Anyone else wonder if Hayden is still at the end of ROTJ? Of all the 2004 changes, that was the most criticized.
I think the art actually looks pretty nice. For the films, at least.
People on TFN are insisting that the guy's mockups aren't the Blu-Ray screencaps, it's the DVD screencaps used to compare the Blu-Ray ones with. Reading all the comments on HTF, it is rather vague.
Ugh... so much for getting our hopes up. The purple saber will remain, I guess.
Those lightsabers look... great. What the heck?!
The first one was very fitting. The Mustafar ones I didn't like as much. Especially the second one, WAY too happy.
It's like every deleted scene we've heard heard of and/or wanted. Yet a shame, for the prequels, we won't get the deleted scenes on the original DVDs in HD... an issue for those wanting HD extended editions with as much footage as possible.

haha interesting post! However, I suggest downloading some of the masterful restorations of the OOT made by some of the people here over showing your little one the Blu-Rays first. ;)
I like that theme. :D

You really have to be careful when adapting themes from one fictional universe into another.
James Horner's Aliens soundtrack was really cheapened because he obviously recycled his Klingons theme from Star Trek III and even lifted from queues from the Star Wars soundtrack.
Even to this day I keep thinking the Bird Of Prey is going to lift Ripley off that landing platform.
Your adaptation of music from Superman in my view is too recognisable to be used in a Star Wars film.
Taking the odd sweeps and crash etc are fine but bending whole themes cheapens some of the really good work you have done.
It's your edit naturally but if I'm constantly hearing Smallville, for me it's hard to concentrate on a galaxy far, far away.
Very wise words, but it's not like I have copy/paste 1 hour of Superman soundtrack.
I have made one mistake : copy/paste "Leaving home" orchestration and progression :

See, the "second part" of the theme is just fine. It's the first part that is a direct copy and paste (not just in terms of orchestration, but also the very notes themselves). Maybe then just come up with a different, non-Superman first part and then everyone lives happily ever after? haha

GOUT = George's Original Unaltered Trilogy, I believe so named because of the crappy quality version of the OOT (Original Original Trilogy) he stuck us with.
That makes sense. hahaha

At DoubleOfive... the GOUT, What is the original media that came from? DVD, VHS....etc?
I'm not DoubleOfive, but I think it's the 2006 "official" release of the OOT. Can't remember what the G stands for though, haha.
It is indeed hard to tell. But it's much clearer they screwed up on the 2004 edition and made it so Luke's actually IS closest to the Emperor (it looks like Luke's saber is actually going through Vader's):
This is from the Hyperspace Edit/Restoration:

THANK YOU.
It can be confirmed, but only for the 2004 version of the film when the lightsabers and other aspects of the trilogy were totally messed up. Any release of ROTJ on VHS does not have the problem you described.
For the first few seconds I thought it sounded too James Bond, but then once it calmed down, it started to sound like something right out of the OT, which is really, realllllllllllllllllllllllllly good. You've won me over again.
HOWEVER, could we please see this "in action"?? I really wanna see how this one fits, exactly.
Also, are you not using Across the Stars? Will Anakin and Padme have a love theme?

Have you tried coming up with a 100% original one?I will send you my paypal account first :)
...come again? All I'm saying is you have the software to create music, you have the mind to create themes.

Almost sounds like something from a sad song in a musical. I don't know what its context is in Superman, but for Star Wars, it just feels all kinds of wrong.
the thing that trouble you is not the theme itself, but the orchestration
Nope, still not feeling it. I just don't think it's a Star Wars-feeling theme at all.

I understand now... by "too romantic", you mean : "too lyric".
as I already said, it's not a bad idea, and I think I could do something, but I don't think I will keep Battle fo the heroes in my cut.
Call it whatever you want, it just feels un-Star Wars. I think the part of the theme that ruins it for me the most is this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13157221/just%20no.mp3
"ba ba ba-ba-ba baaaaa"... it just doesn't feel like Star Wars... at all. Almost sounds like something from a sad song in a musical. I don't know what its context is in Superman, but for Star Wars, it just feels all kinds of wrong.
Yours is still extremely apocalyptic, though. Mine is much calmer and, well, brotherly.
Here's a mockup I made of a "brotherly" variation of Battle of the Heroes:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13157221/Battle%20Good.mp3
And also the Force theme with a hint of Battle at the end for kicks:
Why should a friendship theme between two brothers and war heroes be remotely romantic? I still stress you at least try the Battle of the Heroes option, but it seems when you have an idea, you're stuck with it.
I did not have a problem with the birthing sequence. I was referring to Leia's theme earlier, with that scene on Alderaan. The version you made with the traditional theme was much better.

I'm not ok I just want some to stop making fun of my posts every time I post here. If you don't like my opinion's that's fine but don't make fun of my posts.
But he didn't make fun of you just now. Yeesh, no need to be so sensitive. Meanwhile, congrats on being seen as a near-god on theforce.net boards for posting a screenshot of your "email", while your inbox suspiciously only had 2 emails.
Could someone repost this screenshot? I haven't been able to find it.
Also, I hate to agree with 2/4, but I agree with 2/4...except for the "wall of logic, hidden sarcasm and witty repartée" nonsense.
