So I had a bit of fun today experimenting with adding some more classic Star Wars themes to the movie. Again, I wanted to do this fairly sparingly, but I felt like I could go a little further with it. It’s also important to me that we don’t hear any familiar themes until that first Imperial March at Vader’s castle, just for impact.
So here’s three tests. Nothing is final here, it just gives you an idea of what I’m trying to do.
First one is in the hallway at the fortress, where Kenobi finally gets back in tune with the Force.

Second is the first half of the final duel. (I feel like a lot of people might like this one)

And finally, the transition from the duel to Alderaan.

I rendered these out at a pretty high quality level, so if you’re so inclined you can download it and check out how the new source files look.
I feel like these are more than enough regarding additional music. Not sure if I want to use them or not, so let me know what you think.
