The Lord of the Rings Score Restored (Unused Howard Shore Music Restored To Picture) (Released)
Time

So, there is a lot of unused music in these films, thought I would make videos with the score restored to the picture:

All of these videos are in this Google Drive folder:

This should be in the Fan Edits section, because sometimes the music was for a completely different cut.

To me, hearing/seeing the Dreamworks logo says...

"Congratulations you've just paid to see a movie that you were hoping would be really good but which will only mildly disappoint you"

;-)

Where as the Fox Fanfare always comes with the feint suggestion that you may (Despite your brain telling you that it won't) be about to watch a movie with Lightsabers and Pulse Rifles in it ;-)

Funnily enough, John Williams also wrote this theme.

John Williams CONFIRMED for Episode VII

As a writer of film scores Williams is overrated IMO. Brilliant, but overated. Ennio Morricone and Bernard Hermann are the greatest ever composers of film scores. Every score they did featured a whole new soundscape of different instruments and emotional depths.

The linking scores in Williams work are usually a rehash of everything he's done before. Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park are so similar.

None of his scores are truly the same though.

Jurassic Park uses much more synth than Star Wars.

Harry Potter uses much more Celeste than Indiana Jones (except KOTCS)

With each Indy score, the style difference is huge, Raiders is mostly minor keyed, Temple is frenetic, Crusade is laid back, humorous, and emotional, KOTCS has more Sci-fi.

Star Wars is more Romantic than the others.

and plenty of Williams scores had "new" soundscapes

Plus Williams scored the films in certain ways:

TPM was mostly Pastorale (Anakin is Free, and Arrival at Coruscant), with energetic action music (Take To Your Ships)

AOTC was more rythmic, with all the percussion (Chase thorugh Courscant, The Conveyor Belt, Dooku Vs. Obi-wan)

three quarters of ROTS was scored more like a political thriller, a la Nixon, with brooding low key music, the rest was references to the OT (A home for the Twins, Plans for the Twins).

These arachnids appear a bit large (twice the height of yoda?) and menacing though, so inserting them somewhere without disrupting the focus on the character(s)/scene is greatly limited. I'm interested in seeing these arachnids, but I feel it'd only work at the long-shot of the X-Wing crash and/or maybe while R2 is out in the rain.

"In addition to the very large ones, there were also some smaller, knee-height ones; Luke Skywalker ended up facing a number of these in his training.["
