	I think the Emperors throne room on Disk 2 track 4 has the most dark and best Palpy theme in Star Wars at 02:20-03:00 -----signature----- ''May the Force be with you...Always''-Obi-Wan Kenobi ''I`m a Jedi like my Father before me''-Luke Skywalker ''You were my brother Anakin...I loved you!''-Obi-Wan Kenobi ''I HATE YOU!!!!!''-Darth Vader Harry Potter the boy who lived!

	Jedi is best. The theme works wonderfully in an understated way in Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones (especially the latter!). However, it's all over Sith in fairly uninteresting permutations. The best use of it, in apocalyptic battle fashion ("I Am the Senate"), was cut from the film.

	I quite like the bit at 5:40 into "The Battle of Endor II" where the theme is backed by swirling strings. Chill-inducing. -----signature----- "Okey dokey, Doctor Jones, hold on to your potatoes!"

	I love in TPM how the Emperor's theme comes in hauntingly as Darth Sidious' hologram first appears. -----signature----- "Baron Of Not Catching On" of the JCC Shiny Council http://www.getphpbb.com/phpbb/index.php?mforum=shinycouncil Sir Cellulitis of Lardipuss of the Knights of the Round Espy I believe in mermaids

	When Luke is getting fried it is the most intense because it builds up so much. Then it releases as Palpatine does and then starts back up. The part where Vader is looking from Luke to the Emperor sends chills up my spine. -----signature----- Member of the Han Solo and Chewbacca FanClub Member of the TFF Winner of the PT Rewrite Challenge Four "Don't make me destroy you"-Darth Vader, The Empire Strikes Back

	Darth_Maestro posted: halibut posted: Augie's Great Municipal Band I thought William's had denied doing it on purpose. Can't find a cite for that, but plenty of cites saying it is based on it. And even if JW has denied it, doesn't mean he's telling the truth -----signature----- They are not "songs", they are "tracks" or "cues" Don't you know about the bird?

	While I'd agree that Williams is genius enough to do something clever like that without even realizing, it has to have been intentional. It fits too well. -----signature----- "A true Knight, Qui-Gon is. Forever on his own quest." - Yoda, Cloak of Deception
