Force Theme Archive [Just how many tracks is the Force theme in anyways?]

I've wondered this: The Force theme is in many many tracks in all of the movies, but I don't have the time to listen to them all and keep note of what tracks it is in. Has someone else already done this? Or does someone know what tracks of what soundtracks the Force Theme is in? Oh, and what's your favorite version and why?

 

They are not "tracks" or "cues", they are...oh wait. Forget that

 

OK, I will categorise them by how powerfully each is done.

MILD, SOLO-ISH VERSIONS
*'Watto's Deal and Kids At Play', Track 11 of TPM OST.
*'Lando's Palace', ESB SE (Yes, I realise that there is no reason for this theme at Lando's Palace, but Luke's departure from Dagobah follows on this track. So there you go).
*'The Rebel Fleet / End Title' ESB SE.

MARCH-LIKE VERSIONS
*'Love Pledge and The Arena, AOTC Track 12.
*'The Throne Room', ANH SE.

VERSIONS WHERE THEY ONLY PLAY THE FIRST TWO LINES
*'Anakin Is Free', TPM UE
*'The Tide Turns / The Death Of Darth Maul', TPM UE
*'Confrontation With Count Dooku & Finale', AOTC Track 13.
*'The Battle Of Endor III', ROTJ SE.

THE MAJOR, MAJOR ONES
*'Return To Tatooine', Track 10 of AOTC.
*'The Hologram / Binary Sunset', (THE BEST ONE OF ALL I MIGHT ADD), ANH SE.
*'Leia's News / Light Of The Force', ROTJ SE (this boasts the loudest of the lot, but it was unused in the film. I say they use it in Episode III).

There are far more than I have listed but I can't remember them. Anyway here's something for people to build upon.

My favourite occurance is in 'Light Of The Force' from ROTJ.

 

also in AOTC:

-track 4, Yoda and the Younglings (only a few notes)
-track 5, Departing Coruscant (few lines)

My favourite: Light of the force & Return to Tatooine

 

They are not "tracks" or "cues", they are...oh wait. Forget that

Actually, they are tracks, seeing as how I'm referring to what TRACKS on the CDs they are part of.

EDIT: If I recall correctly, there was a variation of the Force theme somewhere on the first disk of ROTJ SE, but I'm not sure where.

 

Lots.

 

"If I recall correctly, there was a variation of the Force theme somewhere on the first disk of ROTJ SE, but I'm not sure where."

Alliance Assembly, RotJ SE CD1
when Luke interrupts the briefing

 

TLJ, that theme at 1:32 of "Alliance Assembly" is Luke's Theme...

The Force Theme variations on ROTJ Disc One occur in:

"The Den Of The Rancor" at 5:18
"The Death Of Yoda/Obi-Wan's Revelation" at 2:52, 4:33, 6:15, 8:57 & 9:45
"Shuttle Tydirium Approaches Endor" at 2:03 & 2:41
"The Levitation/Threepio's Bedtime Story" at 0:19 & 1:56.



I am posting a poll of the favorite major use of the Force Theme.

Rise, my friend.

 

Night Skies, Shadows of the Empire

 

Yeah. This is from the film scores. Non-EU.

 

Since when? Movies are mentioned in the first post, but it doesn't ask to keep the list exclusive to movies.

 

Well, the original question in the first post of this thread says, "The Force theme is in many many tracks in all of the movies..."

Therefore, the list I made is based on the film scores.

 

Yeah. This is from the film scores. Non-EU.

Actually, since Shadows is a very good soundtrack in it's own right, and it DOES included the Force theme, I'm all for including it.

 

In that case, though, why aren't Star Wars videogames included? The Force theme is played five times in Knights of the Old Republic, for instance. I know it also shows up in Dark Forces, Rogue Squadron, and Rogue Leader.

 

Because I wasn't aware those games had soundtracks.

 

Well, they do.

Up until recently they were available at LucasArts Soundtracks: http://soundtracks.mixnmojo.com.

 

Speaking of the Force Theme in Knights of the Old Republic, forgive me if I'm dumb, but what specific track from which soundtrack contains the variation of the Force theme heard during the opening trailer of KOTOR for the XBox version. (I believe it plays around the time you see HK-47 standing on the Unknown World)


-Lem

P.S- The same variation is also heard during the Geonosis Spire level in Battlefront.

Well, that's near the end of "Love Pledge and The Arena" from Attack of the Clones, but there is original music in KotOR that incorporates the Force Theme, namely:

- Bastila's Theme (heard after the crash landing on Taris and during the confrontation with Bastila on the Unknown World)
- Escape from Taris (plays when the Ebon Hawk is seen flying away from the exploding planet surface)
- Arrival at Dantooine (plays every time you come to Dantooine)
- Escape from the Leviathan (plays at the very end of the cut-scene depicting the Ebon Hawk's narrow escape)
- Destruction of the Republic Fleet (plays when/if the Republic Fleet is destroyed during the Star Forge battle)

 

Riise.

 

Just to add to that KotOR bit, the Force Theme plays in "Arrival at Kashyyyk," "The Shadowlands," and the cutscene where the Republic breaks through the Sith defenses at the Star Forge.

 

I knew this was around somewhere. Thanks Scott!

 

Hey, you know, I was just thinking of starting another thread for this. I had completely forgotten I already started one, thanks for upping it.

We need to find out how many times the Force Theme appears in Revenge of the Sith.

 

It appears a lot in several tracks on the ROTS soundtrack, (i'll use track numbers rather than names). It is prominent in track 1 and track 15 in particular (VERY good versions in track 15). But it also shows up in track 3, 6, 9, 11, and possibly others, but most noticeably in those.
