I loved the variation of DoTF played durring the credits of TPM.
Its very, very tough, but I would have to choose DotF.Its a song that could be played virtually any time and in any situation, to a battle between 3 people, to a battle with a million soldiers. It represents a "scale" to any battle.

Actually, I made en edit where one track flows on to the other, and it actually fits.

DOTF is much more memorable.

Battle of the Heroes for me.

The beginning of it gives me chills.

Ok, I broke a 50/50... though it was like choosing between my children. tongue

I gave BotH the edge because of emotional impact, I can't listen to it without getting a little choked up. DotF gives me goosebumps every time, but it doesn't affect me the same way emotionally.

Battle of the Heroes for me.

DOTF is alot of fun, but BotH is just so raw. It's hate and grief and tragedy made into music.

Hell, we've been waiting for this duel since the bloody ROTJ novel came out and we learned Obi-Wan and Anakin had it out over a frickin volcano.

It's achieved such a mythic status that it has always been referred to as The Duel.

This Duel is the end of an age, it personifies the very end of civilization itself in tragedy and betrayal.

And the music that accompanies it is perfect.


That said, The Dark Side Beckons owns them both.

DotF I feel was the definining song to TPM
AtS for AotC
BotH was that for RotS

all three are very good and represent them well.

DotF is a has more applications for use in movies where as BotH just fells like it is the symboliation of Anakin vs Obi-won. DotF adds to a movie's drama were as BotH was well displayed the fall of the Anakin and the Jedi.

I voted for DotF

DotF is excellent, but so is BotH.

I have more of a connection, as a singer, to DotF.

Also, I, so far, have less connection to BotH.

BotH was far better used in RotS than DotF was in TPM.

Truthfully, out of the prequel themes, I prefer Across the Stars. The woman I am boyfriend to (calling her "Luke's girlfriend" will get you killed) wrote magnificent lyrics to it, which have been made all the more relevent by RotS. She wrote them a year or so ago, and they STILL give me the chills.

They were posted, but that topic- probably due to its antiquity- has been locked. If anyone's interested in reading them, though, feel free to PM us.

Battle of the Heroes for me! It holds a lot more emotional impact for me. sad

And what it all comes down to is that I haven't got it figured out just yet.
Would I rather be feared or loved? Um... Easy, both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me.

Sorry, I'm a sucker for BoTH. Even though I still think DoTF is a masterpiece.

I didn't like the ostinato in Duel of the Fates as much as I liked the background work in Battle of the Heroes. Besides, The strong choral presance there just seemed out of place after the OT had little use of one. THe way battle of the Heroes uses a choir I think is much more blended to the OT than Duel of the Fates. While I like both, I'd prefer Battle of the Heroes any day.
