Star Wars

 
Currently Listening
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Anakin Vs. Obi-wan

Ok, I never was very impressed with Star Wars; thematically it was horrible (very New Age and diametrically opposite to a solid biblical worldview) and that pretty much killed it for me.  It had a dark, oppressive feel from its deep brooding on evil.  But I will give George Lucas this: he hired one of the best score-writers ever.  The Star Wars soundtrack is one of the my all time favorite movie soundtracks – John Williams wrote some amazing music, for example the Star wars theme or “Anakin vs. Obi-wan” (the backdrop to a pretty amazing swordfight and one of the very few scenes possibly worth seeing).  I know my dyed-in-the-wool Star Wars fan friends at this point will be screaming about special effects and graphics and these were stunning.  It was rather interesting to see the fact that anger, bitterness and hatred were becoming so deeply a part of Anakin clearly symbolized in his hardening facial expression over the course of Revenge of the Sith (you can tell pretty well just by looking at his face where you are in the story), and, of course, General Grievous was hysterically funny.  But I have to ask, why not just listen to the soundtrack and call that enough?  That gives you nearly all the benefits (certainly the most notable ones without the significant drawbacks.

 

Just thought I’d put down some quick thoughts on this issue, that popped to mind as I listened to the awesome soundtrack on the way to school.

Nice. I've never heard the soundtrack by itself (just with the movies).

The score is great, true, but do you know that George Lucas told the composer that he wanted it to have the same sound as the epic: Ben-Hur? Try listening to THAT score and you will be inspired! (The movie is also better, even Christian!)
