It would've been classic :) I agree it's weird to see Samuel L so laid back. I kept waiting for him to get that intense gleam in his eye.. never quite happened. Yoda is still a quirky character.. I think they could have added some zest to Samuel's character as well - but then again, all the dialogue could have used a good deal of spicing up, IMO!

Actually, each main character has their own themes. Luke = french horn. Leia = flutes & Clarinets Darth Vader = Brass Yoda = a good mix of everything, he is wise and encompassing everything Jabba the Hutt = Tuba Ewoks = Strings, flutes & clarinets Emperor = Strings, tympani & chorus Watch the movies again, and listen closely. Everytime each character is on screen there is an instrument representing them. It is quite amazing, how you think you are listening to one piece of music, but if you listen close you are hearing something a little different. Lucas wants to go back and redo the music for Star Wars, to add more of these themes, that may have come later in the series. Like "the Imperial March" was from Empire, but he wants to go back and add it to the opening of Star Wars when Vader makes his grand entrance. (he's even filmed more scenes to add to the Special, Special Edition with Jimmy Smits as Bail Organa) John Williams is a genius.(minus the slump between Jurassic Park and Episode 1) You can't hit a homerun every time. ;) -chris > > Now I've got to go see the movie again.

I wasn't impressed, but I heard it was a bad mix for them. Still, they weren't all that IMO. What are the best tracks I should get from Circle of Dust to check out what kind of band they are? You guys have been talking about them, but I'm pretty clueless here. So anyway, I'll try to track down some MP3s if I know what to look for... Okay ... guys ... A question I've been meaning to inquire about, but I'm just sure someone's going to get mad at my asking ... I didn't have a job at the end of 99 and was not able to be in the DTIFC when they "released" that CD that had their missing tracks on it. Does anybody know where I can get a bootleg version of these songs? .. And maybe WDATodayU as well... Thanks, and hopefully nobody gets mad and just says "Moron, you should have been in the DTIFC..." :) Cyaron "Never stop dreaming, because your dreams will never die.
