Basically the makers of the 1997 set were tasked with including as much music as possible on the 2CD set, so they stuck a few inserts in random places, such as this one, the Emperor Arrives Insert being added into the beginning of "The Lightsaber", and the "Jabba More Sinister" insert being added into "Luke Confronts Jabba" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Wow I have not followed the Original Trilogy score discussion closely enough as I have missed that info entirely Jason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,359 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I knew from the first time I heard the CD in 1997 that Han and Leia's Love Theme had no reason to be in the middle of the Ewok net scene. I didn't know what it came from though, until I learned it was the film version insert for The Big Thaw. I dunno if Lukas or Ford or someone mentioned it on rec.music.movies, or maybe it was in an issue of FSM somewhere, or maybe the FSM boards, I dunno. But I've always known about it... sadly it's not that easy to edit out.Removing all 3 Inserts (4 if you count the two versions of Funeral Pyre For A Jedi) from the flow of the score and relocating them to bonus tracks helps the ROTJ album flow a bit better, IMHO. That Jabba cue that pre-cedes the Rancor music is already too long, and making it longer with an insert from another cue entirely doesn't help.

Smeltington 1,440 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Jason, has anyone ever put together a guide to the OT scores with this type of info, similar to the Indiana Jones music site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,359 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'm sure multiple people have, but there are none online that I'm aware of at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltington 1,440 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Ok, thanks... I guess it's been too long since there have been any new developments with those scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,359 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I think you should start with HP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I think you should start with HP2 BloodBoal has been telling me that for the past 2 years. After my Hobbit SE album analysis I promise I'll get to that. Or perhaps I should leave The AUJ to Mr. Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
