Also, I like the idea of, if you’re going to use tracked/older music, finding alternate variations on that music as performed by other orchestras. It kind of neutralizes the sort of “pulled out of it” aspect that tracked music can lend to an edit. “Oh, that’s just music from X movie” becomes “hey…wow, wait a minute.”
I understand where you’re coming from completely. Thing is, TROS already has a LOT of music in it that was tracked from other films, most of the time in places people wouldn’t even notice. My plans for music additions should be pretty subtle stuff, I think.
Also, I believe someone’s posted a version of the Death Star duel that has the concert version of Duel of the Fates mixed in and it works REALLY well. I can’t remember where I saw it here though. Maybe there are alternate performances of it that could work just as well, or maybe better due to it not being so immediately recognizable to fans.
Yeah, this one?
I loved the tv spot that used Duel of the Fates so I took a stab at recutting the song to fit the first section of Rey and Kylo’s Duel. Did some color correction as well.

It’s quite good so I’m definitely considering it. These were my thoughts from that thread: “I was against this but I actually think this works pretty well. I’d be worried about it seeming like it comes out of nowhere in context, but maybe you could tease it in the preceding scene (and maybe even the Force duel as well). One thing I’d do personally to differentiate it is use the instrumental only version, especially as choral pieces are less common in the ST scores.”
