Vadakin

I'm glad to hear that Ady will be taking out the Battle of the Heroes music from ANH. The main problem was that it doesn't in any way fit the musical style of ANH. However, I wouldn't mind that duel to be scored in SOME way. But that's just personal preference.

Wow, I haven't been here in years. I wasn't even sure I even had a login for the site. The Force was with me.

Anyway, regarding the ANH duel, the only piece of music that I think might work is the cue from Empire when Luke is fighting Vader and Vader starts Force-throwing objects at him before sending him flying through the window. The same cue is used in ROTS for the beginning of the Yoda/Sidious duel so I'd worry that it might be overkill to use it for Ben/Vader. But it's slow-tempo'd enough to fit the style of that duel.

Incidentally, the first two notes of that cue in Empire are very close to the first two notes of Duel Of The Fates and for years I've had myself convinced that Williams based Duel Of The Fates on that cue, simply because of those two notes.

This may have been answered already. If so then I apologise.

Are you going to fix the opening crawl? It's been a while since I watched Empire Strikes Back but I have a distinct memory of the crawl texts not being fully on the screen when it appears. I may just be remembering a fullscreen version and if that's the case then you can ignore this.

If I'm right though and you do plan on fixing it, it may be worthwhile doing it from scratch. You could just ignore it I suppose, but it's inconsistent with the crawls from the rest of the saga which either start out right on the edge or just inside.

If you do decide to redo the crawl from scratch, I may be able to help. I think I'm getting pretty good at creating these crawls.

On a related but slightly off topic note, I've read you aren't planning to do any more work on Star Wars Revisited, so I wanted to ask if it would be ok with you if I went back and fixed the crawl. I've noticed that the timing is off on it in Revisited. It would be just for me and I wouldn't try to upload and pass the whole thing off as my own, but I still wanted to check if it would be ok with you.

I hope it's ok for me to post links here. This is a rough version of what I have in mind. I did it earlier today. It's not perfect, it was a quick 20 minute job:

You may recognise the starfield...it's from Revisited. You can download the video from vimeo at the bottom of the page.

If you want I can try a version for The Empire Strikes Back.
