Here we go with My final
Original Trilogy showcase before I begin the highly anticipated
Prequels so here is My set of the
2004 OT Movies Soundtracks/Scores that has their
20th Anniversary this year
These are remastered and has every note that
John Williams wrote for the entire trilogy compared to the totally awesome
1993 SW Fox Anthology Set I showcased last year. This is because this is based from the
97 Special Edition so many new tracks has been included for the first time ever and if your a
Movie Score buff like Me then you know how important & fun that can be. However many cues has been altered and changed for those new additional scenes & material. Now when I bought these about 2 decades ago already I didn't get the same feeling about it as I did for My special
Fox Anthology 93 Set. Was it because it was it part of the
Special Editions because much had changed or times were just changing in general and in My life which I hate change (if your a Capricorn you know how you despise it!!!) but really I think it was a little bit of all the above. Now you just saw My grand showcase of My
2008 Indiana Jones Score Set. While
Concord went all out for that special yet Nation-wide regular release,
Sony Classical went pretty far too and keep in mind that this came out 4 years prior. So all three
Scores has a
Holographic Cover which is actually a
Sticker that is placed on the
front of the
Jewel Case but still has an actual
booklet. They all sport
2 Compact Discs each that is interactive with
PCs and the
Booklets becoming
Fold-Out Posters. Here we go with My Showcase
Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope. You see that this has a cool great looking
Holographic Cover.
Here's the great looking
CDs with
Luke Skywalker & Lord Darth Vader. Both
Discs are close to an hour.
Here's the
Booklets/Posters.
Here's a close up of all of the
tracks.
Here's the
Orchestra credits. Notice the
recording dates of 1977 & 1996. Like I said in My very special showcase of My
Watch the Skies Compilation Soundtrack.Score in My all-crucial
Odds & Ends that I love it when they give info like that. Also notice that
Lionel Newman is the
Score Supervisor which he is
Alfred's brother, he composed the theme/fanfare for the
20th Century Fox Logo which this was huge back in the day
Here's the
back Cover of the
Jewel Case Star Wars Episode 5: The Empire Strikes Back You see that this has a cool
Holographic Cover and this is arguably the coolest of them all just like the movie score and the film themselves
The
inside is superb looking. Any
SW should want this and if they don't I don't know why
Both
CDs are magnificent with
Boba Fett & Darth Vader on them. Both are slightly over an hour which goes by so fast
Here's the
Booklet/Poster along with the
Cue list Again I love that they have the dates of the recording on here and
Lionel Newman is the
Supervisor once again
Here's the
back Cover of the
Jewel Case which looks very good with them
AT-AT Walkers on
Hoth Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi. Gosh this looks so cool.
ROTJ always looked good
The
inside of the
Jewel Case is decent with pictures of
Luka & Leia & Emperor Palpatine on the
CDs Each of these
CDs is well over
an hour in length at being 73 minutes & 74 minutes plus which is great
Here's the super
Booklet fold-out Poster and this one is really neat plus the
Track List Here's the
credits list along with those important
recording dates and once more
Lionel Newman is the
Scoring Supervisor which again this was quite big during this time. You know how legendary
John Williams is now
Well
Newman had his own legacy back then so it was an honor for a younger composer to work with him
Here's the
back of the
Jewel Case which is pretty good
Here's the
LucasFilm & Sony Classical 2004 Copyright cause like I always say, those are important and oh...
George Lucas produced all three of these wonderful versions
SPECIAL GALLERY!Here they are together with My
Shadows of the Empire Score that I showcased before a while back here within this very fine Topic of Mine. I did this because it was still canon in
2004 and would be until the very bittersweet
Disney-Takeover which while many plebeians are going gaga over
Disney's SW era and not thinking of how great
SW was before,
SOTE was such a great event being the first ever
multi-media project ever of it's kind and nothing has been like it since yest there's so much little about it besides such a few amount of people like Myself which again you can see much of it within My Topic...still this is arguably the greatest
SW Score ever IMO
Now here's My three
SW Soundtracks with
SOTE and My special
1993 SW Fox Anthology together. Still IMO the
93 Fox Edition is My favorite and I recommend it to anyone who loves classic
SW and appreciates exciting
soundtracks/scores. I mean this was the first time ever they were released
SW on
Compact Disc and each
CD runs
73 minutes + which was quite impressive for that time during the
90s and that
fourth Bonus Disc is still the funnest
SW feature IMO. I put the
1993,1996 & 2004 Copyrights on My picture because as I always say it's very imperative to check out those
Copyrights to check when & who made it and this goes for ALL collectibles which I've doing this since I was a youngster yet so few people heed this, even the experts don't even say how important this is
This is such an exciting display and I'm proud (not the way this w0ke generation says & thinks of the word) & thankful to have it
Wow, I hope you liked that special showcase of My
20th Anniversary of My
2004 Star Wars Original Trilogy Scores. Next I will have a unique bonus that nobody will expect. It's not
Star Wars but it is
Lucas and yes it's something that hardly anybody ever talks about anymore which I really dislike as I'm trying make things not fall in further limbo in this modern age. Until that presentation arrives, I'll see you around
