Jabba the Hutt-Theme in TPM

[Josh500 1,615]

Where is it exactly on the UE CD??? I still can't find it .,. . can some of you help me out here???

[Ollie 1,059]

It's on the original CD as well.

I don't remember the exact time but I think it's around the 2-3 minute mark of Anakin Defeats Sebulba.

On the TPM:UE its at the end of track 32, Sebulba's Dirty Hand/Qui-Gon's Pep Talk.

[Romão 2,274]

It's hidden in that big fanfare. In the original cd, you hear the fanfare twice on the track Anakin defeats Sebulba. Jabba's theme is muffled in the middle of the fanfare.

[Josh500 1,615]

Which instrument(s) play the Jabba-Theme? And which part of the theme??? I think it`s pretty hard to find. . . or perhaps I should listen to the Jabba-Theme again, in its entirety.

[Romão 2,274]

I think it's also a Tuba in TPM. And it's the very beggining of the melody.

[Josh500 1,615]

Thanks, I think I've got it!!!

[Luke Skywalker 1,793]

You should be ashamed. even KM got it before you..

[Lurker 5]

KM had extra special assistance.

[Romão 2,274]

No on to the Emperor's theme in TPM.

[SturgisPodmore 0]

Which is more obvious and also brilliant!

~Sturgis

[Marian Schedenig 8,178]

I heard Jabba the very first time and the Emperor after a couple of weeks.

[Mr. Breathmask 555]

Now see if you can find the Imperial March at the very end of the ESB credits.

[Trumpeteer 302]

It would be hard to notice if you don't read the liner notes.

[Marian Schedenig 8,178]

And then on to the Superman March in The Matrix.

[Romão 2,274]

I just found Holst Jupiter on Braveheart!

[King Mark 3,626]

It's like looking at one of those "magic eye" 3D pictures,it just suddenly poped out.

K.M.Who probably would still be searching for it without Neil's clip.

[Mr. Breathmask 555]

And then on to the Superman March in The Matrix.

Marian -

What? 8O

[ChrisAfonso 186]

it just suddenly poped out.

Does that happen in Rome, too?

[Docteur Qui 1,544]

[Marian Schedenig 8,178]

And then on to the Superman March in The Matrix.

What?

When Trinity jumps through the Window in the prologue, there's a rhythm in Davis' score that sounds pretty much like the Superman rhythm. Maybe a coincidence, maybe not... the connection certainly fits the sequence.

Marian - who has to credit Thor for noticing this.

[Mr. Breathmask 555]

Hey, that's neat. Not sure if it's really a nod, but it sounds pretty cool.

[John Takis 206]

Here's a challenge for the uninitiated. The Throne Room theme (not to be confused with the martial version of the Force theme) from the original Star Wars pops up twice in the ROTJ score. Identify both times.

Isn't it mentioned in the booklet? I think I have read it there. (In the RCA version, of course)

[Elmo Lewis 6]

Finally, after six long years of confusion, I hear Jabba's theme. So you all weren't making it up - I just wasn't playing it loud enough.

[Joe Brausam 214]

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe the throne room theme appears:

1. During the Hyperspace cue as the rebel fleet prepares to jump.

2. At the end of the end credits fanfare.

You are correct, sir.

You are now part of the tribe.

[Joe Brausam 214]

I feel special now.

[Lurker 5]

You're a feisty little one, but you'll soon learn some respect.

[Henry B 50]

Now, where's the Throne Room theme in ESB?

[Luke Skywalker 1,793]

Neil is getting soft nowadays...

[Docteur Qui 1,544]

Now see if you can find the Imperial March at the very end of the ESB credits.

I really disagreed with that from the booklet. Even if I could hear it I doubt it's intentional.

[King Mark 3,626]

1. During the Hyperspace cue as the rebel fleet prepares to jump.

I never noticed it before,it's an action version of the Throne Room theme

[Lurker 5]

It's very much intentional.

Neil

[Luke Skywalker 1,793]

i agree

[Romão 2,274]

How could it not be?

[Docteur Qui 1,544]

You're serious? We are talking about the last crashing notes of the end credits, right after the Rebel Fanfare is played for the last time, aren't we?

[Romão 2,274]

Well, to be perfectly honest, I listened to the cd today. and I really can't hear the Imperial March in that finale.

[Romão 2,274]

I mean the very end of the end credits.

[Luke Skywalker 1,793]

It is just the first 4 notes of the main melody.

And they ARE.

[Mr. Breathmask 555]

I know I posted the exact timecodes somewhere, but I can't find them anymore. I know which thread it was, but it just doesn't pop up in the search engine.

[Lurker 5]

Your powers are slipping, Thor.....I mean Marc.

Neil

[Ray Barnsbury 8]

The Rebel Fleet/End Title, 6:02. This is where the first four notes of the Imperial March are played as crashing afterbeats. I'm sure it was intentional, and I love it!

Sorry but I just can't hear it

[SturgisPodmore 0]

Listen harder.

~Sturgis

[Henry B 50]

Yeah, and listen to 5:52 for the Throne Room motif while you're at it.

Cerrabore - disappointed in the lack of response

[Luke Skywalker 1,793]

now that you mention it, its true

[Docteur Qui 1,544]

I can hear it alright, but I still wouldn't call it intentionally resembling the March. It's a really common, almost-but-not-quite predictable note/chord progression for a huge finale. I'm not convinced.

[Romão 2,274]

I'm not conviced either. It's not flagrant enough. It's just a chord progression. Nothing there that sugests the Imperial March to me.

[John Takis 206]

Cerrabore - disappointed in the lack of response

I believe you're referring to the fanfare that precedes the Throne Room theme in SW, but I just don't hear any connection. No melodic similarities (descending instead of ascending), completely different rhythms (triplets instead of duplets) ... they're both brass fanfares, that's it. Star Wars is full of them. The most that can be said is that both fanfares begin with one note then progressively add more, but that's such a well-worn musical convention, it's not enough to draw a parallel, in my opinion.

I DO think that the tail end of the ESB credits IS meant to evoke the Imperial March. Both melodically and rhythmically, it's the first four notes ... not so easy to dismiss as "a chord progression" unrelated to the march. If it were more flagrant, with the fifth note of the theme added, it would be overkill, making it less elegant and more corny.
