"Return of the Jedi": Film vs. Soundtrack

4/4/2014

0 Comments

 
Here is a catalog of comparison between "Return of the Jedi" special edition DVD and accompanying soundtrack. The film timings (hour:minutes:seconds) are listed on the left, with approximate corresponding timings on the soundtrack (disc #, track #, minutes:seconds) on the right.


0:00:00-0:00:22 = D1, T1, 0:00-0:22
Much like "The Empire Strikes Back", in the film the last chord of the opening fanfare is held about a second longer than on the soundtrack. Presumably they used different takes for the film and soundtrack. And I have no idea why.

0:00:22-0:00:29 = no music

0:00:29-0:01:56 = D1, T2, 0:00-1:29

2:02:23-2:03:01 = D2, T10, 0:00-0:24 (the beginning of this is extended somehow, either through edits or a different take - and I suspect the latter)
2:03:01-2:04:33 = D2, T10, 0:51-2:23
2:04:33-2:05:11 = D2, T10, 2:24-3:02

2:05:39-2:06:20 = D2, T10, 4:09-4:49
2:06:20-2:11:28 = D2, T10, 3:25-8:33


Notice how 1:58:35-1:58:56 borrows from The Empire Strikes Back. There are many more "unknown music" passages in Return of the Jedi than in either two previous films, which makes me suspect that maybe some of them are taken from other films and that's why I cannot find them on the Jedi soundtrack.
