I swore in theaters I remember hearing Carmina Burana as Vader charges the Jedi temple. Does anyone else remember it? Maybe in a real early print or something?

Not that it's important, i wouldn't want to try and "reinstate" that piece of overused opera anyway. But I swear I remember it.

Since Carmina Burana is like an hour long, which part did you think you heard?

You can't be serious! The part that's used in movies too much! I guess it might be the introduction, with the low choral voices that pick up into an apocalyptic climax that's great until you hear it so many times.

Yeah, I'm serious. I just checked Amarok. It's a little over an hour long. CB opens and closes with O Fortuna, is that what you're thinking of? Or you could be thinking of Vulnera Plango Fortune ... it's got some range and gets pretty frenetic. Or Ave Formossissima ... it segues into O Fortuna in a fairly apocalyptic manner.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure part of In Taberna Quando Sumus was used for part of LucasArts' TIE Fighter theme.

O Fortuna, I remember now. I figured since it is overused you would know which part I was talking about. But that's cool. Do you remember it then? If it was in theaters they replaced it on the DVD.

I never really paid as much attention to the PT as I did to the OT. I saw the scene you're talking about on HBO a while ago, and I just remember a statement from the Imperial March, then some prequel-standard underscore. I saw it three times in theaters (yes, it's true), and didn't notice anything from OF. Maybe someone on jwfan.net would know more?

Kinda doubt it. With the exception of the Psycho nod in ANH, the SW music is all John Williams.

Maybe you're remembering a fan trailer or you've been watching Excalibur or Glory too much.
