ROTS End Credits

Author
Time

I don't think I'd ever given the ROTS soundtrack a listenthrough until now. I'm listening to the extended edition someone on the internet put together, which is all well and good (beyond the odd stray sound effect they couldn't remove)...

 

But does anyone know why the End Credits feature "The Throne Room"? It makes no sense.

Because the movie is over and it's okay to go to the bathroom now?

Oh yeah, I thought that was weird too. It's not in the credits of the actual movie, only the cd. The other 5 soundtracks don't have anything like that. (Maybe Lucas was stockpiling music for the re-revamped ending of JEDI 2017 edition.) I guess it was probably just a little extra flourish/sign-off by Williams since it was the last movie.

Yeah, but the End Credits always have themes from the movie.

It was a ...

"throne" ... bathroom ... geddit?

Ah, man, that fell flat.

Wait, what are the actual film's credits?

I believe the same as the cd but without that entire section with the old throne room music from the first movie. (Which is weird since it's not like the credits would have gotten a lot shorter at the last minute).

I've always taken the Throne Room's inclusion as evidence that the real order of viewing is 4-5-6-1-2-3.

Wait, the soundtrack to ROTS has sound effects from the movie during the music? Why? How does that even happen?

i liked the throne room section - i wish the end-credits were just like the OST. Was like a grand send-off.

i had this crazy idea that the end credits for ROTS should contain a compilation of all the great themes of the whole saga and instead of playing over a star-field, they should have footage of all the wrap-parties in the background from all 6 movies.  Kinda like in the 80s whenever a series finale aired, they would bring out the actors for a curtain call and show the party afterwards.  At least do it for the premiere showing of ROTS at that Manns theatre.

think of how hilarious it would have been to see that footage of fisher and ford from 1977 - still in costume - sharing a joint!!  BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[sigh] then again maybe not.  at the ROTS wrap party, lucas took the microphone and said something like "when your part of a crew, your part of a crew - and when your not....your not"  WTF?!?!  :(

Only because it's a fan-made extended edition. The one-disc official release is obviously lacking a lot of the music, so someone did their best to get as much of the rest of the music out of the movie as they could. Sometimes effects just can't be helped. The odd spaceship engine and such.

Ah, I see. Thought you were saying the official soundtrack had effects sounds on it.

it was in that making of ROTS book.  he said a lot of stupid annoying stuff in that book - but this one I may have not quite correct after further consultation...hmm.

the quote is "you're all friends, you know each other, but I have a tendency to not let my professional life and personal life mix" "after a movie finishes, everyone goes there seperate ways.  When you're together, you're together.  when you're not, you're not"

So im told that below that paragraph is a picture of lucas holding the microphone - maybe thats where I got the idea he actually said this to the crew during the wrap party.  its possible he was explaining just to the author his feelings.  The quote is still dubious to me becuase lucas is trying to rationalize his notorious aloofness and disregard for anyone who isnt a sycophant.  but there is still a chance he hadn't completely abandoned even basic social grace.

I didn't get this book cuz lucas just spouted so much grandstanding nonsense it turned me off, and I  thought they would one day release the visual script. so Il

hmph...not sure how that happened.  unless my thumb moved over the touchpad - highlighting the paragraph and then i deleted and just dind't notice.

crap..now im not sure what I wrote :(

anyways, i like my idea of at least having the closing credits of episode III play against a background of footage from all the wrap parties.  and then have it as a DVD easter egg.
