Yeah, I was thinking yesterday about how you could squeeze it in to ROTS. It has a certain finality to it, and even ends with “A New Hope shall emerge”, so it sort of feels like it should play all the way up to the end of the ending montage, which is how it’s used in its Rebels episode. You could try to sync the bit about the Empire rising with the shot of the Imperialised Venators and Vader looking at the Death Star, the bit about not returning to the Temple with Yoda landing on Dagobah, and the bit about the New Hope with Luke being delivered to the Lars Homestead. My worry is that would be too on the nose and would unnecessarily distract from the score.

On a similar note: what if you nicked Palpatine’s TROS message from Fortnite and stuck it over Order 66 or something? It’d probably ruin the emotional gravitas of that scene, but surely if anything is “the day of the Sith” which corrects “the great error” after “the work of generations”, it would be the bit in the movie literally called “Revenge of the Sith” in which the secret Sith Lord takes his revenge.
