It's okay. 8pm, I'll remember that. I normally would have done it last night anyway.





The Battle Of Endor III
? One of my favourites.

The Hologram/Binary Sunset

Love Pledge And The Arena
? This music makes everything so believable. Beautiful.

The Dune Sea Of Tatooine/Jawa Sandcrawler

 

Round I

High Council Meeting
vs.
The Battle Of Endor III

HCM was nice and suspensful, but TBOE III was very grand, and I loved Tie Fighter Attack, and Imperial March on the xylophone.

The Hologram/Binary Sunset
vs.
Han Solo Returns

TH/BS is really moving, with heaps of variety.

I'll do the next two votes later.

 

I hope this gets posted. The boards are acting funny.


High Council Meeting
vs.
The Battle Of Endor III

Thoughts: Though I like the high council meeting, it is no much for the battle of endor iii. Even with the rehashed music.


The Hologram/Binary Sunset
vs.
Han Solo Returns

Thoughts: I wouldn't be surprised if Binary Sunset wins the tournament.


Queen Amidala Warns The Federation
vs.
Love Pledge And The Arena

Thoughts: Damn Ben Burtt. Just had to say that before voting for one of the best tracks of music in the saga.


The Dune Sea Of Tatooine/Jawa Sandcrawler
vs.
Shootout In The Cell Bay/Dianoga

Thoughts: I like the music that plays just before they dive into the garbage shoot. When I first got the SE soundtrack, I was confused by the music as I couldn't place it in the film. I then watched the film and realized it was barely audible over the blaster fire and dialogue. Great music though.

it should have a perfect scene to go along with, but alas

ANH Tatooine > ANH Death Star

 

Damn, forgot to bold the last pick.

Shootout In The Cell Bay/Dianoga

 

High Council Meeting
vs.
The Battle Of Endor III

Rehashing of "TIE fighters attack" isn't lazy, it's genius!!

The Hologram/Binary Sunset
vs.
Han Solo Returns

Awesome. But in response to HLS, it better not.

Queen Amidala Warns The Federation
vs.
Love Pledge And The Arena

Across the Stars in an action cue. Who would have thought.

The Dune Sea Of Tatooine/Jawa Sandcrawler
vs.
Shootout In The Cell Bay/Dianoga

The lovely Tatooine music gets my vote.

Round II

Main Title/Approaching The Death Star/Tatooine Rendezvous
vs.
Anakin Defeats Sebulba

MT/ATDS/TR just seems to be long periods of quiet punctuated by chuncks of the Imperial March... ADS is nice and suspensful with a nice tempo.

Anakin Is Free
vs.
Yoda And The Younglings

AIF is really great, with lots of Qui-gon's Theme and a nice woodwind section. YATY is nice too, but it seems to lack the purpose that AIF has.

The Imperial Probe/Aboard The Executor
vs.
The Racer Roars To Life/Anakin's Midi-Chlorian Count

There was nothing hugely memorable about TRRTL/AMCC, whereas TIP/ATE slowly built up to a nice climax of the Imperial March.

The Meadow Picnic
vs.
Anakin's Dark Deeds

Anakin + Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) = Anakin's Dark Deeds! In other word, a great cue.

 

Argh... Ignore __Vader__'s last post, that was me, forgetting to switch to this account...

Main Title/Approaching The Death Star/Tatooine Rendezvous
Wonderful opening before 45 minutes of boredom, so it stands out naturally.

Anakin Is Free
omg, I forgot what AIF actually contained besides Qui-Gon's theme! I'm so stupid! I decided to listen to both before deciding because I didn't know. But Ani saying goodbye to mom moved me to tears in the movie, did so later and is doing so right now! And that Force Theme. omg

The Imperial Probe/Aboard The Executor
Apples and oranges. An aggresive version of the IM (and some more) vs. a sweet hopeful moment. The Watto's Deal track two tracks earlier might have won my vote. Raceretc. doesn't.

Anakin's Dark Deeds
No contest.

 

Anakin Defeats Sebulba
? I agree with Forever_Padawan on this one, even though I love the opening of ROJ. I also like the race start music inside of it.

Abstain
? Because I can't find Anakin is Free and it sounds good.

The Imperial Probe/Aboard The Executor

Anakin's Dark Deeds
? One of the best tracks from ROTS. A high favourite.

 

Round II

Main Title/Approaching The Death Star/Tatooine Rendezvous
No contest here. This is my favorite film opening music for SW.

Anakin Is Free
This is just cruel. Both tracks are among my favorite SW tracks...

The Racer Roars To Life/Anakin's Midi-Chlorian Count
Shmi's theme takes it for me on this.

Anakin's Dark Deeds
Again no contest. This is one of the many standout tracks on ROTS.

 

As was said, ignore my last post. It wasn't me.

Main Title/Approaching The Death Star/Tatooine Rendezvous
vs.
Anakin Defeats Sebulba

The opening RotJ track is awesome. I love how the orchestra plays off between the Imperial March and the soft militaristic motif. And the Tatooine music, although not exactly grand, is very well written.

Anakin Is Free
vs.
Yoda And The Younglings

Probably the single most relaxing cue in the saga.

The Imperial Probe/Aboard The Executor
vs.
The Racer Roars To Life/Anakin's Midi-Chlorian Count

Ok, so this cue got replaced in-film, but it sounds great.

The Meadow Picnic
vs.
Anakin's Dark Deeds

Gotta' be the most emo track ever composed. AWESOME.

 

Main Title/Approaching The Death Star/Tatooine Rendezvous
vs.
Anakin Defeats Sebulba

This UE track is pretty much worthless, since it's mostly tracked "Escape from Naboo." Even the original "Anakin Defeats Sebulba," though excellent, doesn't quite measure up to "Main Title/Approaching the Death Star/Tatooine Rendezvous." It's intensely dark, nostalgic, and signature Star Wars.

Anakin Is Free
vs.
Yoda And The Younglings

This is one of the very best cues of the saga. "Yoda and the Younglings" is well, light and pensive.

The Imperial Probe/Aboard The Executor
vs.
The Racer Roars To Life/Anakin's Midi-Chlorian Count

The most explosive treatment of the Imperial March ever... the other is certainly good, though.

The Meadow Picnic
vs.
Anakin's Dark Deeds

Difficult. Both are very effective tracks... maybe I just wanted to rock the balance a little, since "Dark Deeds" is going to be the clear winner. "Meadow Picnic" implores the listener to actually buy into the love story (a daunting thing to do).

Anakin And Group To Crouscant
vs.
The Immolation Scene

The Immolation scene is great. Surprisingly, the word "Immolation" was not in my Oxford Dictionary. Not to worry, I have since found out its actual definition.

Qui-Gon, Darth Maul And The Invisible Wall/The Gungans Retreat And The Queen Surrenders/The Death Of Qui-Gon And The Surrender Of The Gungans
vs.
The Forest Battle

Both are superb pieces of battle music, and The Forest Battle is a tidy, frantic concert suite that sounds great. However, This last part of the Final TPM battle is terrific as well, especially The Death of Qui-Gon.

The Emperor Arrives/The Death Of Yoda/Obi-Wan's Revelation
vs.
Sebulba's Dirty Hand/Qui-Gon's Pep Talk

More explosive IM, but its the sensitive Dagobah music which makes me appreciate this track.

Across The Stars
vs.
Anakin's Home And The Introduction To Threepio

Still the third greatest love theme in the saga.
