Nah, I think there was some kind of high-pitched G-string... err... strings playing a high G or something?
I remember it because when the lightsabers light up, they start buzzing at the same note... although it'd be funny if I remembered it wrong :D


But yea, the lack of loud music is better for the suspense, as well :)

Actually, those were synthetic strings, added by the editors/sound designers, much like the choir in AOTC's "Knowledge of the Force"/"Yoda vs. Dooku"/'Yoda Strikes Back"

I don't know, Kinda shrinks the universe.

And here is a short alternate for Anakin's Test: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAPuVmpTJS8

On the second link, I guess I still prefer Jar Jar's introduction to be less epic, but it's quite okay :)

Might be an editing issue, but at the beginning of the invasion sequence, I quite like how, in the movie, the ships fly by the camera with nothing but percussion (the combination with the engine glissando doe sit) accompanying the scene, the orchestra joining only after the shot.

Aside from those, can't pinpoint any differences to the original atm... :)

the music when the queen appears on the viewing screen is extended a bit.

The "Gas Leak" scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=590dquz3kPQ&feature=player_embedded

Blimey, I still find the final version better :D

This one seems to have some editing / timing issues towards the middle, but I'm mainly referring to the first 10 seconds or so :)

the those first 10 seconds in that video are silent in the film ;)

and here is the queen amidala scene (there are only some minor differences) and the droid invasion scene which was dialed out in the film, and had a portion missing on the OST: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H284Q7N8ZY

If 1941, Towering Inferno, Superman, Home Alone, Black Sunday, and Poseidon Adventure can get a complete release, I am sure Star Wars can.

Who says they will not? the guy who did compiled the RCA victor Star Wars releases said there is a new John Williams re-release in the works, plus Doug Adams (who wrote the 'Music of the Lord of the Rings Films" book and released the LOTR "Rarities Archive") also hinted at a SW project.

Phech, Star Wars "saved" Star Trek.

Btw, a little off-topic, but if you want to a REAL "hacking up" of a music piece in a movie, look no further than the X2 opening.

Now compare to Mozart's original:

0:48-1:00
0:15


They cut out parts and it sounds horrible :D

I don't think thats hacking it up, I think thats a composer's arrangment of the piece for his score, or, he was subliminally inspired by the piece and forgot that it had already been written.

twooffour said:

Ah, many thanks for that!
(Always wanted to transcribe the Hangar music, so this may come in handy, as well :D)

Although I have to say, I kinda prefer the film version.
The music only setting in when the army is activated fits better than the same music setting in when they're basically standing around thinking what to do next.

Also prefer the "epic reveal" of Darth Maul, and the space battle opening has a more effective call-and-response when switching to the enemy ships.

This one would've worked, too, though, in a different way, and I like alternate takes and experimentation, so cool :D

2 things to consider:

1: this video is a bit outdated, more info has turned up, and more sections/cues have also turned up.

2: there is still some stuff missing, so this may not entirely reflect how the cut may have originally worked.

twooffour said:

The Geonosis arrival scene was taken from the TPM opening, the Jedi battle from the Podrace (which didn't make it into the film), Yoda's arrival from the existing Podrace score (not sure if entirely, but the first few minutes for sure), and the AniPad love theme may have been used elsewhere, too.

The droid factory had its own track, though ;)

Here is a version of the Naboo sequence with the original music for you and all germans ;) http://www.multiupload.com/B7KRYILIF6

Just to let you know, If Spielberg had not suggested a re-edit, there would be no need to replace the music sooooo....

Darth Lars said:

One thing I don't like is that Han is....not as cool and in control as in the film....the line "Charges, come on, come on" could be changed into just "Charges".

That line was in the original film.... or am I missing the point here?

Not so sure. The OOT is his only "special feature" left. The current Blu-ray set has a treasure chest of deleted scenes (albeit looking like dogshit). Whatever he releases next on whatever format, it needs to have an extra incentive to buy it. The OOT is that incentive.

Actually, there is another special cra... ahem, feature... left. The dreaded Holiday Special. Hell, he might even special edit it!

and From Star Wars to Jedi, and Isolated Score tracks.

Should we start figuring out a way to tunnel under Skywalker Ranch and steal the original negatives?

 

The ranch does have a formidably defense mechanism. There's an energy field projected by all living things.

fixed.

If the BR was never released...how could anyone preserve it?

REreleased.

Having Vader talking to Luke before the lightsaber construction scene on Dagobah, would show alot about how Luke has grown, that he is able to concentrate and succesfully build his lightsaber focusing on Vader, and all of his troubles.

bkev said:

Was that another improvisation? Would explain why it's gone, that's for sure. I'd bet if he had the time and method he'd switch "I know" to "I love you, too."

But you know that he would leave in the same exchange in ROTJ just to make it even more terrible.

Baronlando said:

That slight re-editing at the end duel is odd.

Explain?

ben_danger said:

okay, here is a ROUGH (and i mean rough) idea for an alternative dagobah opening/early scene. i was thinking perhaps placed after vader first visits the death star. this would also precede yoda dying, although the possibility of of breaking the two scenes up with some of the jabbas palace story would work.

this would follow the assumption that luke has been training since ESB, and that building his lightsaber is the final stage of his training. throughout the scene yoda would be weezing and showing signs of extreme old age. also some recoulourng/tweeking would be needed to alter lukes appearance so its less obvious where it is sourced from.

i had the idea after finishing though, that enstead of yoda giving luke the crystal, perhaps we could also see yoda's lightsaber de-constructed (assuming he had one and never lost it) so there would be an element of master-apprentice handing down.

i think the lighting could be better tweakied, so it is in almost complete darkness, so when the lighsaber is lit, the scene is flooded with green light. POW.

excuse the music, i think something more sombre would work much better in hindsight....

Wow! if this would have been done by LFL originally.....ROTJ could have had the (one of?)? most Iconic scene in the Trilogy!

and as for the music, you could use "The Levitation/Threepio's Bedtime Story" for this "scene"
