I really enjoy trying to find the right track that fits in without any edits. I really like Band on The Run for the start of Empire, starting right after the crawl. It’s wonderfully evocative under the lonely probes being sent out, it covers the rebels on the run AND Han Solo as a man with a death mark on his head. Very tasty.

There’s a whole vibe for things that fit into things. This is kind of like that.

Ideally you get to enjoy this as a viewer, too, especially if you are as familiar with a track as you are with the film. Someone described it to me as being like watching two cars approaching each other at an intersection, knowing they are going to collide, so you get to experience the anticipation and the crash.

It’s important to note that no-one was injured in this metaphor, by the way.
