Since all three prequel films use the same recording for the main title (if what I’ve heard in the past is true) has anyone considered using different versions of the main title for two of the prequel films? I’m having trouble finding other John Williams recordings beyond what was used for the other films, but I do think other non-Williams recordings could be interesting to use too.

Two possible versions could be Joel McNeely’s recording from 1996 for the Shadows of the Empire soundtrack-

and another is Charles Gerhardt’s 1978 recording from his Classic Film Scores series.

I’m not sure which would go with which film, just thought it’d be interesting for all of the films to have unique main title recordings.
