A personal project of mine, inspired by my favorite Star Wars film, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. I noticed that during the famous climactic fight at the end of the film, John Williams music flawlessly transitions throughout the entire 15 minute fight. However, on all of the official soundtracks, the songs that make up this epic final sequence are often presented segmented and out of order. As a matter of fact, some of the songs used during the fight never got a true wide release. I took it upon myself to take every song that makes up this final sequence, and edit them into one sweeping large scale song, a 14 minute beast that accurately portrays the final fight, while staying true to the film. I took some liberties and cut the silent dialogue heavy bits, such as when Yoda first confronts Emperor Palpatine. Songs used are as follows, in order:

A Path I Can't Follow- 0:00-2:02
Anakin vs. Obi-Wan- 2:02-5:50
Duel of the Fates- 5:50-7:21
The Boys Continue- 7:21-8:52
Battle of the Heroes- 8:52-11:33
The Immolation Scene- 11:33-14:14

Fun Fact: The final fight in Revenge of the Sith is commonly agreed to be the longest sword fight in cinema history, at around 12 minutes long!

    Hello everyone, the release of Obi-Wan Kenobi tonight at 3:01 EST/ 12:01 PT has really been ramping up the engagement with this video! I’m glad you all could enjoy this little video I made for fun a year ago, and I’m so happy that all the Obi-Wan fans like myself are getting the show of their dreams. I want to remind everyone to be respectful to the shows creators and crew, and realize how lucky we are to have the show at all. It’s an honor to count myself as a fan of one of the greatest series of all time. Thank you all for coming by :) 💕 Edit: ONE MILLION VIEWS WHAAAAT You’re all so great. Thank you so much for getting me to this point :
  • Still remember when “Duel of the Fates” hit in the theater… Just this dead silence. Everyone was completely enthralled.

    Can't believe that John Williams is returning at 90 YEARS OLD to bless us with the Obi Wan Kenobi Theme for the upcoming show. Talk about a living fucking LEGEND

    You turned her against me?! You have done that yourself! You will not take her from me! Your anger and your lust for power have already done that. You’ve allowed this Dark Lord to twist your mind, until now, now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy. Don’t lecture me Obi-Wan. I see thru the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the dark side as you do. I have brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my new Empire. Your new Empire?? Don’t make me kill you. Anakin, my allegiance is to the Republic! To democracy! If you’re not with me. Then you’re my enemy. Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must. You will try.

    One of the best stories I heard about John Williams is when asked by Steven Spielberg to make music for Schillers List, he was shown the test screens without music, and left in tears. He then apparently turned to Steven and said. "I can't compose this, to do it justice you need the best musician in the world." Steven turned to him and said. "I would get them, but all the best musicians in history are dead." Implying that John Williams is the best Musician alive.

    The thing about John Williams's music, although EXTREMELY potent at conjuring up images and scenes from Star Wars, can also extend into history. Historic battles, epic battles, the soul of humanity in any galaxy. His music transcends time.

    Don't get me wrong, I like Duel of the Fates, but Battle of the Heroes is absolutely top-notch legendary.
  • This should have fucking gotten an Academy Award. The fact it didn't even get a nomination is a crime against humanity

    When your best friend is on the opposite team during dodgeball:
  • @Windyyyyyyyyy
    This scene, no matter how many times you watch it, will put you on the rollercoaster of emotions.
  • 5:50 The transition into Duel of The Fates will forever go down as the best moment in cinema history
  • @kylebaryonyx9478
    You know a film is well-scored when you can listen to just the music and track exactly what's happening in the scene without a single line of dialogue, sound effect, or frame from the film. Just the music and my mind can replay the entire fight
  • Anakin v Obi Wan and Yoda v Sidious. Are the greatest fights in the saga. The stakes at risk, the emotion, the forces clashing in a violent storm as the world crumbles around them. We might never see another battle like this again.
  • @Jbarbs2100
    I love the fact that when I’m hearing this mix i can visualize the movie
  • I remember watching this battle as a child. I wasn't sad at all, I was in awe Now, after watching The Clone Wars it destroys me every single time I watch it. I can't help it. I get in tears each time
  • In this 14 minutes there is more action and excitement then in all of the sequels
  • @willpoweramv
    Never delete this please. It's the ultimate version.
