I actually like the end credits best, when all is said and done. I really love Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, I really love Anakin's Dark Deeds, I really love The Birth of the Twins and Padme's Destiny, and a lot of the other music I have really loved since being able to put it into context of the movie (like Anakin's Betrayal and the Immolation Scene). But ultimately, I have listened to the last track on the soundtrack, with its rendition of Leia's Theme, melodic rendition of Luke's Theme, use of Binary Sunset, and then the end credits themselves, complete with the unused Throne Room music, which I think was an appropriate way to tie it all together. Sure, I would have liked some Imperial March or some other stuff, but I sill listen to this track more than any other.

Padme's Rumination, duh! So melancholy and wonderful. It reminded me of the Amistad soundtrack, also by John Williams.

Anakin's Dark Deeds absolutely floored me when I first heard it, there's no question that it's my favorite.

Hmm, after thinking some more, I might lean towards "Anakin's Betrayal".

This scores the Order 66 sequence with a "Dark Side Beckons" quality.


So am I. Knowing at that moment at the beginning when all the Jedi are being killed makes it very emotional. I like the comeback of the little passage that was used during the Naboo sunrise after anikin;s nightmare.

After watching ROTS I absolutely fell in love with the music during the platform confrontation at the end. It was very powerful and made the scene VERY emotional. My vote - Anakins Betrayal.

I love the statement of the "Imperial March" in "Anakin vs. Obi-Wan," turning that militaristic march into perfect showdown music. And it features "BOTH," of course.

why is the music from the opening sequence not on the soundtrack?

Most of it is. Except for the war drums (in the film, not on the CD), the track "Revenge of the Sith" is the scoring cue for the opening scene. I think.

I loved A new hope/end credits. It felt like OT music as if you were watching the opening scene of ANH not the closing scene of ROTS.

I have many favorites

BOTH, Anakin's Betrayal, Padme's Ruminations, Anakin vs. Obi-Wan, Anakin's Dark Deeds, The Immolation Scene. But I had to choose BOTH.

:First Post:

My fav. songs off of the ROTS soundtrack are Anakin's Dream, Anakin's Bretrayal, and The Birth of the Twins and Padme's Destiny.

I loved this music when I saw the movie and had not heard it before my initial screening. It was so moving! This soundtrack gave me a much stronger connection to the story than episode II's. (That should not be taken as an insult to E. II's soundtrack, I have grown to love it.)

By far, my fav. piece on the entire soundtrack is when Williams brings back the choir part from Qui-Gon's Funeral and uses it for Padme's Destiny. So effective!

1 Vote? Aw, man. Now it's two. I voted for Revenge of the Sith. For some reason, I totally love it. It's my favorite track.


Honorable Mention: Enter Lord Vader

Am I the only person who just absolutely does not like Padme's Ruminations? I'm sorry, but I bought the soundtrack to listen to music, not ambient noise. If I want to listen to some ambient noise, I'll listen to Palpatine's Teachins, at least it has some actual melodic material in the latter half of the track. I'm sorry, but I just didn't like Padme's Ruminations. I would rather have had other cues from the movie, like maybe an extended version of Anakin vs. Obi-Wan with the transition into Duel of the Fates from the Yoda/Palpatine battle.

Anakin's Dream isn't on there?!?!? NOOO!!!!!!!!! cry

It was a very moving track. The viola solo in the beginning was very touching, then comes a violin solo shortly after, which is equally touching. Then, after the chilling "nightmare" sequence, the strings play a passage that is so emotional, I get chills every time I listen to it. Then the cellos and basses after that playing a very ominous and somewhat scary low phrase, is excellent! This track was awesome!

However, since it wasn't listed, I voted for Anakin's Betrayal.
