"A Hive of Villainy" by John Williams (Score Reduction & Analysis) 

Nothing funny about it considering that the *prequels* come before this movie

I will subscribe and move along

"The comment section. You will never find a more wretched hive of 'first's and neck-beardedness. We must be cautious."

The 2018 remaster is best when it comes to the original trilogy's music. Only 2 issues: not as complete as the 2 CD editions, also there are some production errors (some of the Empire tracks have noise reduction mismatch between left and right, and one channel in The Asteroid Field has too much reverb on it, the track is ruined).

So...it's the best but by far not the best? Lol

because it's used in relation to the force

@@BlazinInfernape But it clearly doesn't represent that. There are tons of times when it's playing and nothing force related is going on.

@@rnhtube Yeah the usage of the force theme indicates something force related. Nothing force related may be going on, so its the usage of that theme that tells us the force is important at that moment. Take the "Binary Sunset" queue for example. The force theme is playing as Luke looks out at the double sunset. Nobody's using the force or anything, but the usage of that theme tells us that the force is guiding Luke. It's not perfect, but that's generally what happens. Most iterations of the force theme that John Williams uses signals that the force is somehow impacting what is being shown. Film music isn't just a reflection of what's going on, it is just as much a part of the movie as the things you see happening.

@@BlazinInfernape How about this- the motif actually represents the concept of destiny, nothing to do with the force (at least not directly). Any time you hear it, think about destiny and see how it's leagues more applicable than just "the force" which is boring. The binary sunset scene could not be any more explicitly about destiny.

@@rnhtube That's an interesting interpretation of the theme, and you're free to see it that way. Actually, I feel it might make more sense that way, given how the prequels used it, but know that pretty much everyone else sees it as a theme for the Force. That's mostly because it was actually originally Obi-Wan Kenobi's theme in the A New Hope, but it gradually changed into the Force theme. Obi-Wan was the audience's only connection to the Force, and with him dead, it seemed like the only logical direction to go in John Williams' mind.
