*smacks forehead* duh..."Duel of the Fates", what's the one fateful duel left...? that makes a bit of sense, though personally I think, as PVS I think mentioned, something darker would fit...a DotF, IM, and new mixture would be superb...
and did I spell that right 😖
i think the bulk of the duel will be DotF, but any time the action slows down, they gotta play the Emperor's Theme - like when Anakin was talking about how he killed the tusken's its very powerfully haunting music, and i would guess the Imperial March won
t be in it that much... it's to grand in scale - in my opinion at least, the imperial march works best for a grand entrance (vader), a huge shot of a fleet or slowed down to be dramatic (vaders death, anakin foreshadowing). I do think it'd be hella cool if every time there was gonna be dialogue the music stopped, and then when the action resumes, have no music for a few seconds, and then an explosion of DotF
I think part of the duel will have no music at all, part will be a variation of Duel of the Fates, part will have a variation of the Imperial March, possibly a song that resembles the end of the ROTJ duel, possibly even Qui-Gon's theme in there somewhere (you know that song that plays in the fight with him and Maul on Tatooine, thats Qui-Gon's theme basically). I'd like to see it have a mixture of all the music we've heard, but varied to fit a fight, and some new music as well, and I'd like for it to end with a sort of sad Imperial March (similar to the one when Anakin dies, but not more of a deeply hurt instead of relieved sadness).
And of course the end of the movie should have Kenobi with Luke on Tatooine, and it should BLAST the Force theme like we've never heard it before. Naturally The Force theme should be in the duel too.
Don't forget, John Williams specifically writes the SW music so that it can altered and reworked. I expect the basis of the fight to be Duel of the Fates, probably played slower and more sinister. Working a bit of the Obi Wan/Force theme and the Imperial March into it somehow would be very cool......
how about a tune that makes you ' clap your hands to the beat' ?
