Return of the Jedi OST - 02. Into The Trap

The Original Album from 1983
Music Composed and Conducted by John Williams

[@deelofilms]

I can still hear Lando: "How could they be jamming us.. if they don't know we're coming...."

[@redlion517]

"Pull up! ALL CRAFT PULL UP!!!!!!"

[@3ggh3ad]

ITS A TRAP!!!

[@JessFromMead]

+Arthur Robinson ITS A TRAP!

[@codyprojects2888]

+Jesse Billingsley Lando: Fighters coming in

[@codyprojects2888]

+Jesse Billingsley Lieutenant Telsij: There's too many of them

[@ericshawn3169]

Third Act of Return of the Jedi is flawless

[@GreedosGun]

Indeed very suspenseful

[@baiwatch1]

The plan goes completely wrong.

[@jjrj8568]

Like Temple of Doom; a promising first act, a puzzling second one, and then 35 final minutes of glory.

[@spigotsandcogs]

Green Leader: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" *everything explodes*

[@lancecurry7538]

You forgot Commander Gherant yelling "TOO LATE!"

[@javierlopez9789]

Ackbar proceeds to look happy for a moment then frowns

[@rotyler2177]

As the movie switches to Ackbars ship you can hear someone in the background saying 'die dickhead.'

[@Green-ne5dn]

I got confused as I thought I commented on here already, and my username was not intended as a homage to arvel crynyd

[@Robert_Douglass]

@@rotyler2177 Which time? Cause I remember the shot cutting back and forth between Ackbar's vessel and numerous scenes in the battlespace.

[@FreGZile]

It's incredible how good John Williams is to illustrate what's going on with music, the tension, the action, the protagonists, every single note speaks to you like a character! masterpiece.

[@djstrongarmgmail]

anTenorfr it helped that he had good material to work with...which is why the soundtrack to the last jedi is such a blring mess.

[@drybowserman9091]

I felt like Ackbar saying 'May the Force be with Us' was a lot more memorable than 'IT'S A TRAP!'

[@madisonatteberry9720]

For it was that 'sigh' he gave when the SSD was going down.

[@excrono]

@@madisonatteberry9720Everyone on the bridge was celebrating but Akbar felt the gravity of what just happed. So many lives lost.

[@rotyler2177]

​@@excronoclose to 250,000. Fun fact: The death stars orbit pulled the drifting SSD into it leading to its destruction.

[@kylgrv]

Lando: All wings report in. Wedge: Red Leader standing by. Gray Leader: Gray Leader standing by. Green Leader: Green Leader standing by. Wedge: Lock S-Foils into attack positions. Admiral Ackbar: May the force be with us.

Not a trap. It's awesome.

[@Crackuser69]

Lol

[@heusniet]

Endor Space battle. Best space battle of every movie ever. And it's 30 years old. STEP UP YOUR GAME MOVIE DIRECTORS!

[@myriadmediamusings]

Jorge González Rivera Indeed, Rogue One’s Scarif space battle did a damn good job in recapturing that space battle feel. Can be a legit challenge to Endor as the best one.

[@DartLuke]

Expanse have one of the best space battles in Sci-fi

[@rebelfriend9006]

@@myriadmediamusings yeah but I fell like Endor holds up more because it’s still stunning and is that much older has more emotional weight and less cgi

[@natspencer174]

@@rebelfriend9006 Yeah the Battle of Endor rocks I love Return of the Jedi.

[@atomzero1]

Amen brother, maybe my favorite scene in all of cinema!

[@isodifbrakiul6387]

after years of off and on searching i finally found where the Rebel Alliance theme from Galactic Battlegrounds came from. 1:03 - 1:09

[@TheMoppinRaccoon]

+Isodif Brakiul Same! Too bad its that short!

[@lodown505]

the best part of the song!

[@angellohector]

reminds me a bit of wagner for some reason. love it

[@ZeldaFan940]

they need an extended version i was thinking the same thing :P

[@HSchristian117]

I heard it in SW: Battlefront 1, in the PS2

[@hbilha]

I love how this track gets you pumped up, then anxious and then Panic mode! Brilliant

[@boxerreb]

It calls to mind a bullfight, the Rebels as the matador vs. the Imperial bull. It sets up the Endor battle perfectly, and it's the little things like that why John Williams is the true Maestro.

[@TheBurgerHut7]

This music is some of the best ever written

[@broncojedi3676]

"WE HAVE NO CHOICE GENERAL CALLISRIAN ARE CRUISERS CAN'T REPEL FIREPOWER OF THAT MAGNITUDE".

Great idea!

[@plastique45]

"Admiral Ackbar! Sensors indicate you're being turned into a meme, sir!" "... IT'S A TRAP!"

[@FreGZile]

2 seconds since it started, already chills down my spine... Theres a few poeple on this planet that can give you so much with so little!

[@DC05570]

I play this track on repeat for my weekday commutes between home and work and vice versa... it’s a great motivator driving in LA traffic😜

[@rotyler2177]

enemy cars in Section 47!!

[@ComposerConductor]

John Williams brought so much old school 1930s type of music back to Hollywood at a time when scores were reduced to far less large orchestral groups. Props to such a legendary composer.

[@jediking12]

That blast came from my stereo! That song is oprational!

[@clonewarsfan1001]

John Williams is very good at this type of music.

[@primevideopaidsearchteam4949]

1:03 'bout time this beast of a tune made an appearance in the new trilogy.

[@adkvoltz]

1:53 "All craft take evasive action! Green group, stick close to sector --" "Admiral, we have enemy ships in Sector 3/7" "It's a trap!"

[@class87fan54]

"Fighters coming in!" (TIE Fighters and TIE Interceptors swarm in on the Rebel ships.)

[@kylgrv]

"There's too many of them!" "Accelerate to attack speed. Draw their fire away from the cruisers."

[@class87fan54]

"Copy Gold leader."

[@gregkirby1890]

Lando "Only the ships are attacking, I wonder what the star destroyers are waiting for?"

Probably had to pay a micro transaction to join in :P!

[@XXLSSBBW]

Imperial officer 1: We're in attack position now Admiral. Admiral: Hold here. Imperial officer 2: We're not going to attack? Admiral: I have my orders from the Emperor himself. He says he has something 'special' planned. We only have to keep them from escaping. Emperor: As you can see my young apprentice your fleet has lost. Now witness the fire power of this fully armed and operational battle station. Fire at will commander. Commander: FIRE!

[@Bandido894]

2:23 Fighters coming in! ti-th-ti-thi (Extremely frequent TIE-fighter laser fire) My favourite part as a kid.

[@angellohector]

hail King Williams

[@class87fan54]

"It's a trap!"

[@rotyler2177]

IT'S A WRAP.

[@voltz15]

Yeah i remember when Lando says "Fighters coming in!" and the screen was just flooded with Tie fighters all over the place. Holy moly, we're really deep into this now!

[@xhango1313]

I love it when I'm playing star wars battlefront 2 and I hear this song while having a space battle, makes it feel like i'm actually in the star wars universe.

[@BrightOranje]

John Williams never ceases to amaze!

[@stevelucky7579]

1:54 when you realize your in the trap

[@cr4yv3n]

"We have to get a reading UP or DOWN ?" **jibberish** "But how could they be jamming us if they don't know....that we're coming..." ( oh crap moment! )

[@REAPERAPO]

It's a trap!!!

[@Minesteve07]

John Williams again: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tehShikari]

I remember watching it last night in my bed with myself, and to be honest, the battle above Endor was one of the most awesome things I have ver seen in my life!

[@madisonatteberry9720]

This music plays in my head when it's the holidays and I have to way though all the people and that one scene plays, "HERE THEY COME!" "THERE'S TOO MANY OF THEM!"

[@Nicksolo85]

1:03 Lando Calrissian: "All wings report in." Wedge Antilles: "Red Leader standing by." Grey Leader (Y Wing Pilot): "Grey Leader standing by." Green Leader (A Wing Pilot): "Green Leader standing by." Wedge Antilles: "Lock S Foils in attack position." Admiral Ackbar: "May the Force be with us." Nein Nunb: (speaks in his language) Lando Calrissian: "We gotta get some kind of reading on that shield, up or down."

[@harwickbranch]

Probably my favorite track in the film

[@grumbeard]

Ahh I remember seeing the original trilogy as a 6 year old kid on the lap of my father. The space battle above Endor? It was one of the most awesome things I have ever seen in my life.

[@Leon-Hardt]

01:53 THAT BRASS BASS!

[@jeffreyarnold627]

I remember getting this on vinyl way back in the 1980s. At that exact spot on the album, it would actually cause the needle to jump and it would skip!

[@skelz0r73]

The Battle of Endor is just epic. Would love to see it with updated effects

Best quote along with the best theme.

[@Tdesparza]

You shit is about to hit the fan when this starts playing in the background.

[@angelx73]

this is an excellent song of war, armada or ready for the battle. I use it to go at work and confront all the obstacles.

[@myriadmediamusings]

Funny story for me, I remember this track mostly from the Rebel Assault II game as this plays in the first TIE Interceptor level. I kept getting stuck and so this track stuck with me for years.

[@noheroespublishing1907]

One of the best musical buildups to a conflict in cinematic history!

[@LoyalPadme]

Damn you, Sheldon Cooper, I can't see Admiral Ackbar without thinking of you..."IT'S A TRAP!" :)

[@XXLSSBBW]

[@Turambar3791]

I love this track.

[@carloschristanio4709]

"Commander we got enemy ships in sector 47" Akbar " I need a new fish bowl"

[@FalkorStranix]

"..we'll last longer then against that death star!"

[@ViennAnakin]

i only came here to finally say *IT`S A TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP*

[@assemblyrequired7342]

As much as I love Star Trek, at the very least even Operation Return (DS9; Sacrifice of the Angels) wasn't as much of an epic pivotal battle as this, or the battles in ROTS, simply because of the music playing in the background.

[@silentartist7854]

that, and the special effects for the space battles in star wars was amazingly well done for it's time. Fighters, cruisers and ships all over the place giving that really epic feel of shit's about to go down.

[@LoyaFrostwind]

The best space battle in all of movie history, IMHO.

[@Gigas0101]

at least the cruisers in Operation Return opened fire. Mon-Cal ships never fired a single shot in the movie.

[@jacktheflash8478]

Gigas0101 technology was limited at the time
