I loved the original <\/span>Star Wars<\/i> trilogy as I was growing up, and I still adore the first two films in particular. (The third has its moments, but only moments.) The prequels, on the other hand, have been an overblown bore, and Lucas has shown a remarkable ability to elicit very bad performances from otherwise good actors.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the one thing that has remained remarkably good across the entire series has been John Williams\u2019s music. And now comes <\/span>this<\/a><\/i> bit of news:<\/span><\/p>\n

The soundtrack CD of John Williams\u2019 score for Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith<\/span> will be accompanied by a special 70-minute DVD, Star Wars: A Musical Journey<\/span>, when it is released on May 3, Sony Classical announced Tuesday. The DVD will feature Williams conducting excerpts from his Star Wars <\/span>scores behind 16 \u201cmusic videos\u201d compiled from all six films that will include original dialogue and sound effects. Each \u201cmovement,\u201d will be introduced by Ian McDiarmid, who plays Senator Palpatine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds grand! It almost sounds like they\u2019re taking a cue (no pun intended) from all the bonus-DVD treatment that <\/span>The Lord of the Rings<\/span>\u2018 Howard Shore got.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
