Intrada Soundtrack Forum

Hey everyone, now before you all start flaming me about not liking Star Wars or anything, that's not what this thread is about. I have a problem with the soundtrack release of the current form of John Williams' Return of the Jedi. The current soundtrack that has been released numerous times from 1997 has several missing cues that were in the original version of the movie, but got rescored by Williams for the first SE's of the movies. What I'm talking about are; the Ewok song "Yub Nub" which is at the end of the movie, and the "Funeral Pyre for a Jedi" (or "Light of the Force") cue. I love the old versions of those cues, not the ones that are on the current soundtracks.

I would like to know, have the movie versions of those cues been released? If so, which album are they both on?

You're in the wrong section but...

They've all been perfectly available for almost 20 years now on the 1994 4 CDs set anthology.
Note that the film version of Ewok's Celebration with the adult chorus (and not the Ewoks chant) and Funeral Pyre for a Jedi (film version) are only available on the 1994 anthology set on the bonus 4th CD.



There's a special concert rendition of Jabba the Hutt's theme and the songs Lapti Nek and Ewok's Celebration (ewoks chant version) of course. They were part of the original 1983 album as well, but not included on the SE 1997 set.

You're quite welcome!
You just offended a hord of angry hamsters, that's all! XD
