[@michaelgadsby]

I'm just imagining what George Lucas must have felt when he heard this for the first time in the late 90s. This makes you feel the Force, the malice coursing through Maul's veins like a firestorm, and the struggle of the two valiant men barely able to keep him at bay. The change, especially at 2:12, is like a huge camera swing through the arc of destiny. You just feel almost drunk hearing this, it's just pure drama, marvellous stuff.

[@davyjones5068]

Well, he's the one with imagination. Of course, he whos requested John to makes the theme feels majestic duel of fates, action pumping, infinite climatic. Its not likes he has to wait which to choose and which to listen in the first place. Its already have been ordered to. Not wait for a dozen of pieces to try to compares and listen. :/

[@michaelgadsby]

@@davyjones5068 Indeed :)

[@finnorourke4861]

The best part I think from a musical perspective is the construction and deconstruction of the piece. The first time it get's reconstructed, an oboe solo comes with a bassoon counter melody of the theme, then it rapidly builds upon itself with the rest of the orchestra adding tons of intensity. Then the dissonant key change at 3:40 just sets up a crumble after an unestablished triplet measure for the second reconstruction. There is a lot more going on but it's just a fantastic progression that can tell a story within itself.

[@kabyabanerjee7858]

This fight is what seals Anakin's fate right there.. This fight is what seals the fate of both the Jedi and the Sith.. This fight is what changes the course of history. I am pretty sure George told all of this to John and John did what he does best. He killed it.

[@keeganseva3975]

​@UCfD9vHNB5Hijav9wJiYwycw Per Spielberg, John Williams is shown a completed movie, sans music... then he goes to town, creating these beautiful masterpieces. So I'm sure it was similar with George Lucas. So you are correct. No choosing the music. Williams makes the soundtrack and then everyone's socks are knocked off listening to it for the first time haha (and every time afterwards)

[@shiblamo1002]

Holy shit I’ve never thought about it this way: The vocals are the dark side fighting the light side instruments. They get louder together like a duel. Idk if I’m really high but this was cool to me

[@jamesdevlin813]

@Veider222 I'm fairly certain OP had it correct the first time, when Darth Maul stabs Qui Gon (tear jerker for my main man Liam Neeson) is when the Choir peaks and the Orchestra fall flat (3:42). Not trying to be rude friend.

[@JacktheRah]

The movie is 90 % crap and 10 % gold. Maul is a cool foe (though only really through the following spinoffs which gave him more of a character) and the music is great as always. I honestly think that this piece of music is the best thing the entire Prequels brought us. It's such a great piece of music. Incredible.

[@mergomezhervas840]

This is probably the most dramatic song ever composed. Literally every second you can feel the intensity and power slowly slowly rise until it's a full on cascade of strength. Truly a masterpiece, John Williams is a musical genius

[@NoisyBones]

Maximillian FoxI like how the voices and the instruments (mostly the horns) are kinda the two combatants, they even seem to be trading blows from 2:05 to 2:15. They are really recreating a battle between to opponents with only music.

[@theeepmek1029]

Lemming Bot Like a lot of the parts in Star Wars, this theme is a dualism and battle of two sides. Just like you said. Although I associate this more with the actual rise of the sith.

[@AkumaMasurao]

Thee Epmek So could this song possibly be how the prequels were intended to be seen? A quiet beginning, but you know there's something more going on too until it reaches a dark, dramatic, and bloody turmoil filled conclusion. Intention and execution might not have matched up in the end, but still.

[@theeepmek1029]

***** Yes, to some extent. The real story of Star Wars turned out to be Anakins fall from grace and the rise and defeat of the empire/siths. This song embodies the duel of the primeval dualisms, and its victor. In my opinion that is =)

[@nicoferguson1215]

Thee Epmek i agree, but they though, i guess, they had to start at the VERY beginning, which, in my humble opinion, was way too slow and painful a grind

Leche de caballo ohh absolutely, hit the nail on the head. All music is of course down to our personal preference. For me the prequels resonate as I grew up watching them and have always preferred them to the OT.
