Hi,

I enjoyed Episode III a lot, but there's something that disappointed me: I heard the soundtrack many times, and one of my favourite tracks is the last, with Episode IV's The Thone Room music. But in the cinema there was not Throne Room! wth? After Battle of the Heros it continued with the final music. Was that my theather's fault or is it normal?

It's normal. They'll often record extra music that doesn't make it into the final cut of the film for length reasons. Think of it as a deleted scene, only music.

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!

Lucas has cut a TON of Williams music, even in the original films. Williams sees the film one way, Lucas sees it as another. I have no problem with that. I just wish they would release Williams original scores in the end.

I wanted to stay for the credits, but my friends didn't. So I never got to see for myself.

It's not really seeing the film in different ways, sometimes scenes get cut at the last moment, and the music has to go with it. Or it gets altered slightly, and he has to adjust the music a bit.

They do release the unaltered scores. Like what was already said, the complete soundtracks contain a lot of music that didn't end up in the films.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Not true. Take the opening of Empire Strikes Back. The scene didn't change, but Lucas dropped a wonderful cue of Williams and went for basically no music. And I'm still not buying that Williams didn't score the 'bridge scene' in ROTS.

To the person that said the unaltered scores are released, AOTC's full score hasn't been released. Williams put together a nice little cue for the finale scenes before the iris to lead into the composed 'credits' music. Lucas scraped it and stuck the Imperial March in there.

Same here. Still, I'm kind of glad. The Throne room music belongs in the Throne room. It didn't sound right.


Made for IE Forum's Episode III theme month - May 2005.

From what I gather, the credits were supposed to be a montage or last goodbye of sorts, from Williams to the Star Wars fans. That is why the Throne Room was in there.

Well, in the other 5 soundtracks and the final track is the same as in the movie, or at least 99% the same. But in ROTS a whole theme was deleted!

Independently that you may think it's not appropiate, I think it's a privilege to hear to that wonderful theme in a good cinema with a good audio system.

The ending theme is quite long, it probably didn't just fit. It's really not uncommon at all for an entire cue to be deleted. The VG Shadows of The Empire's main theme was a deleted cue for example.
