Replacing "Hello there with" "Yo what's up" is one of the most unholy things I have ever heard in my entire life
It’s unforgivable
So uncivilized
Its treason, then
"Wait a second! How did this ["Yo what's up?"] happen? We're smarter than this!"
yo whats up im the scout
This is the strangest-looking Ratatouille video I've ever seen.

Can we just call Palpatine's Theme "the Palpa-theme" from now on?
Absolutely!
**Yes**
No.
@@_somerandomguyontheinternet_ bruh
Somehow Palpatheme returned…
I do think Qui-Gon Jinn vs Darth Maul was a true duel of the fates. Palpatine knew that only Qui-Gon was powerful enough to train Anakin, the chosen one, without him being tempted towards the darks side. With Qui-Gon's death the Jedi Order's fate was sealed.
I never thought about that ... now I'm sad 😢
@@mrs_mothra547 That was the same reaction I had when I saw this theory a few years ago and it instantly made me love Qui-Gon even more
I think it was Dave Filoni who actually confirmed it. Really fitting it being duel of the fates, if Qui-Gon wins Anakin will be the Jedi Orders saviour. If Maul wins, he would be its downfall
not more powerful but just more experienced and he knew what anakin was going through more than obi wan. qui gon was the father anakin needed but instead he got a brother in obi wan and a new father figure in Palpatine
Hey Jedi maybe you might wanna stop blaming Anakin and take accountability like Obi-Wan did
Episode 9 scene: EXISTS
Binary Sunset: "So anyways I started blasting."
Have you heard the Last Jedi soundtrack? Binary sunset is in like every piece.
I don’t like how the Disney films use the Force theme like it’s the main theme of Star Wars. It could work, aside from the fact that there is already a theme for Star Wars literally called “Main Title” that plays at the beginning of each movie.
Sequels: You get a Force theme, and you get a Force theme, and he gets a Force theme! Force theme for eeevvvverybodeeeh!
@@lukar7306 I haven't seen Last Jedi since I first watched it in the cinema, but I don't remember noticing binary sunset that much. Rise of Skywalker on the other hand I noticed spamming the song like there was no tomorrow as I was watching it, but perhaps I was only starting to notice it then because the other movies had used it so much.
@@ferhog7705 spamming? That piece is in every star wars movie
As a kid, Across the Stars tricked me into thinking that the romance in Attack of the Clones was actually good...
Same, but Across the Stars is still my favourite Star Wars piece.
Eh, it’s still a lovely piece to play at a wedding or formal dance for partners anyway.
Same
Honestly I can’t be mad at the romance dialogue in the prequels for two reasons
1. I love the prequels and choose to overlook their flaws (most of the time)
2. The dialogue between Anakin and Padme is more believable and is a lot better than most of my romantic dialogue in every relationship lol.
I find it annoying that many bash that romance, but don't see how poorly the one with Leia and Han aged. Han doesn't respect her boundaries, constantly berates her and the constant bickering isn't charming, it's a huge red flag for an unhealthy relationship. Many creeps took inspiration from this kind of flirting and many women I know find this intrusive behaviour uncomfortable.
That Imperial March/Across the Stars transition is John Williams saying "This is HOW the Empire happens....and this is WHY the Empire happens!" Absolutely genius
I never noticed that! Thanks for pointing it out
sideways talking about music: This music compliments the scene foreshadowing the character's betrayal, showcasing the inner conflict, and contains leitmotifs from all over star wars
schaff: its cool
It's EPIC 🤯
The difference between an expert complimenting the thing and a non-expert complimenting the thing
Their saying the same thing just varying complexity
"I love Star Wars, but it does not love me back!"

@@gamerule18 Yes
@@gamerule18 it's treason then
I have zero doubt that the score in the prequels is a big part of why fans like me are so forgiving with them. The worldbuilding is imaginative, the music is fantastic, the good moments are great, the bad moments are funny-bad, and the wider narrative is up there with the OT if you can get past its clumsy execution.
I’d add in the SFX are also of really high quality. If you saw the movies as a kid practically every scene triggers some kind of Pavlovian response
And the script is memey
I've always thought they were flawed but they were great star wars movies, and that's something disney can't do is make star wars movies. They can just make movies.
Tbh the older i get the less critical i get of them and the more i accept them for what they are. The OT actually looks more basic nowadays tbh. I usually put on 1-3 if i want to watch star wars.
@@vgrepairsI’m the same way. I always watch episodes 3 and 4.
I think Anakin’s theme from TPM is really great. It’s so full of childish hope an innocence but it references the Imperial March. Even though he’s still just a kind young child he’s already fated to be a monster.
NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THIS ON TPM, like duel of the fates is incredible but Anakin's theme is a 100% chance of maxing out volume and maybe repeating a couple times its THAT beautiful
@@BreMue Damn right
It’s such a subtle reference! when does that reference appear during the film?
@@noahmoore6513 it appears right after Anakin wins the pod race, and during the credits as well
Still can't get over how the canteena theme's canonical genre is "jizz".
Wait wtf
Yeah, jizz-wailers make the best music.
Can't call it "jazz," now can we?
No, that's the name of the band that plays the music... I don't even care about starwars, why did I know that?
Lol
“There is such a thing as too much palpatine” is the Rise of Skywalker in one sentence.
Brannock McCartan The Rise of Shitwalker**
I’m a turtle OR AM I my mistake haha
r/prequelmemes is after you
I can't describe it more perfectly.
Very ironic as he is in so little of it. He's just written and used so horribly.
My college's wind orchestra conductor pointed out that Rey's theme reflects the way she walks. her steps are always light, never heavy, almost athletic or cat-like in that regard. in that sense, her theme is never overly bombastic or heavy. it has light instrumentation, staccato beats, and an overall light and jumpy tone without being explicitly uplifting.
It's the desert mouse theme. Could be Muad'Dib's theme in a Dune adaptation hehehe.
Fun fact: The music for the duel between Maul and Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon is called Duel of the Fates because that battle was actually the point that defined the future of the galaxy. If Qui-Gon had lived, Anakin would not have fallen to the dark side because Qui-Gon was the best teacher Anakin could have gotten, and would have been able to help Anakin with his feelings. Almost no other moment in the entire prequel trilogy carries the same weight that that duel does, even if it isn't immediately apparent.
Very true
Did anyone actually involved in the film’s production say this?
Kinda like Age of Ultron.
@@nykcarnsew2238 yes Dave fillioni

General Pryde: Gets blown out of a window
*Mystical force theme plays*
Ah yes, the best musical moment.

@@godderific6443 pffftt.
Cooper Brown Well, everyone can use the force, so I don’t see why not.
Let’s be honest, Star Wars wouldn’t be as popular without John Williams.
Star Wars wouldn't be anything without John Williams
@luke A now I disagree with that as it would still be good but just not as good.
True...
I like what he pointed out about the Force Awakens soundtrack b'coz like the rest of the movie they had potential and an opportunity to go in a unique direction.
@@marshmallowvampire8503 Whatta ya mean TFA was a good movie
Another Sheev Palpatine
Eh, it was pretty ok
I think a theme that is not talked about enough, is the theme when we’re introduced to the clones. It really gives a sense of getting ready for battle, and goes very well with the troopers stomping
The theme is just the droid army theme
Across the Stars is such a wonderful theme. It perfectly tells the love story between Padme and Anakin, from their unlikely meeting to eventual betrayal and heartbreaking death. I love the swells and the more sinister bits are like the darkness creeping into their otherwise perfect romance. When we get to the ritardando near the end, it becomes musically clear that Padme is going to die of heartbreak. I just love how Williams managed to tell an entire love story over the course of one theme but damn it hits everytime for me.
No, there’s never too much Palpatine

Its so fuckin real

Not like Anakin was a hero of Naboo Blockade, hot as fuck and guy who is good pilot, great warrior and person who does not get appreciation for his greatness. Also he tried to save his mother.
"I hate sand"
*boosts up to 1000%*
For me Phantom Menace is misplaced, the Droid Army Theme is really good and memorable a completely new theme not just repeat of Imperial March but underlining the Invasion Force so well.
They also mentioned the music being great when Anakin lands the Invisible Hand. Apparently they didn't realise it was reused from when he destroys the control ship in TPM.
I love how Rey's theme is a remix of Palpatine's. Say what you want about the sequels but star wars never has a bad score.
I didnt know that
Imo Rise of Skywalker has a bad score. A lot of the time it isn't bad in a technical sense, but it's so insultingly low effort with how it's implemented, doesn't fit 80% of the time, and even more than any other movie, is so blatantly going "remember this piece from the older movies?? Clap and cheer plz" every 10 minutes or so, without anything new of substance, that I hate it
It's not as flawed in how it's written in a vacuum like some other scores outside of Star Wars, but it's so pathetic in how it's used (likely the fault of the director, JJ Abrams) that it's possibly one of my least favorite soundtracks in any movie
And that sucks to say cause I don't hate the sequels
I dont like the sequels, but Reys theme is great.
@🏳️🌈⃠[Ace Attorney] Lord Fawful I think Rey and Kylo's themes were inverse of each other too IIRC, watched a video a long time ago on how all 3 of their themes relate
You want to know something else? Kylo's theme is the last four notes of Palpatine's. In a sense, Rey's theme opening with Palpatine foreshadows her origin, while Kylo's theme being the ending of Palpatine's theme symbolizes his desire to preserve the last remnants of the Empire
Schafrillas: The force theme
Sideways, an intellectual: Obi-Wan’s theme
Sideways must always be the intellectual.
They're both wrong, actually. "Binary Sunset," or whatever you want to call it, is actually (as I see it) the Hero's Journey Theme for ANH. Since ANH was originally just "Star Wars" and it was likely going to be a standalone movie, Williams needed a way to convey Luke's journey throughout the movie. If you think about it that way, the music makes so much more sense in the context of both the Binary Sunset scene and the Throne Room scene: the former represents Luke's longing for adventure and the unknown world, and the latter represents Luke's triumphant return to the known world. It even shows up in other pivotal points for the Hero's Journey, such as Obi-Wan's (the "mentor's") introduction and "the abyss" where every other ship has been destroyed in the trench run and there are more seconds before the Death Star blows ups the Rebel Base. I really don't understand why nobody else sees this.
I think it is the Force theme, not necessarily a “Hero’s Journey Theme”
Even if the movie was made to be standalone, the Force plays a role throughout the film. It plays when Obi Wan is introduced because he is a Force wielder, an agent of the Force. Much like “Vader’s Theme” is really the Imperial March, but is heard when Vader is on the screen because he is an agent of the Empire. One could argue that the Force theme could also play for Vader, but it could also be said that Vader’s allegiance to the Empire outweighs his use of the Force.
As for why the Force theme plays during the trench run, that’s because Obi Wan speaks to Luke through the Force and because Luke uses the Force to help guide the proton torpedoes.
The reason it plays during the binary sunset theme is because Luke is considering the consequences of leaving Tatooine, and the Force helps guide Luke down the path that will eventually restore balance to the Force (kind of).
That said, I see how it could be thought of as a “Hero’s Journey Theme”, both ideas work.
@@nosher0267 He's not wrong. The original intent in annotations for the score state that it was to serve as Obi-Wan's theme. Then it evolved into the general Force theme.
“I feel like duel of the fates would suit yoda vs palpatine more”
*laughs in Dave Filoni*
What you mean?!
@@Gadget-Walkmen basically recently Dave Filoni came out and explained that duel of the fates is the theme for Qui-Gon vs Maul due to the fact that Qui-Gon surviving and serving as the father figure and appropriate mentor for Anakin to steer him on the right path would have prevented his turn to the dark side. It’s a literal duel for the fate of the galaxy and for the chosen one.
I was thinking the same thing
The part with Anakin riding the speeder the reason John used duel of the fates is because the fates that are "dueling" in phantom menace is Anakin fate and when Qui-gon Dies Anakins turn to the dark side, his fate is sealed
Honestly, it feels like whenever an actual member of Lucasfilm explains why the prequels are great, prequel haters just go "NANANANANAIMNOTLISTENING", like any sort of praise for them is just automatically wrong.
The piece that plays during Luke and Vader’s final confrontation, when Luke rages on his father, is my favorite piece in the entire series. It’s so heartwrenching in a way that is wholly unique in the series
35:14 And it's not just any dramatic chanting, it's the theme of Qui Gon's funeral. Anakin's fall to the dark side began the moment Qui Gon died.

At the scene where Anakin attacks Mace Windu you can hear a heroic theme but the music slowly distorts as Anakin chooses to do the evil thing instead of something heroic, it is beautiful

It's just the sudden TF2 reference that makes it the best clip.
I love the brief moment of the jedi temple march when the clones marching becomes a percussion instrument in itself and feels like an army on its way to a final onslaught
14:52 the scene where Rey and Finn run towards the ship that Rey said was ‘garbage’ and it’s revealed to be the Millennium Falcon, the music that plays there was just so upbeat, obviously it was fan service but upon first viewing it was amazing.
Not really. It feels more "action-y" to me. At least they didn't play the main Star Wars theme there, right?
It's the rebel fanfare
@@melissaharris3389It apparently became the theme for the Falcon over time.

It's a reused track from the arena in II, so if anything the credit should go to Attack of the Clones ;)

I need to call attention to how amazing Grevious' theme is as a theme for a villain like him, he's this unfeeling machine but he still has the heart and mind of a great warrior, and the theme does an amazing job of blending the mechanical Droid army theme with this powerful feeling of honor and tribal militarism that just perfectly frames this terrifying cyborg warrior.
The only theme I’m disappointed that they didn’t talk about was “Love Pledge and The Arena”. This theme takes great beats from across the stars, then immediately transitions to an ominous snap back to reality in the Geonotian arena. And when the droids get revealed to attack the Jedi, Oh my gosh. That is a bop. And the way the second half of the song gets used again in anakins March on the Jedi temple is so amazing. I don’t know why more people aren’t talking about this.
Yes, my favorite part of love pledge and the arena is when the across the stars theme speeds up
It still angers me to this day that John Williams was nominated for an Oscar for all the sequel scores but none of the prequels
RIGHT? ROTS is one of his BEST works!
I just realised that Rise of the Skywalker and Revenge of the Sith has the same capital letters.
It’s all a game, sadly, the true way to do it, is in the fans opinions of the best
Hollywood status quo hated Lucas for being succesful doing his own thing. On the other hand they now pander to Disney who finally owns the damn thing while George is retired.

@@ttry1152 yes. I think Giacchino did a fantastic job with Rogue One, considering he only had about 4 weeks to write the whole soundtrack.

Here are the symphonies of John Williams for all nine Skywalker Saga films:
1. Symphony No. 3 in E-flat Major (1976)
2. Symphony No. 4 in F-sharp Minor (1980)
3. Symphony No. 6 in G Major (1983)
4. Symphony No. 14 in F Minor (1999)
5. Symphony No. 16 in A Major (2002)
6. Symphony No. 17 in C Minor (2005)
7. Symphony No. 20 in C Major (2015)
8. Symphony No. 22 in G Minor (2017)
9. Symphony No. 23 in D Major (2019).
John Williams scored Valley of the Dolls back in 1965, with his very first symphony. Ever after, he was known as "Johnny Williams" in Hollywood. However, since Johnny Williams is the name of an actor from the 1980's, John Williams rejected his nickname. Williams scored every single film by Steven Spielberg with only two exceptions, the Color Purple (1985) and the Post (2017). John Williams also wrote the incidental music in Spielberg's remake of West Side Story, even though much of the music was written by Leonard Bernstein.

Finn vs Kylo is probably my favorite saber fight in the films precisely because there's no music. It just feels so raw and to the point.
Its choreography is atrocious.
The order 66 scene (titled "Anakin's Betrayal") is amazing specifically for how well Williams pairs certain moments of the suite with small moments in the film as it's carried out. In the small part where Padme starts crying as she watches the temple burning, there's this soft, haunting melody that sounds like a broken relative to "Across The Stars". It's just one of those times where the music, cinematography, and powerful acting all line up to make a perfect moment.
John Williams' score makes you excited even when there is nothing happening on screen
The last jedi makes me more excited when there is nothing on the screen
Anakin: just walking
The score: *epic music that fills me with excitement and dread intensifies*
I found them a lot less impactful once I learned that quite a lot of his scores in Star Wars and not kinda copy or straight up copy some classical pieces or other pieces in general.
Personally, I think that there wasn't enough Grievous.

35:05 duel of the fates is actually called that way because its a fight over anakin’s fate. If maul beats qui gon, ani will be destined to fall to the dark side, as qui gon is the only one who would be able to correctly train anakin due to the way he views the connection to the force and how he isn’t tottally in agree with the jedi order in its ways. Loved the video, greetings from argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
I’m pretty skeptical if this since it came from someone who had no involvement in the making of TPM decades after it’s release. EU writers say stuff like this all the time
“I love Star Wars…
but it does not love me back.”
This is the best description of Star Wars I’ve ever seen.

"Is Rey even her own character anymore?!"
No.
When Vader rises on the table for the first time in his new suit in ROTS, the music used there gives me chills every single time 🔥
Duel of the Fates "while Anakin is riding on his speeder on Tatooine just like how we meet Darth Maul" is completely missing the point. He's racing to save his mother, he's trying to save someone he loves despite being told to let go. What leads him to the Dark path in the end? The same exact thing. His mother warns him in TPM "You can't stop the change, anymore than you can stop the suns from setting" and what's happening in the background as he races to save her? The suns setting. Duel of the Fates is about Anakin losing his family, first his father figure Qui-Gon, then his mother Shmi, then his brother Obi-Wan. These losses shift the destiny of the entire galaxy forever. And directly leading up to each loss, a version of Duel of the Fates plays.
Duel of the Fates is about, Fates. Qui Gon Vs Maul was a Fate between Anakin’s fate. If Qui Gon beats Maul, light side wins, if Maul kills Qui Gon, Anakin will slowly drifts to the dark side. Same with his mother. If Anakin saves his mother alive, he stays in the light side. But if his mother dies, he goes deeper in the dark. The first two movies uses duel of the fates as Anakin fates to the dark side hard
@@Shizilol The third time is about The fate about The republic/empire/galaxy.
@@shawerful5209 yep, what they did not mention is that for Anakin vs Obiwan its not exactly Duel of the Fates, theres a Duel of the Fates motif in the theme (bc the fate of the chosen one and therefore the fate of the force is at stake) but its not it, its appropiately called Battle of the Heroes and its a 5 min masterpiece
And remember that his fear of losing Padme leads him to the dark as he doesn’t want to lose another loved one
It's all Ki Adi Mundi's fault.
Questions science still can't answer...
Why Rise of Skywalker got nominated over Avengers Endgame for best original score.
There’s an even bigger question:
Why didn’t Revenge the Sith get nominated for Best Original Score or Best Visuals Effects yet Attack of the Clones got nominated for Best Visual Effects. What is up with that?! And

@@someromaboo yeah they awarded Teen Titans Go for the best dc animation. I mean I didn't hate TTG but there's other dc animation that are better then TTG.
35:00 the reason that duel of the fates is used for the Maul fight is because it is a duel over the fate of Anakin. Qui Gon could've taught Anakin to control the dark and light side of the forces, becoming balance, so his death was essentially in turning Anakin.
YES! And it's used again when Anikin speeds across Tatooine because the duel between darkness and light is happening within Anikin.
Exactly
What’s your source for this?
one thing i really like about qui-gon's funeral music is how it was brought back twice. once for padme's funeral (which made for a nice callback) and twice for the start of the last episode of the clone wars, victory and death. for the latter it really set the mood for a tense episode where we had no idea where it was going
Scraff : *Puts ROTS on number 1 without talking about Anakin's Betrayal and talks down to ROTS as a movie*
Me : This is outrageous, it's unfair😔😒
I guess it's for better.He doesn't love that movie as much as others while enjoying
He does reference A Path I can’t follow, which I do like a little bit more as it feels like the culmination of a series of events. While Anakin’s betrayal is always associated with the Jedi purge and Order 66, the other version makes me think about everyone else who died to get to this moment.
The second half of Anakin's Dark Deeds is amazing
Edit: I think that part of the song is "I'm so sorry", but it never was released
ROTS as a movie is overrated, despite me loving it.
Spooks yes, but the music is damn godly
Basically, even John Williams doesn't know what to do with The Rise of Skywalker.
If I recall correctly, they actually had Williams compose the music BEFORE the movie was done. The poor man hadn't even seen the film he was writing the music for, so he pretty much tried to do a tribute to Star Wars music as opposed to writing music that could clash horribly with the scenes they were scored to.
@Jimb0 Exactly. That's actually as close to a compliment as Rise of Skywalker will ever get.
Classical Music Makes sense. They were still shooting in November.
I didn’t find the score that bad.
@@octaviocontrerasvalle811 It's not inherently bad but it's not very original. And we know John Williams is no slacker when it comes to writing film scores. I mean The Force Awakens has an excellent score, even if it fails in many other aspects. Honestly if Ennio Morricone hadn't been overdue foe an Oscar in 2015, Williams might have taken home his sixth Oscar.
Solo and Rogue One had some of the best music. When the Hammerhead Pushes a destroyer into another, then also makes them crash into the shield, the music made it such a pleasure to watch. That one redhead chicks theme was thrilling and intense, and so unique.
Here's a dumb little thought i had: the way that schaffrillas ranked the musical aspect of the films also kind of reflects how most people see each individual trilogy, the sequels almost universally disliked and seen as the lowest point of the saga, the prequels which where once hated and mocked, but ever since the sequels came out the there have been a large majority of people who claim the prequels were actually good and had been taken for granted, leaving the trilogy as a somewhat mixed bag, and the original trilogy, the one aspect of the saga that most people could agree on as the best films of the franchise.
Revenge of The Sith has best soundtrack I will not compromise.
Duel of the fates from episode 1 tho 😩😍

now that she has sand on her, anakin has no choice but to abandon her.
I unironically love Jedi Rocks; it's the visuals that want to make me claw my eyes out. I think the reason I like it so much is because it was one of the background tracks that played during the old Battlefront II Mos Eisley map, and I logged so many hours playing assault mode on that stage. The nostalgia feels of killing Darth Vader as Luke plays out in my mind each time I hear it.
Lapti Nek was also on that map.
When its at number 1 and revenge of the sith hasn't been mentioned:
"This is where the fun begins!"
"Oh, this is going to be easy"
“I’ve been looking forward to this”
"You must realize you are doomed"
Los Angeles Lakers Uber Alles it’s treason then
@Los Angeles Lakers Uber Alles "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy!"
Without John Williams
Star Wars wouldn’t had existed
And that’s a fact
the running man ‘tis true
At first I thought well it still would have but it would have been worse
Now I’m thinking, it barely got green lit so if he didn’t do the score there’s no way it would have been green lit
So I agree
the running man have not had, or just wouldn’t exist.
I mean, they do confirm in Empire of Dreams that the movie was just a shitshow until John Williams finished the score.
Very close to a haiku
The Phantom Menace is super underrated here. Duel of the fates is not the only good piece, the Droid invasion theme is great.
@Kenobi no where close to ROTS
@Kenobi my bad. I actually misread your original comment are prequels not sequels lol🤦🏻♂️.
Yes TPM does have some brilliant music too.
Flag Parade is also goddamn catchy
@@AmitluYES! The Flag Parade music on Tatooine deserves more praise. I agree.
Revenge of the Sith’s score is what makes it so emotional. Brought me to tears when I saw it in theaters as a kid.
Here's my list:
1) John Williams
Same dude
Lol
"tHeRe aRe nO memorable mOmEnTs iN pHaNtOm mEnAcE"

I've rewatched TPM yesterday and half the time I was crying in nostalgia, I mean, the scene where Qui Gon goes in the underwater city?! It's literally branded in my brain since 1999
You have to admit- the third act of Attack of the Clones is really good (even though my only problems with Attack of the Clones is the overuse of CGI and the awkward dialogue between Anakin and Padmé). The third act (for me) is perfect. The score, the directing, the choreography, and even the plot!
I think that AOTC is just okay overall
@@KaminoKatie Yeah, me too. Attack Of The Clones and The Phantom Menace are so much better than the entire Sequel Trilogy and that goshforsaken Holiday Special.

Still tryna figure out how Williams didn't get a nomination for Revenge of the Sith. HOOOOWWW?!
It is not that hard to tell. The critics didn’t like it, so they did not nominate it.
Stupid critics.
I think there's a rule about original music needing to be at least 70% or 80% of the film's total score. As good as it is, there are a ton of reused score segments from previous Star Wars films that kept it from getting nominated.
Leave nomination he should have won an Oscar
@@TheNMan64 to be honest, its sometimes a shitty rule depending on the movie.
But didn’t they mention that rule was made because Rise of Skywalker got nominated?
Wasn't expecting Sideways (I couldn't see the whole title)!
I've known him since before this channel (which isn't a lot, only discovered this channel recently and I'm now binging everything recognizable), and haven't seen him in a while; nice to hear his voice again
27:05 YOU AGREED TO PICK ONE FAVOURITE SCENE
I lied
Rise of Skywalker achieved the impossible. It had a forgettable Star Wars score. How? How? How did this happen? And it somehow made me not like Palpatine in a movie. I still can’t believe that this movie happened.
How did this happen, we're smarter than this
It also achieved the impossible by making almost everyone unite and hate it collectively

14:02 Imagine how great Rey as a protagonist could have been: Her growing up on a sand planet, even though not on Tatooine, but still, on a sand planet like our previous two protagonists. And her musical theme having this wonderful leitmotif connection to Palpatine‘s theme and thus himself. Story-wise there is so much in this to use for a general trilogy outline for the character. The fact that she comes from a desert planet but not the one like our other two main characters, showing how she is important for the balance of the force, despite not being a skywalker by blood and still being closely tied to them by being some sort of offspring of palpatine. I like to think that despite her being his offspring that he won’t appear in the sequels and the main antagonists could/ would be Kylo, where there was also much potential to tie Rey and him together because of HIS connection to the skywalkers, and again some sort of leader like Snoke or Hux were but them pulling the strings on Kylo because he is estranged from his parents. I really like the idea of a Kylo/Skywalker like Ben solo who is the antagonist and someone else who‘s not Skywalker by blood being the counterpart to that, it really shifts the tone while organically changing up the character connections we had in previous trilogies. The concept that Ben struggles with his inheritance to the point where he leaves his parents and Luke behind to turn to the dark side is so cool as a parallel to Anakin‘s Downfall and it would also be a good opportunity to tell more story with Luke but this time in a mentor role where he has still room to improve after having failed Kylo after the Victory in Ep. 6. The revelation that an (ancient) sith is actually controlling everything like in Episode 9‘s version from Trevorrow is also not a bad idea and solely with all this you have a great outline for your trilogy.
I genuinely believe Rey’s theme is beautiful and The March of The Resistance is clearly what inspired The Bad Batch theme- which i love
The sad version of Imperial March when Vader’s mask comes off gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
Chilling
I'm not crying you are crying
Anakin: Darth Vader is dead. All hail the return of Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One! I am reborn, Sidious! Before me, you are nothing!
Darth Vader: No. NOOOOOOOOOO! (throws Palpatine down the tube)
Wait that’s what playing, I’ve never noticed that, such a cool detail
It felt so cheap when they reused the *exact* same music in episode 9 when they stopped by the old death star ruins. What once had so much meaning was instead used for "member death star?", like, are we supposed to be sad that the death star is destroyed or something? Complete butchery of star wars music which devalues the original
I was so scared Revenge wouldn't get its credit as #1.
That movie takes all the music and blends it together and STILL adds memorable themes. Every time I listen to the music, I catch new motifs embedded in the quiet tracks like Anakin's Nightmare.
Last act pure joy to listen. I would say that probably same rush as cocaine user get. :D
It makes me sad. the score is absolutely my favourite in star wars. if you ever get the chance, check out samuel kim's blending of order 66 and Anakin's dark deeds. gave me a sense of dread and sadness that is incomprehensible.
The music is better than the movie
Yes I agree Revenge of the sith been always be number 1 as music theme in the movie and as movie itself. My personal favorite for years have been the theme where Anakin walks with his 501st legion to the jedi temple, when it just sounds so epic and you know where this is going towards, when his about to kill all the jedies and sith empire will rise after I think. This video ranking is preatty good, but I think all sequals movies should be last, because the movie story is copy from orginals and there is no new great music themes, because they did not put that much effort into it, when the story of the movies were also going to be shite. Atleast the prequals and even Phantom Menace offers some new great Star Wars themes we had not heard before in orginals, so thats why I think Phantom Menace themes are even better, than Star Wars sequals themes are.
Grievous theme
Order 66
Anakin’s dark deeds/i’m so sorry
Battle of the heroes
Immolation scene
Padmes funeral
masterclass of music
I adore Revenge of the Sith’s soundtrack as well as the movie itself! I do feel like the Clone Wars TV series has a gorgeous soundtrack! Ashoka’s theme playing when she leaves the order brings me to tears every time!
I love this video and another great one is Charles Cornell’s about how Williams used so much of the music from Gustav Holst’s The Planets because it provides a really interesting and important background without taking away from the accomplishments of the scores at all
John Williams is literally the god of music for film - Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jaws, E.T., Harry Potter, Schindler's List, and so many more spectacular pieces.
Yes his Schindlers list is easily his best work
Jurassic Park will never not make me emotional
The real films’ music god is Ennio Morricone
