Hi pianistec, I'm using your the clones theme remix and your battle of the heroes remix in an edit of episode 3 with the final 4 episodes of season 7 of TCW included. Though it's for home use currently, if it's ok with you I would like to upload a download link on my channel so everyone can watch it. I will of course credit you for your music been used. I await your response and may the force be with you, always.
Gods this is so bloody beautiful it brought tears to me eyes. I've never understood why people liked pairing Duel of the Fates with Obi-Wan and Anakin, that song made more sense for Yoda and Sidious. Battle of the Heroes, now that is a song that is and will always be Anakin and Obi-Wan's. Just those 9 beats whether it is instrumental or choir you feel the absolute desperation of the song. Thank you for making those beats the priority of this remix version
Very rarely do I comment, but this needed to be said. Battle of the Heros is my favorite Star Wars theme/moment, and I hold remixes to a high standards. Well, let me tell you something this version surpasses my expectations. It's is both beautiful and Tragic. You captured the emotions perfectly. I have both tears and chills. Thank you so much for this beautiful masterpiece. Keep up the great work!
Thank u so much for your feedback, I'm rlly happy u commented! 💙 I'm so glad to know you being part of my community - if you have any suggestions or maybe cover song requests - let me know 😊
@@Pianistec your welcome😊. Usually I like to be surprised. But since you asked. I’m always up for epic Star Wars remixes:) John Williams one the best out there! So are Hans Zimmer, Jerry Goldsmith, Alan Menken and Stephan Schwartz, James Norton Howard, I could go on! but as far as specific music pieces. Blue Monday - I know it’s cliché but I think you can cook up something extraordinary! And my favorite Disney song of all time. Hellfire - from the Hunchback of Notre Dame. You can never go wrong covering that masterful piece. I’ll leave it to YOU to decide how they want to remix these songs. I’m just humble listener who likes to be surprised. Thank you for hearing me out, and no pressure on the suggestions. You, do you! 💜
I often write suggestions like yours into a list for my uncreative days but it really depends on my motivation to produce these soundtracks - it's talking me days of work But again - thank you, I'm rlly glad you found my channel 😊💙 And maybe you like harry Potter, too, cuz i just uploaded a new epic Version 😊
Thanks my friend, I'm so happy to hear that from u! 💙 Got some other Star Wars covers, too, maybe u'll also like them☺️ Still trying to work on my progress but nowdays it's reaaaally hard to get heard 🙄
Sideous: “Lord Vader…I wonder…who do you hate most…?” Vader: “Myself” Sideous: “Why?” Vader: “….I killed everything I ever loved, when I only wanted to save her”
Tausend Dank dafür! Ich kann nicht beschreiben, wie geil ich das finde. Ich saß einfach nur mit offenem Mund und der übelsten Gänsehaut vor dem Bildschirm. Mach weiter so, deine Arbeit ist einfach nur großartig.
@@Pianistec da habe ich immer ein paar Ideen: Order 66/Jedi Temple March, Vode an (aus Republic Commando) und die Trailer Musik aus dem 1. Trailer zu the Bad Batch. Sind nur ein paar Ideen und am Ende bleibt es dir überlassen was du machst, aber ich bin schon gespannt auf den nächsten Remix. Möge die Macht mit dir sein.
That would be interesting to hear, I'm thinking of pieces containing less variations but still are a bit more epic than John Williams ones. But we'll never know for sure .. 😅
I like it, it’s very epic and this is my favourite film. But in my opinion, you don’t got the Hush, the Speed of the fight, you know? I often thought, cmon! And it sound epic, heroic, but not fast enough. Love from Germany 💪🏻
Thanks man, I'm really happy u liked it! 💙 Sometimes I'm rlly motivated for some viewer's request but Im never able to promise, but I'll add it to the list!☺️
@@shaz0524 thanks man, I rlly love to hear that! 💙💙 And if you're interested, I got some other Star Wars Covers on my channel, maybe you'll like them too ☺️
"The Emperor cannot protect you now," Vader said. What next? What could Ferus do to get him off balance? He suddenly had a flash of intuition. He remembered what Keets had told him. "What about Senator Amidala?" he asked, leaping away from Vader. He faced him, his lightsaber held in an offensive position. "What about Padme? What happened on Mustafar?" He felt the quake in Vader. He had reached him at last. "Do not mention her name!" "I thought it was a lie, that the Jedi killed her," Ferus suddenly understood, the Sith Holocron burning under his tunic. "ft wasn't. You killed her, didn't you? You killed the woman you loved." Vader's wrath filled the room. Ferus could feel it. Instead of turning away from it, he took it. He filled himself with it. This is what the Emperor meant. This is the last step. He flew across the room and this time he landed a blow. Vader roared. It was a howl of fury, inarticulate, undisciplined. Totally unlike his usual icy control. The control box on his chest started to smoke. Stones in the floor ripped out and were flung toward Ferus. He dodged them, rolling and twisting away. A blackened piece of furniture flew across the chamber and smashed into the wall over his head. Anything that could be torn from the floor or walls came at him - conduits, debris, hunks of stone. He dodged and weaved, attacking and retreating as Vader hit him with everything he had. "How did you kill her, Anakin? Did you lose control? Did you see her die, Anakin? Is that why you wanted Zan Arbor to perfect that drug? Was it for you, Anakin? So you could forget her? So you could forget your wife?" Another roar from Vader. part of the ceiling gave way. Durasteel melted, smoke rose from the debris. Ferus leaped over a gaping hole in the floor and attacked Vader again, but his lightsaber cut through empty air. The anger inside Ferus was now like liquid fuel inside him. He was feeding off Vader's rage, he was pushing every molecule of his body and feeling every molecule of the room respond to him. Everything was clear, hard-edged. His body obeyed him without any hesitation, and his mind was focused. He had no doubt that he could defeat Vader. No doubt. And that was what the dark side brought him. When he won, when he defeated him, he could take the victory to the Emperor, and he could be greater than Darth Vader, more powerful than even the Chosen One had been. He charged at Vader and made contact. Vader waited a beat too long to deflect him. The blow shuddered off his body arrnor. Something inside fused and the plastoid melted. Ferus could smell buming circuits. At the same time, he detected a tremor in Vader's arm. Suddenly he was picked up and slammed against the wall. He fought to hold onto his consciousness. "Don't . . . get . . . cocky," Vader said. Ferus rolled away from the blow that followed, barely escaping. He looked up. For a moment Vader was just a shape at the side of the room. For a moment, a trick of the eye or the light, he saw the room as it had been. The seats were restored, the air traffic outside flashing, the potent energy of the Force filling the room because the Jedi Masters were still alive. Ferus felt it invade him, the sense of peace and light. No, push it away! Listen to us! You could have been a great Jedi Knight, and they let you go! They never appreciated you! It was true, wasn't it? Ferus saw himself as a Padawan, standing before the Masters. Taking responsibility for something that wasn't his fault. Tru's lightsaber. He had fixed it secretly. . . . He remembered that day. He remembered the compassion in that room. Another vision came to him, of himself as a Padawan, accepting responsibility for what he had done. The Jedi Masters sorrowful, showing him the two paths he could take. He could have stayed. He chose to go. His choice. The room returned to its ruined state. He was crouching, breathing hard. Connect. The Force was still here in the ancient stones. The stories of all the Jedi who had lived and died here, they were here, too. His story was here. Not as distinguished as most, shorter than many, but his. He had followed the path for as long as he could, as well as he could, and the Masters had never asked for more than that. He felt the wisdom of the Masters inside him, and he gripped that feeling with his hands and let it fill his heart. He rose. He had no doubt that they had reached out and touched him. Many hands on his shoulder, showing him. Here is one way. Here is another. Choose. He had come so close. He walked out of the dark side and into the light. I am a Jedi. Now he knew with absolute certainty that he had to be rid of the Sith Holocron. It had been slowly poisoning him. He had been a fool to think he could take what he wanted and not be corrupted. He had fallen into the Emperor's trap. Almost. He Force-leaped over Vader, surprising him, and let himself fall into the hole in the floor. He heard Vader's chuckle. "Run like the coward you are!" The wind whistled past his ears as he fell. He landed safely in the Map Room. He headed for the stairs. He took each turning at top speed, Force-leaping most of the way. He knew where to go. The heart of the building, the power core. No longer operational, it would still contain enough residual energy, if not to destroy the Sith Holocron, then to damage it. He ran through the hallways and found the central conduit that ran, he knew, straight down to the power core. He reached into his tunic. You are throwing away your only chance at success. This is not the kind of success I want. The voices of darkness were a clamor inside him as he held the Sith Holocron. He threw it in. He felt something rip inside him. It was an agonizing pain that sent him down on his knees. He breathed through it, calling on the Force to help him. He felt it lift. He was exhausted, but he was free. He was himself again. Vader came out of nowhere, raising a gloved hand. Ferus felt himself lifted up, over Vader's head. He couldn't breathe. "You should know before you die that your dream is dead," Vader said. "Don't you know I can bow anyone to my will?" Ferus was slammed against the wall. He felt himself losing consciousness. He was glad, in the end, that he would die here at the Temple. With the ghosts of his friends, his mentors, his fellow Jedi. He would become one with the Force in the place he first discovered and nourished it.
If Trevorrow's rumoured "Duel of the Fates" was the final part of the Skywalker saga instead of "The Rise of Skywalker", I feel like this piece of music would have been perfect for the ending. I could just imagine as the camera pans over the war torn Coruscant after the final battle, as we mourn the loss of dead heroes, see a battle worn and damaged 3P0 and R2 wandering the streets, see Hux's tragic end (if you've seen the concept art you know what I'm referring to) and instead of a big party have a darker take that the force is left in balance with 1 light and 1 dark (most likely Kylo and Rey) living on and finally realising they must co-exist and not have the light prevail just like the dark can't, so that the galaxy can remain in actual balance for eternity. Then the hopeful sounding bridge (if I've got my music terminology correct) before the final chorus is symbolic of hope for the galaxy and would show the two going their separate ways to begin their individual journeys, with the final crescendo leading into the end credits. If you've got this far thank you for reading! 😂
Soundtrack aside, i really do think his movie (according to the concept arts) was going to be way more serious and darker, with a prequel-like impending doom mood, and i loved that feeling, just by looking at those artwork. We could have got a way more interesting story and coherent characters ending their journey. But thanks to Disney's coward decisions we got that nonsense called "rise of Skywalker". While JJ and Johnson made two movies in the likes of the OT trilogy, both in style and light mood, it seems Trevorrow was leaning more towards the epicness and seriousness of the prequels, so yes, this rearranged theme could suit his movie really well
It ain't a epic version it is a sad version and then gets intense not trying to be mean I never be mean I give them my opinion it is like a sad epic version I have been looking for a sad version
I get you, yes ☺️ For me it's a kind of tragic, epic version but could be interpreted as a sad version, too I wanted to express the sadness of Anakins decisions and everyone who got hurt, physically and mentally Like the younglings 🌝
No longer. Vader stoked the rage, let it swell within him. His rage was his power-something the pathetic Jedi had never understood. His rage was bottomless; his power was limitless. Ferus Olin was nothing in the face of that. Less than nothing. A roach to be squashed underfoot. Vader crossed the distance between them before the old man even had time to draw his weapon. I could kill him with a single blow, Vader thought. But there was no hurry. And he had to admit, he was curious. Ferus had become such a decrepit human specimen, paunchy and sad. Soft. It would be interesting to let him believe he could still put up a fight. Vader swung his blade down. Ferus met it solidly. There was a dull hum as the red and blue blades clashed. "Your technique has become lazy," Vader observed. He parried a blow, almost as an afterthought. Ferus didn't reply. He was breathing heavily, gasping with each lunge and thrust. Vader deflected every strike with little more than a flick of the wrist. "And you've gotten complacent," Ferus said, slashing diagonally. Vader retreated a step, and the lightsaber hummed through empty air. "You think no one can match you, right? Same old Anakin." "Anakin is dead!" Vader roared, and struck with his full power. Time to end this game. But Ferus somehow evaded the blow and then danced away from the next one, and the next. The blue blade whirled and spiraled through the air, matching Vader strike for strike, blow for blow. It was that name. That was the only explanation. Even the sound of it had somehow thrown him off balance. This was unacceptable. "You move well for a fat old man," Vader granted. He was more powerful by far, but the plastoid armor made for awkward maneuvering. And he would never reclaim the physical grace he'd had as Anakin. Vader shook off the thought, disgusted with himself. Anakin had nothing that he wanted, nothing. He let the disgust grow. This was what he needed. Not grace, not that foul Jedi concentration. Anger. Darkness. Control. Ferus leapt through the air, driving the lightsaber down in a chopping motion as he arced toward the ground. The blade came within centimeters of Vader's face plate. Sweat poured down Ferus's face with the effort of continuing the fight. And yet still, he lived. "No older than you, Anakin," he gasped. And it was true. They'd once been the same age, young and stupid, easily manipulated by their Jedi Masters. Now Vader was Master of all-and Ferus was this weak, stooped thing. Is this what Anakin would have grown into, had he stayed in that frail, human body? This sagging bag of loose flesh? Vader was furious with himself for entertaining the thought. It didn't matter what Anakin would have become. Anakin was nothing-didn't exist, had never existed. "There is no Anakin," Vader said. "And yet here he is in front of me," Ferus countered. "The same cocky, deceitful, defiant, scared little boy you always were. You killed Obi-Wan because he saw the fear behind the mask. You killed Padme... because she saw the monster." Rage blotted out Vader's vision, turning the world to darkness-everything disappeared but Ferus's disgusting, knowing smile. Ferus was the one who had never changed, was still the same insufferable child he'd always been. Vader should have done the galaxy a favor and snuffed him out at the Academy. Better late than never. Ferus advanced with a dizzying series of strikes and parries. "You can kill me if you want. But you will never kill Anakin. I suspect someday, he'll kill you." "Someday, perhaps." Vader flicked a gloved hand, and Ferus's lightsaber flew across the hall. "But unfortunately for you, that day is not today." He plunged his blade through Ferus's heart, and watched with pleasure as Anakin's long-lasting enemy dropped to the ground, the life draining from his eyes. The pathetic old man knew nothing, he told himself. Anakin was dead and gone forever. And now there was no one who could bring him back.

@@captainrex45 same happy star wars day in advance
Every star wars film is an Anakin or Anakin related film technically.
Only in his final moments was Anakin Skywalker a free man; Watto, the Jedi Order, Palpatine... Anakin was always a slave.
Ikr it wasn’t fair
Anakin's Life,
the Loss of his beloved,
and his Fate in general,
are a Hint to *NEVER* think with your Emotions. Always think with your Head.
If they ever make an Anakin Skywalker film, this HAS to be the trailer music!
That would be so great but I'm waay too unpopular to get heard by the big film industry 😭
But I'm glad u liked it, thank u so much! 🙏💙💙
Didn't they?
They have already, he’s got 6 movies
Obi-Wan trailer has it👍
Sounded kind of similar at the ending - but no, this isn't my soundtrack version 😂
"Now *this* is real fire" - Anakin on mustafar propably
This Soundtrack cooks harder than Mustafa cooked young Vader
What happened with Anakin and Obi-Wan is truly a tragic story and this song fits it so well amazing work 😢
Gods this is so bloody beautiful it brought tears to me eyes.
I've never understood why people liked pairing Duel of the Fates with Obi-Wan and Anakin, that song made more sense for Yoda and Sidious. Battle of the Heroes, now that is a song that is and will always be Anakin and Obi-Wan's. Just those 9 beats whether it is instrumental or choir you feel the absolute desperation of the song.
Thank you for making those beats the priority of this remix version
"You were my brother Anakin. I loved you."
“I HATE YOU!!!😡😤”
*_" I have brought Beat, Bass, Drum AND Volume - to my Empire's new Theme ! "_*
*_" YOUR Theme ?? "_*
I have never been made emotional by such a beautiful piece of music.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! 🙏
amen..
This is truly the best star wars soundtrack ive ever heard. keep it up
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!! It was said that you'd destroy the Sith, not join them! Bring balance to the Force... Not leave it in darkness!
Anakin-I HATE YOU
❤
Very emotional. Wish this could be part of the soundtrack for the kenobi series as a flashback scene
Thank u very much 🙏💙
For real, I contacted Disney months ago but I think I'll never get an answer 😂
Actually, this is even better than the movie, because it shows the suffering of Anakin and Obi-Wan.
Thank you my friend🙏
Ah one of my favorite Star Wars hype energetic theme battle music can also become a tragic and sad one just by listening to this.
"I have brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my new empire!"
"I will do what I must"
@@Pianistec you well try
Goosebumps.
Thank you very much 🙏
Wow! Very powerful. Super well done!

I understand that nobody may top John Williams with Star Wars mus I'll c but I wonder what if Hans Zimmer did the soundtrack in each of the movies?
That would be interesting to hear, I'm thinking of pieces containing less variations but still are a bit more epic than John Williams ones.
But we'll never know for sure .. 😅
Good

@@Pianistec My guy. Be my honor🍺
Good Job!

Very well done brother could you do one like this with the Terminator theme it would be awesome💞
I like it, it’s very epic and this is my favourite film. But in my opinion, you don’t got the Hush, the Speed of the fight, you know?

i love battle of the heroes and does not get enouguh credit. i honestly like this more than duel of the fates
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry, Anakin...for all of it."

"The Emperor cannot protect you now," Vader said.
What next? What could Ferus do to get him off balance? He suddenly had a flash of intuition. He remembered what Keets had told him.

Now he knew with absolute certainty that he had to be rid of the Sith Holocron. It had been slowly poisoning him. He had been a fool to think he could take what he wanted and not be corrupted. He had fallen into the Emperor's trap. Almost.
He Force-leaped over Vader, surprising him, and let himself fall into the hole in the floor. He heard Vader's chuckle.
"Run like the coward you are!"
The wind whistled past his ears as he fell. He landed safely in the Map Room. He headed for the stairs.
He took each turning at top speed, Force-leaping most of the way. He knew where to go. The heart of the building, the power core. No longer operational, it would still contain enough residual energy, if not to destroy the Sith Holocron, then to damage it. He ran through the hallways and found the central conduit that ran, he knew, straight down to the power core. He reached into his tunic.
You are throwing away your only chance at success.
This is not the kind of success I want.
The voices of darkness were a clamor inside him as he held the Sith Holocron. He threw it in. He felt something rip inside him. It was an agonizing pain that sent him down on his knees. He breathed through it, calling on the Force to help him.
He felt it lift. He was exhausted, but he was free. He was himself again.
Vader came out of nowhere, raising a gloved hand. Ferus felt himself lifted up, over Vader's head. He couldn't breathe.
"You should know before you die that your dream is dead," Vader said. "Don't you know I can bow anyone to my will?"
Ferus was slammed against the wall. He felt himself losing consciousness.
He was glad, in the end, that he would die here at the Temple. With the ghosts of his friends, his mentors, his fellow Jedi. He would become one with the Force in the place he first discovered and nourished it.
This is the end for you, my master...
If Trevorrow's rumoured "Duel of the Fates" was the final part of the Skywalker saga instead of "The Rise of Skywalker", I feel like this piece of music would have been perfect for the ending. I could just imagine as the camera pans over the war torn Coruscant after the final battle, as we mourn the loss of dead heroes, see a battle worn and damaged 3P0 and R2 wandering the streets, see Hux's tragic end (if you've seen the concept art you know what I'm referring to) and instead of a big party have a darker take that the force is left in balance with 1 light and 1 dark (most likely Kylo and Rey) living on and finally realising they must co-exist and not have the light prevail just like the dark can't, so that the galaxy can remain in actual balance for eternity. Then the hopeful sounding bridge (if I've got my music terminology correct) before the final chorus is symbolic of hope for the galaxy and would show the two going their separate ways to begin their individual journeys, with the final crescendo leading into the end credits. If you've got this far thank you for reading! 😂
Soundtrack aside, i really do think his movie (according to the concept arts) was going to be way more serious and darker, with a prequel-like impending doom mood, and i loved that feeling, just by looking at those artwork. We could have got a way more interesting story and coherent characters ending their journey. But thanks to Disney's coward decisions we got that nonsense called "rise of Skywalker". While JJ and Johnson made two movies in the likes of the OT trilogy, both in style and light mood, it seems Trevorrow was leaning more towards the epicness and seriousness of the prequels, so yes, this rearranged theme could suit his movie really well
Wow, beeindruckend, höchst beeindruckend. Darf ich deine Musik als Hintergrundmusik benutzen? Ich würde dich selbstverständlich verlinken! :D
Do you have a version with the chorus? This was amazing
Do you mind if I use this in a star wars gaming video sometime in the near future? This is so good!
Have a look in the description! Yes you can use it for background music in yt vids with credits to my channel. Thanks! :)
@@Pianistec Thanks! I must have missed it because it's in a different language. I really appreciate it regardless!
Please do the Imperial March soon?
Mhh yea I like this idea
But maybe as a medley version
Which song would u combine with the Imperial march? Could be from another movie, too
@@Pianistec well. Try combine it with Imperial Suite from Rogue One
Or maybe with 2 steps from hell
@@Pianistec anything. Can't wait
I'm happy to hear that, stay tuned! 😊🙏
This would be in Kenobie Series
Thanks man! 💙
Imagine you doing the super smash bros liffelight theme
Or the Mario kart star theme😂
@@Pianistec 🤣🤣🤣
the theme of the daghter of the yule king who's a soulmancer
It ain't a epic version it is a sad version and then gets intense not trying to be mean I never be mean I give them my opinion it is like a sad epic version I have been looking for a sad version
I get you, yes ☺️
For me it's a kind of tragic, epic version but could be interpreted as a sad version, too
I wanted to express the sadness of Anakins decisions and everyone who got hurt, physically and mentally
Like the younglings 🌝
@@Pianistec well it was good I have been listening to it every few times

No longer. Vader stoked the rage, let it swell within him. His rage was his power-something the pathetic Jedi had never understood. His rage was bottomless; his power was limitless.
Ferus Olin was nothing in the face of that. Less than nothing. A roach to be squashed underfoot.
Vader crossed the distance between them before the old man even had time to draw his weapon. I could kill him with a single blow, Vader thought. But there was no hurry. And he had to admit, he was curious. Ferus had become such a decrepit human specimen, paunchy and sad. Soft. It would be interesting to let him believe he could still put up a fight.
Vader swung his blade down. Ferus met it solidly. There was a dull hum as the red and blue blades clashed.
"Your technique has become lazy," Vader observed. He parried a blow, almost as an afterthought.
Ferus didn't reply. He was breathing heavily, gasping with each lunge and thrust. Vader deflected every strike with little more than a flick of the wrist.
"And you've gotten complacent," Ferus said, slashing diagonally. Vader retreated a step, and the lightsaber hummed through empty air. "You think no one can match you, right? Same old Anakin."
"Anakin is dead!" Vader roared, and struck with his full power. Time to end this game.
But Ferus somehow evaded the blow and then danced away from the next one, and the next. The blue blade whirled and spiraled through the air, matching Vader strike for strike, blow for blow.
It was that name. That was the only explanation. Even the sound of it had somehow thrown him off balance.
This was unacceptable.
"You move well for a fat old man," Vader granted. He was more powerful by far, but the plastoid armor made for awkward maneuvering. And he would never reclaim the physical grace he'd had as Anakin.
Vader shook off the thought, disgusted with himself. Anakin had nothing that he wanted, nothing. He let the disgust grow. This was what he needed. Not grace, not that foul Jedi concentration. Anger.
Darkness. Control.
Ferus leapt through the air, driving the lightsaber down in a chopping motion as he arced toward the ground. The blade came within centimeters of Vader's face plate. Sweat poured down Ferus's face with the effort of continuing the fight. And yet still, he lived. "No older than you, Anakin," he gasped.
And it was true. They'd once been the same age, young and stupid, easily manipulated by their Jedi Masters. Now Vader was Master of all-and Ferus was this weak, stooped thing. Is this what Anakin would have grown into, had he stayed in that frail, human body? This sagging bag of loose flesh?
Vader was furious with himself for entertaining the thought. It didn't matter what Anakin would have become. Anakin was nothing-didn't exist, had never existed.
"There is no Anakin," Vader said.
"And yet here he is in front of me," Ferus countered. "The same cocky, deceitful, defiant, scared little boy you always were. You killed Obi-Wan because he saw the fear behind the mask. You killed Padme... because she saw the monster."
Rage blotted out Vader's vision, turning the world to darkness-everything disappeared but Ferus's disgusting, knowing smile. Ferus was the one who had never changed, was still the same insufferable child he'd always been. Vader should have done the galaxy a favor and snuffed him out at the Academy. Better late than never.
Ferus advanced with a dizzying series of strikes and parries. "You can kill me if you want. But you will never kill Anakin. I suspect someday, he'll kill you."
"Someday, perhaps." Vader flicked a gloved hand, and Ferus's lightsaber flew across the hall. "But unfortunately for you, that day is not today." He plunged his blade through Ferus's heart, and watched with pleasure as Anakin's long-lasting enemy dropped to the ground, the life draining from his eyes.
The pathetic old man knew nothing, he told himself. Anakin was dead and gone forever. And now there was no one who could bring him back.
You know in a way John and hanz are similar the only difference is hanz is louder
I can almost hear statues From Harry Potter
Great music, but kind of soft for such a battle
Thank you! Yes you're right - it supposed to be a dramatic, emotional version
@@Pianistec I like it!
How to make any song epic: add drums
Hmm...EPIC..........ok
Anakin: Something's happening I'm not the jedi I should be.
Emperor palpatine:Your for filling your destiny Anakin.
It's not the Jedi way!
I think I should have a talk with the guys at Hollywood. You always find new ways to inspire me. Well done.
