Listening to the PT score in my car this morning I had a thought. The Score does some 'reverse foreshadowing,' using themes from the OT during the PT in order to bridge moments and add some resonance emotionally.

I don't know if they didn't think of it, or Williams didn't want to or not, but wouldn't it have been neat if some of the leitmotifs from AOTC and ROTS appeared in early forms in the earlier prequels.

Padme meets Anikin, we hear a few notes of what will later be the AOTC love theme.

Anakin complains about Obi in AOTC, we hear a few soft notes of the ROTS "Battle of the Heroes" theme.

In all likelihood those themes weren't even remotely developed when the earlier prequels were in production, but it might have been kinda cool. If I ever do a PT edit, I might do just that.
