The concert versions of DotF and Anakin's theme were composed for the end credits! Notice the single bass note at the beginning of "Anakin's Theme?" It's a leftover from the two-note segue from Duel of the Fates... compare it to the end credits track. And there are cues called "End Title Part I" and "End Title Part II." I'm guessing those are the fanfare and Duel of the Fates (presumably there is also a Part III, Anakin's Theme). And finally, neither DotF or Anakin's Theme are used in the film proper (although Duel of the Fates is derived from a film cue of the same name, I think).

I think the "concert arrangements" on Williams albums these days are really just isolated cues from the end credits. If you think about it that way, the end credits are original, while the concert arrangements are not.

Attack of the Clones had the concert arrangement tracked in didn't it?

Actually the End Credits version of ATS on the album is different than the Concert Version,while in the film it's the same.So at least we know williams composed original End Credits different than the concert version.

Oh, yes. I meant the concert version was tracked into the film. As opposed to TPM, where the two concert arrangements were (apparently) composed for the credits.
