Ok, today, a few days before i by Revenge of the Sith, i went out and bought the ROTS soundtrack...and by God...that music....it brings back so many memories. "Anakin's Betrayal" (the same music as where Anakin is burning, slightly different), had me close to tears - does anyone else get this affected by star wars, especially episode III?
When i think about the timeline as a whole, it's just so damn tragic, and i don't understand how people can knock it for the quality of some of the acting and films, because when you put the story together, it really gets to you. I'm sure this has been discussed before, but tell me - there must be others out there who are affected the same as me. Then again, i'm sure there are others who are like "it's just a story" but your opinions will be appreciated as well.

You're right from some point..........
But u cried cuz u heard da music? laughing

I cried once with star wars, when I was seven seein' Darth vader die.

But jeez how old are u?

Um, it is perfectly fine for anyone of any age to cry from the brilliant music John Williams wrote. That's what, say, Battle of the Heores is SUPPOSED to do, which is make you feel sad. JW takes sadness due to his music as a compliment.

Ah well, suppose it's better than having no friends, and just being a loser on your own, like yourself.

No, i didn't cry during revenge of the sith. I said i was close to tears - as in sadness - the music evokes sadness and the film in itself was incredibly tragic. The film in itself balances between happiness, sadness and action, but when you're listening to music that simply highlights the sadness and most horrific parts of the movie (Battle of heroes, Immolation scene), you're going to only be thinking about the sadder times of the film. I'd say that if you can be touched by art forms such as music and storytelling you've got quite a developed mind and are able to appreciate things to a degree outside the social norm, instead of being a jaded, afraid of showing feeling moron like some of the people on here.

The best music-action combination is the moment, when Anakin jumps after Obi1 and smacks him. Then they grapple and lava spurts dramatically on the background.


Now there is a great moment. And most of it comes from the music!

I have to agree with it wholeheartedly. It's just the way that Anakin stands there, raises his sabre, and then just smashes into obi wan in that mighty clash as the lava explodes up, and you're right - as the music builds up and then theres the huge crescendo as they clash...well, that's probably my favourite part in the movie.

Much as I liked this I liked Anakins betrayal better. Way more moving.

Yeah, that was probably the most moving part, but i still think the anakin obi-wan clash was the best part. Although as for a whole kinda section thingy, when the jedi are being killed was my favourite...the music in that was fantastic.

The one place i'd cry would be the 'I love u, NO i love u, NO i love u' scene.

Just terrible.

And i gotta admit the scene before the duel was highly emotional.............but cry? NO

Hurray for that being completely uncalled for.

I think the music that John Williams wrote for ROTS is excellent, though the OT score was far better. yes

"The Clone Wars have always been, in and of themeselves, from their very inception, the renenge of the Sith" "Clones open fire, and Jedi die. Alla cross the galaxy. All at once. Jedi die"-Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Stover. I take my hat off to you Mr. Stover.
Of course I cried when the music for Order 66 started playing. An excellent score by John Williams
