ROTS: Does the Music Match the Track Titles?

[ChrisAfonso 186]

I have a feeling some of "Enter Lord Vader" could have to do with the Dooku Duel

[Todd 30]

I'm pretty sure Enter Lord Vader is the Seperatist Slaughter...

[ChrisAfonso 186]

Or that one.

[John Crichton 4]

Enter Lord Vader an edited Moving Things Along? An interesting call, it seems to be a bit too thematic for that IMO. Still, looking good.

[Jim Ware 526]

It's not that thematic, apart from the last minute or so. We know that the complete cue includes the Imperial march and the Emperor's theme. This cue also immediately precedes Anakin's Dark Deeds in the film.

It also looks like it's been cut down considerably. The full cue runs somewhere between six and eight minutes.

[John Crichton 4]

The first part of Enter Lord Vader also sounds like the same motif from the start of Anakin's Dark Deeds, which could mean that kind of connection between the two. We'll find out soon enough.

[ADigitalMan 0]

I assume by the track titles and my limited knowledge of the plot (I've attempted to be relatively spoiler free) that the ROTS soundtrack is not in chronological order, as was the case with Ep I and Ep II. If one was to listen to this soundtrack chronologically (i.e. in the order the cues are heard in the movie) what would the order need to be?

[ChrisAfonso 186]

There's a thread about this, take a look at it.
