It feels less like the PT was scored after TPM and more like Lucas just said “Eh throw in that popular one from the first movie.”
Like the laughable Anakin road trip montage in AOTC that uses Duel of the Fates for some reason.
Yeah. Ugh.
I’m not opposed to themes like that being referenced or re-scored to fit the moment, but it just felt like blatant re-use. They don’t even really defend it on Oxygen and they do a good job of defending musical choices in the PT. =P
