Question Is There A Sequence After The Final Credits?

I posted a comment similiar to this in the soundtrack thread a while back and I think it got overlooked... but it is something I have really been wondering a lot about.

It is purely speculation and I have absolutely NO "real" evidence to back it up...

But here goes:


Did anyone else think that the end-credits track seemed rather long? From the moment the credits start to roll (based on the music from the other 5 movies) until the final sound on the track I count 11 minutes 44 seconds. The length of the Episode II End Credits Sequence was 6 minutes 1 second. That is almost half the time of the Episode III End Credits Sequence (a difference of 5 minutes 43 seconds in length)

Unless the soundtrack is different from the movie, that would be a record length for credits in a Star Wars film. It could just be extra long for the soundtrack, but usually this track is exactly how it sounds in the movie!

Dare I speculate that some of this music corresponds to something else either after or in the middle of the credits?

Might there be some kind of montage of footage from the 20 years between the trilogies?

Maybe flashes of footage from the Old Trilogy?

Some kind of cool surprise? eek!

You have to admit that it would make sense to see something a bit cheerful after such a dark movie since this is the end of star wars and how most people will remember it.

I know there will be many that disagree with me and that is fine. I just want to hear what everyone else thinks about this. wink

I was just wondering that exact thing today as I listened to the ROTS soundtrack yet again, about perhaps their being footage in the credits from the OT. I hope not though. It just destroys the visual continuity of the films... I guess it would be cool in the theatrical release only, but once it hit DVD, I would want just music and credits.

It should end dark. That's a bad idea. If they do show something else, it'll be Vader hunting down the remaining Jedi.

According to some scripts it ends with Owen and Beru looking out at the sunset with baby luke, some scripts it ends with Vader and Emperor and Tarkin watching the construction of the Death Star, and in the Novel the end is Obi-Wan riding off into the desert on his eopie. Any of these endings are excellent. I wouldn't want anything else after them. And if there was anything, i'd leave the theater before then.

I know that it seems the movie will end with [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Obi-Wan handing Luke to Owen and Beru and then riding off into the Tatooine Dessert with the twin suns and everything but still, with this being the end (and I don't think it really messes up continuity if done right), it makes sense to have a kind of "send off" for the saga that leaves people feeling happy. I really doubt most people would care if it ruins the whole "perfect" symmetry of the movies having the exact same style of credits. Even the Lord Of The Rings had a kind of departure in ROTK, flashing the characters as artistic renderings with their real names.

macgeek: check out the soundtrack thread - it was leaked this past weekend.

But this one question remains:

If there is not a sequence, why in the heck are the credits so long for Episode 3? Was there that much more work done on it or that many more people involved with it than Episode 2?

Just because the end was long doesn't mean that will all be used in the final credits. Most of the soundtracks have music that doesn't even make it in the movie.

I've been speculating on this very thing for months now (so even before hearing the soundtrack) but I didn't think it worth opening a thread for.

I think the credits should remain in style with the other films, however I wouldn't mind, after they finished, seeing some nice happy scrappy behind-the-scenes emotional montage of 30 years of SW, or just a nod or farewell of some kind. It would be nice if it didn't start till after the credits, so only die-hards would know of it and wait tosee it.

I remember in 1999 waiting in empty cinema with my brother, just to hear Vader breathing at the end of the credits.

Remember that I compared the Episode 3 soundtrack with the other star wars soundtracks. Their end credits tracks are exactly the way the movies sound. So, based on that evidence, it is likely the credits will be 11 minutes long for Episode 3.

I think that would be cool as well. Having little clips of scenes that take place in between 3 and 4. It still would be dark because of the times. The Rise of the Empire. Showing Leia grow up maybe. All the Jedi will be killed at the Temple but what about those that are across the galaxy doing other things. It could show Vader going after them as well. All cools stuff, we shall see.

Maybe the credits are so long because GL wanted to thank a boat load of people?

If they did have something after the credits it should just be vader and clones.

Just because the track as recorded and featured on the CD is that long, doesn't mean that it will all be used in the film for the credits sequence.

And if they are actually this long, well - I'd put it down to this being GL's last chance to thank everyone who has worked on the saga, before I anticipated an "after credits" sequence...
