There is other music out there. In fact, I would say to not use that specific music cue in any of the prequel films. That cue with the scene in ROTJ is one of the most powerful moments in that film. It weakens a tad for me, if I've already heard in a previous film. If that makes sense. There are other great John Williams cues out there. All of this is simply my opinion though.

I see what you're saying. However, Maul lacks a real theme for himself, and I've pilfered through enough of Williams known and lesser-known works to know that none really fit him as well as the Sith/Emperor's theme (which I also plan on incorporating in his landing on Tatooine.) 

And honestly, one of the goals of my edits is to add MORE OT music to the prequels. Not an excessive amount. but there needs to be more of a connection between the films IMO. For instance, the Federation March is used wayyyyyy to much.

Another possible music alteration for the lightsaber battle. 

Thoughts? 

I personally liked it. It wasn't an emotional piece like the other one you had, and, well, I just think it works really well. I love the idea of putting OT music in the PT. Keep up the good work.

Glad you liked it Cobb.

I plan on editing the time where the shields block Qui-Gon and Maul from each other to add some of Maul's new "lines" as well....

Does anybody know of footage from other films that would work as establishing shots for INSIDE the Jedi Temple? I want the look of a monastery with a twist. Spiritual and beautiful. I however, don' know where to look for such footage.

Depends what your looking for off the top of my head possibles I can think of; Lord of the Rings... Especially Rivendale or Minas Tirith may work. Equilibrium, the main hall shots of the Celerics Headquarters? Some of the interior shots of the Emporers Palace in Gladiator? The League of Shadows place in Batman Begins? There are some oriental films such as Hero, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Anna and the King all may also have interior shots which could be used.

Those are some fantastic suggestions sir.
