Seth 67 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'm watching Return of the Jedi right now and I just noticed that a few seconds of music from Empire are tracked into the scene where Wedge fires his torpedoes into the Death Star's reactor core. The music comes from the second half of "Losing a Hand" right before it transitions into the Hyperspace cue. Is this a new thing for the DVD or has it always been this way?

TheRuleOfThirds 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 "Yoda and the Force" was tracked into the scene where Luke tells Leia they're related. "Do you remember your mother?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth 67 Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 "Yoda and the Force" was tracked into the scene where Luke tells Leia they're related. "Do you remember your mother?I was not aware of that. So what's the situation with these two sequences? Did Williams not originally score them or did something happen after the recording sessions?

TheRuleOfThirds 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Someone realized that TESB was better, so they used it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodMusician 56 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 What about Empire Strike Back. In that same cue you speak of, Losing a Hand. There's a Darth Vader statemtent before the hyperspace music.The one on the soundtrack is more robust than that which is in the film. I recognise the one in the film from something else but I can't place it. Any idea on that one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Would that be one that plays during the added scene for the SE?btw, Hyperspace is also tracked over the snowspeeders looking for Han and Luke, and part of I think Arrival on Dagobah or Yoda and the Force (not sure which one - Luke's theme anyway) is tracked over a last-minute addition to the finale (some FX shots were added at the very last moment, after the film had been scored and even the post-production wrap party had already been given).

Ollie 1,053 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 In the Special Edition of TESB some of the short tracked cues were replaced with their original versions I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeshopk 8 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The fanfare for that sequence with Wedge and Lando was great. There was no need to replace it with the ESB music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I believe Mark is right.Haven't seen TESB SE since 1997, but I seem to recall that it had the correct ending for Yoda and the Force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRuleOfThirds 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The end of "Departure of Boba Fett" still isn't in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielle 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The end of "Departure of Boba Fett" still isn't in there.Almost right. The music for the duel between Luke and Vader is still absent, however the music for the sequence immediately before that (Slave 1 taking off) was definitely restored. Another part restored was the ending for "The Magic Tree". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 The end of "Departure of Boba Fett" still isn't in there.Well, not the very last part (if we're talking SE CD); that underscores part of the Vader/Luke duel. But the stuff that was written for the Slave I taking off and the following gunfight was put back in the 1997 release, after being cut from the original version of the movie.

In addition to Departure of Boba Fett, a number of Imperial fleet transitions were replaced with the original cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,053 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 One should be the sequence of Capt Needa's shuttle transfering to Vader's ship before his death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame the part I was talking about still isn't in there. It works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodMusician 56 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 The part I'm talking about is Vader walking out to the shuttle "Prepare my shuttle for departure" I believe is his line.Luke is hanging underneath Cloud City and Vader is leaving, Leah has just turned around I think to head back to luke...You hear Darth Vader's theme, but it's not what is in the track... is that an added scene?

The music almost tells us Luke is doing well, while he is in fact still fighting for his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldsmithfan 6 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 What I want to know is how did the music for the first trilogy get where it was intended to be (most of the time) only for Lucas to allow the prequel trilogy's scores to be tracked six ways from Sunday? If I were him, I'd watch Mr. Burt like a hawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontyrian 0 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I HATE tracked music. It's sad that it's in all 6 episodes of Star Wars...such great music, and in all 3 LOTR...the best music (though the tracking doesn't compare to SW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
