Triumphant brass heralds their arrival where they are greeted by Senator Palpatine. Anakin is freed, and after a skirmish with Darth Maul, Qui-Gon has everyone set out for Coruscant. The second disc starts to get a bit darker. Dark percussion and whisper chanting (as well as the evil Emperor's Theme) accompany Darth Maul and Darth Sidious. Lush strings softly accompany Anakin's Theme. Harsh militaristic brass heralds the Trade Federations invasion of Naboo. Thematically, the score hits every genre. The first disc follows the adventures of Qui-Gon and Obi Wan as they battle the Trade Federation droids, meet Jar Jar, rescue Queen Amidala, head to Tatooine, meet Anakin Skywalker, and free him in an exciting pod-race. The resulting music is smooth and pleasurable to listen to. Sound effects tend to be used to cover musical edits, and since we don't have sound effects on this album, additional massaging was probably in order. If this album were edited exactly as it was in the film, it would be choppy. Those people are probably upset that 2 measures of music are missing from a particular cue, and don't really have any idea as to how music gets edited to begin with. Some people out there might be upset that it's not every single note, or that it's edited more or less the same way that the score was edited in the film - but that's not anything to worry about. Containing over 120 minutes of music spanning two CDs, this album is filled with almost every bit of music in the film. So now comes the Star Wars: The Phantom Menace - The Ultimate Edition Soundtrack. Last month, they completed filming the next film in the prequel trilogy, and this month (for some reason) the original trilogy is being re-released on VHS (for the 200th time). A year and a half ago, moviegoers were finally able to see the new Star Wars film.
