Star Wars A New Hope without music?

Author

Hello. Does anyone know of a version of A New Hope without the music? Just dialogue and sound fx? I want to compose my own music to the film.

This sort of thing (for any movie) has long been the holy grail of fan editors. It has been pretty much impossible to achieve, though I’ve heard there have been good results with specialized music-removal machine-learning algorithms. But no, as far as I know, that does not exist (yet).

That being said, the movie is sufficiently visual and the music is so fundamental to the film that you might just try writing music to play under the film with no other sound.

It’s a long shot, but you might be able to achieve something mixing the movie’s audio with the isolated film score.

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution… There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”

There is the official version that is played in the Concert series. But getting that indeed requires a raid.

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.
