Y'know, I just found the original version of Duel of the Fates from TPM, and I have to say IMO it's a little more OT-ish then the final version. My idea wasn't to have Duel of the Fates over any pre-existing space battle footage, but over some new footage we may create. Perhaps when we have some of that new footage available (God knows when) I'll make a concept video to see if this different version of Duel of the Fates would fit in well.

Because I really, really, really like Duel of the Fates. :P

 So do I.  I think it'd be a nice motif as well, though I also see the concern of too much PT influence.  You should upload the version you found for all of us to sample.  I don't think any idea is completely thrown out, and perhaps we can bring it up again later.

EDIT: Actually, according to my scheme, it barely won (with help from the maybes), so it's automatically up for more discussion.

Well see, here's the thing: if you don't consider the PT to be part of your Star Wars universe, then Duel of the Fates is just a cool new song in Return of the Jedi. If you do, it's a nice "callback" to the prequels. So it's really a win-win.

I can understand that maybe a few people might feel it's not "OT" enough, or something, but you can't deny it's a very powerful song, and would fit the final battle of the saga/trilogy very well. 

Anyways, that's my argument for it. I'll upload a video soon to show the original Duel of the Fates.
