George looks like a real miser in your avatar.

LOL, it's about time to retire it. It's from a guest appearance on The Colbert Report from 2005 or 2006 in response to something Colbert said. Was pretty hilarious at the time, but right now George is just creepy.

I agree that in today's scores, walls of sound without a coherent theme or melody have become the norm, and by that score the prequel scores are better. But just like the films they're based on, I think it's also OK to lament what they could have been, as well as some of the poorer decisions/deficiencies compared to the earlier scores. Maybe that's not totally fair, because I regard the Empire score to be the greatest, ever, but this thread invited the comparison. Besides, this is the Internet! Fair, shmair

By the way, in case it wasn't obvious, the cue I'm referring to from Empire is from the scene where Vader is force-chucking things at Luke and he goes, er, through the window

I would describe the PT score as dull and uninteresting, "bad" isn't quite the right word.

I think that about sums it up. There are a few memorable cues, but they are sparsely populated among a mostly 'meh' ocean. In Empire, except for maybe the first few tracks, it ain't like that. But again, not the fairest of comparisons
