Popular Post artguy360 1,843 Posted February 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2022 Do you know what I mean? The opening blare of brass, the moody brooding music, the militaristic drums, the acrobatic use of leitmotifs, the menacing brass throughout and some sweeping and renditions of the Force theme, this track is pure JW bad-ass attitude. It's not just 'epic' it has a real sense of propulsion and ill-intent. What other contenders are there for moments when JW just kicks the orchestra into another gear? https://youtu.be/pykumg2nKtI leeallen01, Evanus, Edmilson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 One of John Williams' very best cues. I love the building propulsion/dread as Anakin walks through the hallway with the mouse droids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabulin 3,511 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 prominent, timbrally isolated, highly active trombones in the bassline have that badass feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,055 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 The track has lots of cool moments, although it's quite disjointed. GerateWohl and eitam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameron007 43 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 It's not nearly as badass without the drums that they STILL didn't add on the remastered version. "Film mixes" my ass... Tydirium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Film mixes" my ass... Those were micro-edited in from the percussion stems in "Boys Into Battle", so that doesn't count. "Film mixes" in this case refers to the takes used in the film, not film edits. The version we got on the album is as-recorded and intended.

You would think, but IIRC, the film version is indeed the way it was written! Of course, Williams was the producer for the OST, so he must have decided he didn't like the added percussion after all, at least for album purposes. But that stuff was indeed recorded for this cue. EDIT: And yes, with or without the percussion, all the Mustafar music in this cue is pretty badass. Love the dissonant synth arpeggios as Anakin lands.

Sometimes I even feel a little more negatively : the track is too disjointed, although it has a lot of cool moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,684 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 The main section is really cool and something that I remember drawing my attention initially. Some of the lower key parts of the cue feel less interesting - I'm almost surprised that JW didn't do some microediting to focus on the prominent aspects.

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I love this track and I love how intense the score went. Not something I really expected from John Williams Star Wars at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
