I have the RotJ Special Edition, 2 disc set, & I can't seem to find the track that plays during Luke & Vader's lightsaber fight. Its a chorus singing, building as their fight intensifies. Can anyone tell me where it is? Somehow I must just be missing it. Thanks in advance for any help.

"The Battle of Endor II", about five minutes in.

As a side note, I never really understood the high praise this piece always gets. It's good, but far from the best music in the saga.

It's the part of "Battle Of Endor II" called "The Dark Side Beckons".

Whether or not it is musically superior to score from other parts of the saga, it remains a sentimental favorite since it represents the climax of the original trilogy.

I think people like it so much b/c of how appropriate it is. You would think as Luke beats back the evil Lord Vader we'd be hearing triumphant music. Instead we get Luke's funeral march as he give into the Dark Side. Whether Lucas had to request this or Williams picked up on it on his own, either way its brilliant.

It isn't exactly a funeral march. This music transcends the boundaries of good and evil.
