You can get some prequel sounds here and there

Weird that one of my top five Star Wars pieces wasn't even made by John Williams.

One of the best

Ive played this music swapping out soundtrack from Jedi Knight Dark Forces 2 to make the fight between Kyle Katarn and Jerec 10 times more epic than it already is in the valley of the jedi. It even fits with kyle katarn fighting jerec

2:34 Dash’s theme

This one always reminded me of Prokofiev, but with Chewbacca.

I used to have track 10 of the CD play on loop! Thanks for the fun share.

I played Dark Forces II for the first time lately and it reminded me how much I loved Shadows as a kid. I miss old Star Wars :(

The symbolism of SOTE's cover was pretty straightforward - Luke stuck between Vader and Xizor, with the looming presence of Sidious on the backdrop. He's the grand overseer of galactic events, at a distance from the main action until Episode VI. But, 5 years later, there's so much more than that. Luke finds himself between 2 unemotional figures, Vader is hidden from the eye by his solemn mask, and Xizor has learned to control his emotions and gestures to perfection. As the reptilian Falleen have the ability to do. For separate reasons, both the 'villains' are intransingent, while Luke is the only one showing emotion, with an expression that screams 'uncertainty' and taking a battle stance. He is the clandestine presence in an underground arena of the Dark Side and political intrigue. Each man takes a different interest in Luke. But the rivalry between the 2, and Palpatine almost looking at the winner to be his definitive right hand, gives this layout an unexpected anxiety. Masterful

This is a great theme.

If I were a star wars character, I'd want a song like this.

that imperial march at 1:29 is so powerfully good. Also as a Scot I love that this soundtrack was by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. never heard of them, just cool they're scottish lol

3:55 - 6:24

Xizor's theme is absolutely amazing, and dare I say on par with even John Williams themes. You can actually hear the malice, arrogance, flamboyancy and sexuality of the character, and it hits the nail right on the head. Simply outstanding. Damn you Disney for sorting this masterpiece out!

The only sewer levels I ever liked were in the TMNT games.

Imagine hearing this in The Book of Boba Fett

5:38-6:24

This is a Masterpiece

Vader suppressing Anakin. If you read the book, you will know.

3:30 onward is when you fight Darth Vader with no help.

Disney could never hope to match this, which is why they jettisoned this from canon.

If the music for Star Wars had been by Jerry Goldsmith, this is what it would have sounded like.

I used to listen to this soundtrack while reading the Darth Bane trilogy and for some reason, the part starting at 5:45 got imprinted in my head with the vision of Bane on Ciutric IV looking across the horizon. After all that he had been through, all that he'd overcome and achieved, for the first time he feels the effects of aging as a slight tremor in his hand... a weakness.

I owned this soundtrack before the prequels came out. I remember hearing this track as a kid and feeling that it did not at all sound like anything associated with the Empire. Thinking of musical themes such as those for Vader and the Emperor, I could not imagine this piece as being attributed to the center of their power. I always sounded to me more like a song that would be used in 1950's cinema for a scene in Egypt or something.

“I bowed and scraped to every one of Lord Vader's demands. They couldn't have found a more amenable business partner." "Or a more dangerous enemy.”

“They’re getting away!”

Always think of the gurgling of the jet pack running low

I love this score but 3:57 is a blatant rip off of Maurice Ravel - Daphnis et Chloé at the 29:10 mark. See for yourself ruclips.net/video/sYNlYMvFA5U/видео.html.

Joel McNeely should have been given a chance to breathe new life to the sequel trilogy soundtrack, and the Expanded Universe stories should have been used for the sequels. Sadly with Ms. Fisher passing, the chance is long gone. Also, world building was not existent in the new flicks. It is like the creativity started to erode with subsequent trilogies. RIP Lucasarts

Spiker and big Gizz.

The mandalorian should use some of these passages

1:22 "Captain Rendar... you have been a persistent thorn in my side, not to mention a most disruptive uninvited guest at my Palace."

Shadows of the Empire most under rated story from the EU.

Jesus Christ, this is bad. Shrill, repetitive shrieking, that's what I want in my music

Joels score for this is perhaps the greatest pieces of music on par with john williams. Grossly underrated

Mr. Sunday Movies brought me here! Great theme! The reminds me of something from 'Indiana Jones'.

Speeder bike chase full speed loved it

3:00 is what I remember

3:00 onward is terrific, funny enough, I feel like it's just as perfect for a theme for Ken Ichijouji as the Digimon Kaiser in Digimon Adventure 02.

We used to sing “Burn into a ball of flame!” While flying through the skyhook. This really bridges the music from RotJ to TPM with the vocals.

Wish it was still canon. 💜💜

4:17

Such an amazing soundtrack... for a character wiped out of canon. What are they thinking?

Qué gran atmósfera

N64?

Awesome!

Any Hal9000 fans here?

The music is great but the level is horrid.

Jesus Christ this is so masterful... Ima cry

First time I heard this I could have sworn it was John Williams. It's so Star Wars!!
