	General Kenobi posted: This is a list of tracks, not themes. The Force Theme does not exist as a self-titled track. Tracks like "Throne Room", "Binary Sunset", and "Light Of The Force" use the Force Theme as their main theme. I'm sorry. I feel really stupid right now lol Could someone could explain me how I downloaded a track named the_force_theme.mp3 Someone renamed it!?!?

	I'm not sure. It might just be Binary Sunset. Can you describe what it sounds like? -----signature----- "May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't!"-Gen. George S. Patton http://getphpbb.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=shinycouncil

	It starts really soft and slow. Total time is 3:20 At about 1:06 it sounds like the song at the very end of ESB, but cut. at about 2:12 it does sound like the scene in ANH (binary sunset) At 2:30 the music is just like in ROTJ when Luke burns Vader suit on Endor. ??

	I didn't think it would be as hard as it was to narrow down just my top ten favorite tracks from the six films cd releases. So many to choose from. 188 tracks total from ANH SE, TESB SE, ROTJ SE, TPM OST, TPM UE, AOTC OST, and ROTS OST. It would have been more if all the ROTJ music (like the Sail Barge music, the original Sy Snootles song, or the original Ewok ending music), AOTC music (like Dex's Diner Music), and ROTS music (like Anakin and Padme's Reunion) had been released. Actually I guess some of that ROTJ music was released long ago. I also guess I shouldn't count Alfred Newmans fox fanfare though which actually brings it down to 184. First I had to break down each cd from best to worst track which was a rough job in itself. What I had to keep in mind was the overall enjoyment of the entire track. Meaning if the track only had one great moment while others had multiple, the latter would win. Which made for some sad cuts. The TPM OST and Ultimate Edition gave me a rough time since I was used to the Ultimate Edition by now and so the combination of tracks on the OST made me cringe sometimes. But in the end, not much from TPM made it anyways. Well here's my list including the 10 that nearly made it to the top ten... And the ones that almost made the almost list... okay I'll stop there...but there's just too much... 30. Victory Celebration / End Title 29. Imperial Attack 28. Yoda's Theme 27. Ben Kenobi's Death / Tie Fighter Attack 26. Princess Leia's Theme 25. The Droid Invasion and the Appearance of Darth Maul 24. The Immolation Scene 23. Luke and Leia 22. Leia's News / Light of the Force 21. Padme's Ruminations 20. The Battle of Yavin 19. The Battle of Hoth 18. The Battle of Endor II 17. Anakin's Betrayel 16. Love Theme From Attack of the Clones 15. Battle of the Heroes 14. The Asteroid Field 13. Rescue From Cloud City / Hyperspace 12. The Hologram / Binary Sunset 11. Love Pledge and the Arena 10. Confrontation With Count Dooku and the Finale 09. Cantina Band #1 08. Anakin's Dark Deeds 07. The Forest Battle Concert Suite 06. Duel of the Fates 05. A New Hope and End Credits 04. Carbon Freeze / Darth Vader's Trap / Departure of Boba Fett 03. The Imperial March 02. The Rebel Fleet / End Title 01. The Clash of Lightsabers -----signature----- I am from the corrupt land of Illinois

	You "top 20" people are such cheaters. Make the painful decisions, yo. You can change your mind later. :P I cut out any End Title tracks 'cause it felt a little cheap to just include multi-theme concert tracks as opposed to ones scored to actual film. 10. Imperial Starfleet Deployed/City in the Clouds: The sweet, sweeping love theme is gorgeous. The morose tone as Yoda advises his student about recklessly acting on the future is hauntingly beautiful, but not as much as the choir that accompanies the first view of the greatest locale in the whole SW saga, Cloud City. 9. Carbon Freeze/Darth Vader's Trap/Departure of Boba Fett: Nothing really noteworthy here. Just my favorite set of cues in the saga. 8. The Battle Of Hoth: As good as Battle of Yavin was as a set of action cues, Williams actually topped himself. "Imperial Walkers" is one AWESOME piece of work, and even though it's the highlight of the track, Williams keeps us completely engaged through the rest of the running time. 7. The Battle of Yavin: So why is this higher on the list than the technically superior "Hoth?" reasons. A) it was so good JW had to reuse it for ROTJ. B) two words: Force theme. "Use the Force, Luke" would be nothing without that scoring behind it. C) Listen to the sequence leading up to Biggs' demise. I mean, good grief. That's a story's rising action done in music. Brilliance. 6. Clash of the Lightsabers: This wasn't on the list at first, but really, this deserved the spot even over the oh-so-fun concert version of "Imperial March." 5. Anakin's Dark Deeds: Here's where Williams shows other composers how choral motifs are done. 4. Across the Stars: Romantic yet terribly melancholy, this is the perfect love theme for this ill-fated couple. Too bad the onscreen version didn't live up to Williams' audio billing. 3. Duel of the Fates: Best choral piece ever composed for film. 2. Rescue from Cloud City/Hyperspace: From Vader's revelation to Luke's rescue, this cue is just operatic in its storytelling ability. Then, in the midst of that exciting chase rhythm, we get the most triumphantly sinister version of the Vader Theme in the whole saga. 1. The Asteroid Field: Note for note, there's no better composed piece in the whole saga. It works equally well as on-screen scoring and as a standalone concert piece. It's also the most FUN piece of all six films. It's probably no secret which film's score I like best. -----signature----- I am the Anti-Darth. GET YOUR SITHY HANDS OFF ME.
