	I think it's a great theme to end the Star Wars Saga on. It's much better than that Yub Yub song and has more emotional impact on its viewers...at least in my personal opinion. How do you feel about it? -----signature-----

	Definitely better than that 'Yub Yub' song...although 'Yub Yub' does have it's own charm. -----signature----- Korah Matah Korah Ratahmah "There's no problem that can't be solved by carpet-bombing it out of existence."-Loon "Wow!

	I like it. But come on, I grew UP on the Ewok theme. That will always have a special place in my heart. -----signature----- The surest sign that there is intelligent life on other planets is that no one has ever tried to get in touch with us.

	IMO, the new song carries the spirit of the movies. Friendship, sadness, love, and triumph- all into one song. :-D I love it. ~Sithman~ -----signature----- Sithy in the mornin', Sithy in the evenin', Sithy at suppertime; When Sithman's on the JC, you can be Sithy anytime!

	"Victory Celebration" from ROTJ:SE is indeed a great theme. Definitely more uplifting than the original Ewok theme. And while the old "Yub Yub" music is good for nostalgic reasons, the new music brings the saga to a close in a much more adequate manner, IMHO.

	True. But I still love the Yub Yub Song. ;-) The new song shocked the mess out of me in the theater. I had no clue until I walked into the theater. -----signature----- The surest sign that there is intelligent life on other planets is that no one has ever tried to get in touch with us.

	Ya, know I actually was totally shocked and suprised to hear the new song in the Theater back in March 1997. I always thought something seemed empty about the Yub Yub song. It just didn't move me for some reason. So hearing the new song, I was just so happy to hear a brilliant song like that. And I have to admit that I fought tears when I heard that, it so beautiful. That was the closest I have ever come to crying in a theater. When the entire 6 episode saga is realeased on DVD, and I watch them all in order for the first time on my 80 inch HDTV widescreen and my state-of-the art digital surround system (I am dead serious about that, I WILL have the ultimate home theater system for the DVD realease of the saga in 2006, its one of the things I have promised myself), I expect to just have goose bumps throughout every single moment of all 6 movies. BUt when that ending song comes on in ROTJ, I better get the kleenex box out. I know, I am corny. -----signature----- You failed your highness. I am a jedi. Like my clone before me.

	Just viewing them on my computer will do me. I as well grow up on Yub Yub but the new one was much more modern and uplifting. The Yub Yub seemed a bit dated. -----signature----- "Your views are as narrow as your tie." - Bernard Herrmann

	I enjoyed the Celebration theme as well, except for one tiny detail; there's a note, or a measure in there at the end, where it just doesn't dovetail into the end credits music, it's like the CT is just broken into by the SWT reprise. Aside from that, I'll jump on the bandwagon and say I prefer it to the Ewok music, which got on my nerves all the way back in '83, in my teens it became one of those things that makes a lot of SW fans reluctant to admit it in public. -----signature----- Dark Lord of the Dance

	Well, I've always known I've been in the minority with this, but I grew up with the Yub Yub song, and when the new song came with the SE, it was just another reason for me to be very disappointed with the SE. It's simply a matter of nostalgia -- it wasn't what I had grown up with. So I will always love the Ewok song better. And it does segue into the End credits more smoothly than the new one. At least the new music was written by John Williams, though. I can't imagine why they would use anyone else. -----signature----- See TPM from Another Point of View http://boards.theforce.net/message.asp?topic=1162409&page=1 Clone Wars - heh!

	It is better than that Yub yub crap. But its feels weak to end six movies on. I was hoping for something HUGE and brassy. The end theme is better than Yub Yub, but it seemes watered down far the end of a great saga. -----signature----- In George We Trust

	The new song is very nice. Cheerful, but sad, yet hopeful. The music along with the new footage makes the end of ROTJ more epic and vast than the original. It was a galactic victory rather than a just a local one. -----signature----- <--- leangreenfightinmachine

	MusicJedi, Bah, it's NOT supposed to be brassy. It symbolizes the hope, sadness, joy, and thankfulness for friendship. Dude, that's the point, I don't think it would mean as much if it was all brassy and militaristic like ANH. Anyone agree? ~Sithman~ -----signature----- Sithy in the mornin', Sithy in the evenin', Sithy at suppertime; When Sithman's on the JC, you can be Sithy anytime!

	Yeah, I agree. A brassy piece would be inappropriate, considering all that has happened in the galaxy. -----signature----- <--- leangreenfightinmachine

	But every great operatic epic ends with a huge chord supported by a pantload of brassplayers. Wagner's Der Ring Des Nieblungen Puccini's Turandot Verdi's Requiem Berlioz's Symphony Fantastique Although some of these aren't epic, I would much rather be left with a solid ending with the full orchestra hammering in the force theme, and then the traditional end cridits trumpet riff. -----signature----- In George We Trust
