BCanr2d2 Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Imagine that you could rescore all of the OT movies with whatever music you liked, any artists, any style. How would you do it, what kind of difference would it make to the SW world? I know that John Williams music is awesome with the saga, and is an integral part of it all. What I am also after is chosing a band/artist that could score the whole saga, and show where their songs fit into the trilogy.... Just an exercise in alternate thinking....

Tie Guy Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 If i had to do it all over again, i'd choose John Williams. You simply cannot get any better than him for theme music, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I agree that you can't get better than John Williams. He is a master and the god of movie scores. I don't know what will happen once he passes away... Anyways, this is kinda related to the topic. Did you guys hear that John will be going back and reworking all of the scores for the classic trilogy after EP3 is finished? I heard this from tfn a while ago, and I think it is exciting news! I personally believe that the PT has superior music than the OT, and putting those elements into the OT will only make it kick more ass.

Katarn07 Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I'd get Jabba's band to sing a better song, both the original and SE. Same with the Ewok song. But that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tie Guy Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Well, i would defiantely clean up the audio on the OT at least. When i watch the VHS's and turn up the volume really loudly then you can clearly hear how bad the quality is. On the DVD's of the PT though you can turn it up as loud as you like without any deterioration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movies were fine the way they were, why does Lucas feel the need to dick around with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I agree, leave them alone already! I wouldn't change a thing about the music, John Williams is a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeiamyourdad Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 If he redid the music, everyone will complaint! unless he only wants simply make it sound better like re-mastering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Well I'm listening to the A New Hope score right now and I think the only thing that could improve it would be just to re-record it. Exactly the same score, but recorded with modern equipment. I think that would really make a big difference and not mess much with the trilogy. Apart from that no new music (unless they add new scenes that need music). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted January 20, 2003 Author Share Posted January 20, 2003 C'mon, ever thought that you could use Foo Fighters' Next Year when Luke choses to leave Tatooine and follow Obi-Wan? The beginning of Metallica's S&M version of One as the intro music? I agree with everyone of you, that John Williams work on not only Star Wars, but many others is pure genius. But can't we take that to the side for a moment, and chose any possible alternative.... Perhaps asking for a total rescore, how about even trying to name some alterative music even for smaller parts of the movie.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Rive Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 What do you all think about GL asking ILM to take all the special effects scenes in the OT and updating them to pretty CGI versions? I mean, I know that would be kind of sacreligious in a way, considering all the work they did on those scenes 25-odd years ago was ground-breaking and revolutionary, but still... It'd make Eps IV-VI fit better visually with I-III. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Shutt Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 They already did this in 1997. They released "special editions" with lots of unneccessary CGI effects. As a result, the films are completely unwatchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about re-doing every single model-shot based special effect: every single TIE-Fighter, every X-Wing, every piece of trench scenery, every asteroid, etc. Maybe even all the matt painting backgrounds, eg the rebel base hangar behind Lando in Ep VI, replacing those with high quality 3D renders.

BCanr2d2 Posted January 25, 2003 Author Share Posted January 25, 2003 We all agree on that, but I am not asking for just movie music, just any kind of music that would fit into any part of the SW saga. Remove the total score done by JW, and redo it differently. I didn't ask people to say that we shouldn't touch it, and that JW is the best, I asked for alternatives. It's ok for people to ask questions in regards to recasting the OT cast, but the music seems off limits!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rive Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Sometimes, whilst watching Yoda in Ep I, I occasionally caught myself humming the theme to "The Muppet Show", and I can't for the life of me figure out why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 I wouldnt touch it. Only John Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 See the problem is that if you use any kind of popular music in a film, you date the film. If GL had used popular music in the OT, it would have probably been disco. Then we would laugh at those films now. But now since the Star Wars standard is John Williams' Orchestrations, all the films are in line with one another and if you watch them 75 years from now, they will still seem unique. So with that in mind, what, oh what could you possible use to replace the existing soundtrack. And I don't know about you, but Sci-Fi movies with Psuedo Industrial Technopop is a played out fad.
