- Question about Outtake/Unused Star Wars Music...

I have the 1993 Star Wars Original Soundtrack Anthology Box Set so I popped in the "Outtakes/Previously Unreleased" disc and found that the song in question is called "Drawing The Battle Lines/Leia's Instructions". Anyways my question is, has Lucas bothered to re-release this material to the public? Is the 1993 Anthology Set the only way to get ahold of some of these extra tracks? Has some of it worked it's way into "newer" editions of the Original Trilogy soundtracks? Just curious to see if anyone knows. Thanks again! Alot of these "extra" songs have been used in other Star Wars games over time.

I actually decided to check TF.N out. I figured I'd get in contact with more like-minded people and just discuss what I enjoyed about Star Wars. Unfortunately for some reason, I find I actually get responded too more on these boards and on IMDb than on there. Maybe it's because I'm new or my post doesn't contribute enough to elicit a response but I've found that sites that actually favour the OOT or a preference towards it actually respond more than the few "Saga" sites I've been to. Oh well....what are you gonna do I guess.

Good point! Forgot about that line. However I still think those kids had something to do with it....they knew what they were up to.

I'd been hearing rumblings about MST3K type of commentary track for one of the Star Wars films. It is definately a great idea, too bad they could never get George to go along with something like that.
It's actually unfortunate that the guys from MST3K could never do more modern films.

Sounds kinda like the ones used at the Star Trek Expierence Borg 3-D ride. Those weren't too heavy but if I recall right they weren't all that comfortable either.

Exactly......people question him and he does it anyways. He added Jar Jar in for the kids? I didn't know he wanted us to hate our kids so badly....I mean if you say Jar Jar was in there for humourous aspects, George really screwed it up. C-3P0 was pretty humourous without becoming a flaming retard, so is that saying that the only humour kids will understand is if things are really really really dumbed down? What target audience was he shooting for, 2 year olds who wouldn't understand Star Wars anyways?
From someone who likes the Prequels like myself, there's definately a good reason why not even most Prequel fans like TPM on the whole.

Midiclorians was one of those things I never really bothered about and never knew it was such a problem till I heard people complaining about it on the net, however even if not completely accurate wouldn't that be a better way to get an approximation of ones abilities with the Force? I mean "feeling" one is powerful is one thing, but it still doesn't let you KNOW how powerful they are. That to me doesn't really take away from the mystism of the Jedi Knights.

But Jedi expand their horizons all the time. Just because a Midiclorian count says a Jedi has x amount of pull with the Force doesn't mean that that will stay that way forever or they will only get to a certain point of being able to manipulate the force. I like to believe that Jedi are only limited by how much they are willing to learn. Surely the nature of learning techniques and mastery of the force is not limited to your Midiclorian count, it's just a counter to even determine if a certain person even has the ability with the Force. If the force didn't have any ties to nature and was just a mystical energy force that just happened to appear out of nowhere, woudn't it effect everything? Wouldn't everyone be Force Sensitive?
The fact that nature surrounds it, penetrates it, makes life grow should indicate that SOMETHING has to manipulate the force and connect those who can hear the will of the force with the world around him. You could almost say that in a way the Midiclorians are like a disease and will only effect those who have certain parentage but like Anakin there is always that anomoly. Like the world the way some people are just born different. I mean how do we determine where disease come from? People study it right? I mean where does disease come from in our real world? Someone had to discover this intangible nothingness down to a science or atleast something that you can see within the blood stream or life being of that person. The Midiclorian count is taking something that is attached to a mystified ancient order and understanding how "the universe binds it together". Like most mysteries we are given the how, but never the why.
Now the Midiclorian use in the first film was only to help demonstrate how powerful with the Force Anakin really could become, nothing more really. It helps determine that he IS the Chosen One. You must see it (sorry had to throw that in there). I know the Chosen One Prophecy is pretty much looked down upon by those who don't really like the Prequels or even buy that part of the story but again that's really the only reason the Midiclorian count was used in the film. Obviously we disagree which is fine, but I'd like to hear your thoughs....and please be constructive.....I'm not going to be like a "typical gusher" and say you are wrong or anything you have to say doesn't have merit. Believe me with just the one line I atleast had to think about my response and how it made sense to myself. Take it easy.

Everyday? I guess I can understand why she doesn't like Star Wars anymore....I went on a Star Wars binge for a while there but even I couldn't stand watching Star Wars everyday for any great length of time. Do you mean you just watch the Saga then give it a rest? Cause that could take some time to finish but if this is something you are doing like everyday for like months upon months on end...I can see why she'd be sick of them.

- Had to reinforce the relationship (thus far) of Ben Kenobi and Darth Vader....and that Vader had killed Luke's father. She understood that Vader was evil and that someone had to fight him but just need to get the "why" of it all. She enjoyed the duel and liked the lightsabers (ohhh flashy) and I told her they get abit faster with each movie to follow.
- Really liked the finale of the film with the fighters running the trench, she was kind of confused by "Ben's Voice" but I told her I would tell her more when we watched the next film. I believe she understand that he's dead but can obviously still continue communicating with the "living".
- She also commented on how her favourite character is Han Solo....I mean Ford was quite the stud but....anyways she liked that Han came back and helped Luke out in the end. She also liked Chewie and thought he had some funny bits.
- Didn't seem all that impressed with the opening sequences with C-3P0 and R2-D2 or appreciate any comedy they lent to the film. Oh well....I guess they aren't that rip roaringly hilarious really.
- Like the "Ghostly Voice" failed to understand why Ben would commit suicide. I explained it was more of a deversionary tactic....if she agrees remains to be seen.
Besides that and the few distractions she just seemed to take everything in. I don't know how many of you would consider Star Wars one of those "have to watch several times to take it all in expierences" but I think this may be the case for her. Who knows, I guess I can help her along when it comes to the next movie.

Believe me, it's not like I'm gonna make her watch all six films back to back and give her the cold shoulder the entire time....we've already spaced it out between OUR time and "Star Wars Time" with which our time far outweights the one time we've watched Star Wars. If there's any indication of her feelings by what I've said, I doubt I'll lose this one because I told her to "watch the film". Star Wars is just another fun thing I want to share with her....turns out she was just really horny that night. I know sounds ultra-geeky to turn away the woman...but she's hardly neglected I can assure you

The reason I am defending him here is because basically nobody else will. I mean it does send off some red flags with the amount of people that are pissed off at him that could mean that he comes off a little arrogant, but surely defending or even offering alternative responses to a thread topic should not result in such chastisation should it? I know I'm not a regular here, I've been coming for the last little while to read up on discussions and I've noticed one thing that has happened, that has changed since I came. When I came here I told them which Star Wars I preferred and I was still welcomed regardless. Now I see personal attacks thrown Go-Mer's way when he hasn't really warranted such behaviour. On the flipside though maybe I haven't seen you in full anti-OOT swing and maybe you should cool it Go-Mer. I don't know for sure. I understand that we're all pretty passionate and we all just rub each other the wrong way sometimes. No need to bring it down a level to petty attacks though.

As far as the music goes. I personally like both the new and the old music, I don't know what it is about that NEW music but it's just fun to listen to. However Yub Nub in certain circles has become such an iconic song with Star Wars. I love listening to my 1993 Soundtrack Anthology set which has Yub Nub on there. Great stuff.
I'll never buy the NEWER versions of the Star Wars soundtracks as I personally can't tell all that many differences and the songs that are changed I don't really care about anyways besides the ending song, that being said...I'm gonna put on my next CD is the NEW End Celebration song and possibly even put Yub Nub infront of it as a comparison track to have them both play after one another.
