J.J. Abrams Will Direct, Now Who Will Score?

 but I'd agree that they use chorus much more effectively that the prequel scores (where CHOIR simply denotes EPIC).

What about TOD?

The same language (Sanskrit) used for TOD's chants, was the same language used for DOTF (which in the original intended score, was used much less, and only in instrumental guises, except for a short bit in the very middle of the duel, and the end credits/concert suite)

And he also put enough effort to actually write lyrics with meaning instead of "Oooh" and "Aaah"

DOTF's lyrics were from Battle of the Trees ("Under the tounge root, a fight most dread, while another rages in the head")

BOTH's lyrics are translated to "Greivous are the crimes of the Empire"

I think SW 2 and would have been better (in terms of score) had Ben Burtt not forced his "musical sound effects" trash into the end battle.

I mean, On The Conveyor belt is a great cue, but with the addition of the ridiculous "Headless Threepio Subplot", was replaced with tracked music.

Then there is the very misplaced tracked statements of the Emperor's theme in the Anakin's Confession to Padme.

There is one request I have, and I hate to trouble you with it, but if you do another pass on this set would it be possible for you to extend your Blu-Ray rip of the space battle all the way through the destruction of the death star?  I have never found this track without the rejected and, in my opinion, emotionally wrong bit of music that play's just as the Falcon approaches the reactor room.  I would love to get this track with the film version.

That is music taken from ESB, "Losing A Hand/Hyperspace" I think

I wasn't aware until now that people had their own personal canon to be honest. In speaking to you about it, I've gone from being bemused to quite sanguine about the whole thing. I suppose it's like me not really digging the EU books as they don't feel like Star Wars to me while some love them and get upset when what they feel has been established in the EU is contradicted by The Clone Wars or revisions to the films.

I take what you mean about Superman (I've always liked the third one actually) but were those films the result of one person's vision, as with Star Wars? I've not seen the fourth Superman although I did see Superman Returns and unfortunately fell asleep halfway through. Man, those first two Superman films are classic fare, though.

Superan I: Donner
Superman II: Donner (Replaced)/Lester (replacement)
Superman III: Lester
Superman IV: Sydney J Furie (and Golan and Globus/Cannon instead of Salkind)
