How do we all feel about the newer Ochi ship shot from poppasketti? I think it’s very much improved, but it may be too iffy to be included. He’s said so himself. Eh?
I like it much more now, the added motion and music adjustment make it seem more credible as part of a genuine movie.
Since the first big version of Ascendant is sticking with Rey Palpatine, I wish there was a moment in the film where we had a version of the Emperor’s theme, but with a female choir. Like maybe you could hear it as Rey is entering the Exegol temple. But I don’t even think a female version of the Emperor’s theme exists anywhere. Or even a dark side version of Rey’s theme.
The melody in Rey’s theme has many similarities to Palpatine’s theme; I hoped that resemblance would be addressed in the actual TROS soundtrack with a hybrid theme or something like that.
Axlanian, the complete score of Phantom Menace features many instances of Palpatine’s theme. I really like this version , it has a different tone from the others, so maybe it can be superimposed with a female choir or some notes from Rey’s melody.
As a plus, though not really the Emperor’s theme, there’s also this haunting piece from AOTC.
