A24 4,345 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I'm talking about the cues you hear when they are fatally pierced by their opponent's light saber. Which one do you think is (sounds) the most dramatic? -----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Dude, how about some spoiler warnings? Ben Kenobi's Death and TIE Fighter Attack.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 The best one is when Luke tries to slain Vader in ROJ. Period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Oh please, no contest. WTH is Qui Gon, oh yeah, that waste of a character in TPM, the long haired hippie freak. I have to agree with Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Qui-Gon's death is more dramatic, I think. Of course, Ben's Death is followed by the awesome TIE-fighter/Millennium Falcon Chase, so that's good too, but Qui-Gon's death is more dramatic, IMO.Qui-Gon's death is one of my favorite cues from TPM.- Marc John Williams - Insane Felicia from The Witches of Eastwick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScratch 294 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Bens Death by a hair. I like Qui-gons Death cue a lot though too. How about a Lars' Death vs Schmi's death...? Not nearly as close... I love the rendition of the Force theme as Luke pulls into his desert driveway seeing the burnt remains of Owen and Beru.Jeff - who looks forward to hearing "Mace Windu's Noble End" Suite from The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (E.W.

A24 4,345 Posted October 27, 2003 Author Share Posted October 27, 2003 How about a Lars' Death vs Schmi's death...? Not nearly as close... Yes, those two bits (Ben&Qui-Gon) are really Uber pieces. Two deaths, two musical stand outs! I especially like the few opening notes of Ben's Death just before the dramatic Leia rendition. Only in the Seventies (and before that, of course) these lines were allowed. And in Qui-Gon's Death I like the French Horns playing the Duel of the Fates string sequence.-----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Leader 2 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Neither! The most dramatic death is that for the death of Jabba the Hutt! So tragic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morn 8 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 I guess Qui-Gon's Death..... it's a dramatic piece, Ben Kenobi's Death and TIE Fighter Attack... well it leads into a great action piece better than Qui-Gon's Death... but the scoring of the death is less dramatic.

Trumpeteer 302 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Hmm. Good question. I think Ben's death is superior visually and musically. I like the string pluck as he is killed, then the use of Leia's theme to express sorrow and sadness. I don't want to include the music for the TIE fighters because it has nothing to do with Ben.You could say the same for Qui-Gon's death. The music right after that scene continues on to the Gungans and the Queen. They have nothing to do with the death, so why judge that music, simply because it follows it?Jeff -- rambling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morn 8 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Boba Fett's hey, you might not like his death but it's realistic, for example, a ww2 tank ace who destroyed about 500 enemy tanks, finally got killed when driving up to the front by a rocket from a P-47! Shit happens to the best of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
