Another repackaging of the music that's been out for a decade. Woo.

I feel like they're insulting my intelligence by releasing these things again in pretty, new packaging.

I'm actually glad they're not including any PT scores in this set (aside from six tracks in the Corellian thing). It gives me hope that they're planning on releasing the PT complete scores sometime soon.

Good grief, I would hope so.

Could Williams conduct with as much heart?


Probably not. Since the likelihood of this happening is about zero, I was mostly-tongue-in-cheek. But even in the remote chance it happened, if it wasn't as good as the originals, we'd still have the originals.


p.s. I do like the use of the OST cover art. But not enough to buy this set.

I don't have much doubt that the prequel scores will be released in a complete form eventually, but seriously, RotS is only 2 years old. Releases like TPM:UE and the LotR sets are the exception, not the rule. It took 10 years after RotJ to get expanded releases of the original trilogy, and another 4 after that to get them complete (and even then, that was a tie in with the theatrical re-releases). It took 14 years for E.T. to get a substantial expansion, and 21 for Close Encounters. Raiders took 13 years.

In lots of ways there's never been a better time to be a film music fan. Specialist labels are releasing fantastic stuff all the time, and this never used to happen. We all just need a bit more patience when it comes to the bigger Williams stuff. happy

Yeah I hope they realize that this will not sell very well. Not many people will buy it.


You're probably right, which, no offense, is a problem. Look at the latest re-re-re-re-who-knows-re-release of the OT. They didn't sell well, so Lucasfilm put off the boxed set in confusion. What will this put off?

..Put off the box set? The box set was never officially confirmed or for that matter, given a release date.

So, the 30th anniversary music release is this. Too bad about the lack of PT score expansion. But I can never have too many editions of the Star Wars score, for archival purposes, so I'll probably get it anyway.

You know, I may actually get this considering I like the artwork and my old RCA SE's are scratched and the jewel cases are all broken.

Don't CDs and DVDs just get scratches on them after heavy use? I swear I take extremely good care of my DVDs (my friends and family think to the point of obsession), but the ones I watch the most all have small scratches. Granted, they don't cause any playback problems, but it still annoys me to no end. I've never searched or asked anybody about this, but does anyone else experience this with their CDs/DVDs?

Well sure, I've had two CDs that I've had to replace due to scratches in the 19 years I've been buying CDs. In general I am careful with them. I never leave them out of their cases in stacks or sitting face up on a bookshelf or anything. I always grab them by the edges. And hell, now thanks to mp3s / iTunes / iPod / etc I never touch my actual CDs anymore. Music in my room is on my computer. Music in the living room is mostly my iPod in a dock for my receiver. Music in my bathroom is my iPod in a little stereo unit. Music while mobile is also iPod. Music in my car is almost always burned CDs.

These days I buy a new CD, put it into my G4 and import the tracks into iTunes. Then the CD goes on the shelf and I barely ever touch it again.
