The only problem is that now, it would be preferable to integrate that theme into the underscore. The title theme wasn't used only for the titles, but throughout the trilogy in the score. If you want to leave it as just the title theme, it still is lovely, but in Star Wars, it would be great to have worked in, perhaps as a Republic theme (there was the Republic fanfare in ROTS, but it wasn't in the previous two films).


It seems to me that this new theme is similiar in style to the JW theme that you should really only have to drop parts of the Korngold music in key parts of SOTDS and you got it.

rancher,

no disrespect, but this sounds like you have seen these scenes in a trailer in the theater and somewhere along the way your memories had these scenes in the movie itself. the problem with the scattered claims of seeing the cut scenes in the theaters is there is no evidence of the scenes ever playing. no bootleg footage, no audio recordings, no confirmations from official sources, no soundtrack releases with extra music that can not be matched to the existing film, nada. it is regrettable, but there is no hard evidence for these scenes to have been seen in the theater.


Nope, never saw any trailers for Empire until the DVD set was released. As for the evidence, I know there isn't any on the net that I could see. That must have been some pretty powerful LSD topping on the popcorn for me to have seen these cuts twice eh?

Could it be that the Paramount in Edmonton got a preview test copy? It's not like Edmonton is some backwater city. Why would it be impossible?
I provided the location, dates and exact times. Maybe the SW higher ups can find something out about this in the future.


I'm not saying impossible, just highly improbable. If any official word came out of LFL (one way or the other) then I'll change my opinion.

DVD burner problems

Time
Lately, my burner (an LG something or other) isn't working. It's maybe a year and a half old. It won't copy (it errors out about 2/3 way through the cache process) or burn anymore (again more errors). I borrowed a Sony external burner from a friend and it is giving me the exact same problems. Any ideas what I can do to fix this? Would installing new drivers fix this or ...

Global Warming

The biggest problem with the Global Warming debate is that it detracts and politicizes things that we really should be doing anyway. We (all of us humans) should be taking better care of our planet, managing our natural resources better, reducing pollution, use of fossil fuels, etc. Whether Global Warming is real or not, a tremendous amount of damage is being done to our enviroment but it seems it is easier to debate around the problem than to actually do something about it.

Idea: The 1976 crawl

Originally posted by: TroopermanMy second point is that this is by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, whose music was the inspiration for John Williams AND George Lucas as well. This is a little known fact, but George Lucas bought an album called "The Sea Hawk", a recording of Korngold's film music by Charles Gerhardt, and it was this that inspired him to request the same type of score from J. Williams- he even mentioned "The Sea Hawk" in the conversation.

...

And finally, it's very possible that this was actually the main title theme used in the original TEMP TRACK for Star Wars- notice the similarity to the original Star Wars theme.


A snipet from Trooperman's SOTDS thread. This seems very relevant here.

Thank you Throwaway! Very kind-- and happy New Year to you, and Sluggo too!

This is a great idea-- I didn't know these elements existed. I wish I could be the guy to do it, but it's just too big for me. I'll see if I can dig someone up.

This would be the perfect way to open a "rough-cut" fan edit --which is another great idea.


My thoughts exactly. Happy New Year, all!
