1:58. The song is crying, showing us that’s no hope for Han Solo, no tricks. he’s gonna get frozen and possibly die! Show the emotions that Leia is felling so are we at the audience. Powerful moment!
Just look at the comments below and you'll see people tag their favorite parts from literally EVERY MINUTE of this 11-minute piece and you'll understand how special this composition by John Williams is.
I know that the ost of Star Wars 4 is iconic, but 5 & 6 have incredible depth and development on the music of A New Hope. Hoth, the asteroid field, cloud city, carbon freeze, boba fett, rebel rendezvous, battle of endor...some of my earliest experiences with dense and polytonal textures. 20 years and two music degrees later it's all just as good.
UKStarWarsFan 140 Yes it is, battlefront 2 from 2005 was much better. The only thing I like from battlefront EA was the music cues.(which you could find in any battlefront truthfully)
Lmao I get Lego Star Wars 2: The OG trilogy flashbacks since I had that one from 2006-2009 on PS2 until I finally got the complete saga for ps3 in 2009.
You must to Watch the trailer of episode 3 is very epic, when you finish the trailer, back to this video and tell me your opinión I dont speak english jeje
@@diergod857 Yes I know that trailer well. I was one of the nerds who recorded it on a tape and then watched it over and over again. And it does indeed work great for the trailer.
When I was a kid, I would re-wind this part and listen to it over and over and over again .... the haunting juxtaposition of menace and cautious hope really seemed to resonate in my teen years .... probably my all-time favorite iteration of the Force Theme.
A great musical storytelling moment that sadly was cut from the film...at least we have it here unlike all the cut prequel music that Disney won't release
Best scene in all of Star Wars, best music in all of Star Wars. Still get chills when Han gets frozen and the sinister masks of Vader and Fett looking over him in the vapour. Creativity firing on all cylinders.
first time I read the Trawn Trilogy, I was listening to random Star Wars music and during the twins birth 1:25 started for Jaina and 1:57 started for Jacen, it was so eerie knowing the future.
i cant get enoughh of the carbon freeze part, and the sense of evil from vader, when the steam clears and darth vader stares evilly as han is frozen in carbonite. this movie gives such a rush of emotions and still maks you feel good at the end, giving hope to the audience, even in the most heartbreaking time. i love star wars. i love the republic. i love democracy. this just turned into a quote lol
Jackson Bell I’ve been searching for this for ages. Yesterday I decided that I will find it in 24hours. Well, spotify didnt want me to have it so I listened to whole soundtracks from a new hope and empire. Well here we are
"Well done. Hold them in the security tower, and keep it quiet. Move!" My favorite part of this piece, along with the carbon freezing melody (I am a hopeless romantic).
This is some of the most musically-intelligent and sonically-interesting stuff in the whole Star Wars music catalog. Not a lot of other cues from the series include harp, prepared piano and gongs. I come back to this more than any other Star Wars music,
1:58 "To the one called Maw: a bitter individual that loathes all and holds loyalty to few. A strong and formidable foe. For every cord of muscle, there is hatred. It is this hate that keeps his aging body strong"
6:07 good old memories of playing Lego Star Wars the original trilogy on my ps2 with my little sister who at the time was too little to understand how to play and I'd get mad at her xDD good ol' days. Complete saga as well!
4:12 this fragment still haunts me! it was also played in Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight when you were trying to sneak in to Jerec's Dark Tower at Baron's Head.
No joke, but I imagined Robert Patrick, who portrayed the T-1000 terminator in Terminator: Judgement Day as an Imperial officer with the theme at 4:16, probably an army lieutenant or captain. His character would retain his American accent, since some Imperial officers were known to have an informal Galactic Basic accent (American), while others like Tarkin and the stereotypical Imperial had the formal (English) accent. Patrick would retain the same sour, intimidating look he used as the T-1000 in Terminator. When I looked at an image of him on Google Images in the LAPD uniform he's famous for, I imagined what he would be like as an officer. Like Captain Bewil who was the officer that infomed Lord Vader that Skywalker landed on Bespin, while the music at 4:16 was playing in the movie. This is where I got the idea of associating Robert Patrick with this music, or even the T-1000 from Terminator with this music. And boy, this would be an anxiety-chilling theme for the liquid-metal human-appearing robot, even as the dreary haunting theme actually used for the T-1000 is disturbing enough as it is (to portray that terminator's fearsome presence).
Stephanie Loverde I don’t think much was changed from the original iTunes version to the remastered. As far as I can remember this piece, minus the last few minutes, was always missing. The only difference among all the scores that I noticed was that augie’s municipal from ep 1 sounds way worse.
My absolute favorite track from all the films, second closest to this is probably Asteroid Field, Binary Sunset, and the tracks from Rogue One "Your Father Would Be Proud" and "Hope".
6:34 Love the foreboding version of the Yoda theme. All Yoda's warnings of grave danger have lead to this pivotal choice that Luke must make whether to follow his friends into the dark unknown and still makes a final plea. 6:45 You must not go! 6:51 TOO LATE!!!

Slightly silly comment... Darth Vader unknowingly lived the dream of overprotective fathers by putting his daughter’s boyfriend in carbonite.
This is one GREAT comment 😄😄😄

8:27 That specific part has been Boba Fett's theme for me.
Battlefront makes is the connotation for me.
For me it was Shadows Of The Empire, when you meet Boba Fett for the first time that specific theme always played.
Same here! Shadows of the Empire was a great game!
Yeah for me id say 7:50
"Put solo in the cargo hold" :)
+ZackyArt *captain solo
4:42 As a trombonist, myself, I can say that playing that must've been a nightmare.
Maybe he used valve trombone or a tuba/euph combo

Just about every video featuring the "Empire Strikes Back" soundtrack has these comments. It was a great narrative with a great soundtrack.
Underrated comment. And while it could apply to Williams' score for this saga, it's especially true here.
I know that the ost of Star Wars 4 is iconic, but 5 & 6 have incredible depth and development on the music of A New Hope.
Hoth, the asteroid field, cloud city, carbon freeze, boba fett, rebel rendezvous, battle of endor...some of my earliest experiences with dense and polytonal textures. 20 years and two music degrees later it's all just as good.

The French horn part here will always be the most inspirational excerpt Ive ever heard from a brass player

4:52 to 5:35 most beautiful part for me!
Totally drawn by this part and love it too. Reminded me of the Funeral March by Chopin.
@@sriley231 it was for Chopin wasn’t it?
I thought I was alone, that was my fave bit too when Luke is going along the corridors chasing the convoy.
Yes!!
For me too
"Put Captain Solo in the cargo hold." - Boba Fett, 'The Empire Strikes Back. '
I really love 7:33
I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about it.
Yes, it’s slower than 4:52 but really like that theme too.
BOBA FETT
It’s almost a play on the death march, maybe we can call it the the death watch.
I came here for this specific part😂
That part will always be Boba Fett’s theme for me

Boba Fett theme song
John Williams is a genious
+Imhazardous I think I may have had enough Star Wars for today, I read that as Geonosis... Nah never too much Star Wars.
Posh Dan That was brilliant
Yeah, this was him in his prime it was, wasn't it?
10:58 is my favorite part, I feel like it's a more menacing version of Binary Sunset mixed with Yoda's theme
By far the most beautiful part to this piece. Amazing John Williams!
When I was a kid, I would re-wind this part and listen to it over and over and over again .... the haunting juxtaposition of menace and cautious hope really seemed to resonate in my teen years .... probably my all-time favorite iteration of the Force Theme.
And it never made it into the film.
A great musical storytelling moment that sadly was cut from the film...at least we have it here unlike all the cut prequel music that Disney won't release
4:27 we are at war, Anakin.
That's treason.
I remember the Episode III Trailer used this theme.
That name... means nothing to me anymore.
It's very dangerous putting them together. I don't think the boy can handle it. I don't trust him.
I need your help, son. I'm appointing you to be my personal representative on the jedi council.
When Han was lowered into the carbon freeze and Chewie let out his long loud wookie cry I felt that
It's also hard to not make the "FWAAAH!!" sound that the carbon freezer makes when it activates.
@@jackson2531 ye

This whole song just gives me the chills of just how bad ass and beautiful it is.
2:25
One of the best versions of the Imperial March.
I literally just saw you a second ago in another section weird.
so amazing
I can just hear the carbonite
first time I read the Trawn Trilogy, I was listening to random Star Wars music and during the twins birth 1:25 started for Jaina and 1:57 started for Jacen, it was so eerie knowing the future.
TheInspectorwho That is actually a really cool coincidence.
@@cloudftw113 I agree. It unsettling knowing what eventually happens. But at least there were good things in that moment of time.

i love star wars. i love the republic. i love democracy. this just turned into a quote lol
1:33 Is where the magic happens
I remember so vividly crying, as a kid, when the frozen Han was SLAMMED down and you get a good look at him, out of sheer fright 🤣
0:00 to 0:20 wish it continued as its own score
4:56 best part starts
true
5:10 and 7:50 I like how it makes Bobas theme slower
Yeah it’s pretty awesome
Ah hell man, how many nights I spent as a kid playing this on repeat with my little CD player.
“I’m just a simple man making my way to the galaxy, like my father before me”
I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe
With the way this music sounds would you ever had guessed that this musical was from the 1980s? Just proves how ingenious orchestral music is.
It was in fact recorded in 1979
Everyone says 6:06 is the best part, but it wouldn't be nearly as good without the suspense building up to it at 5:35.
4:15 the best part
One of the most epic tracks in all of StarWars

So Princess Leia is low key the OG it’s a trap and not admiral Ackbar
4:00 IMPENDING DOOM
John Williams, to me you are a Sir, I bow before your ingenuity
That low brass chorale has such a funereal quality. It sounds like mourning to me.
"Well, Calrissian, did he survive?"
“I had altered the deal. Prey that I don’t altered it further.”
this scene got suprisingly very intense
The Princess you have to take care of her, ya hear me!
"Well done. Hold them in the security tower, and keep it quiet. Move!" My favorite part of this piece, along with the carbon freezing melody (I am a hopeless romantic).

1:58 "To the one called Maw: a bitter individual that loathes all and holds loyalty to few. A strong and formidable foe. For every cord of muscle, there is hatred. It is this hate that keeps his aging body strong"
9:18 Anyone else think this should've been Boba Fett's theme in the new Battlefront(when he spawns in)
It is. The second part of that plays (albeit at a slower tempo) when he is defeated.
ZeroWolf51 Very true, but the fast and deadly sounding version here definitely deserves a spot in my opinion. Thanks for pointing that out.
+Kobi Fisher Okay, I see what you're saying now. No problem.
Kobi Fisher no because it has that drop off at the end which they still would have done with it in the beginning but I think that if fits
Kobi Fisher YES
No one is talking about how good 6:07 is! That’s the best part of this piece
It just screams courage and heroism
Thank you brother i’ve been saying this for years and nobody gets it 😂
4:17-4:52 favorite part in the music cuz of the intensity feel i get from it.
Same here! It would be a good theme for an intimidating Imperial officer or even a theme playing when an officer is in trouble and looks petrified.
This will be forever be associate with a menacing baritone voice
The best STAR WARS !
7:34 my favorite rendition of this theme, and it wasn't even used in the final product
1:58 “The things I do for that princess!”
Lando and Fett, the only two that gave Vader sass and lived.
Leia: am I a joke to you?
Hearing 2:14 in the movie was real fear for me. Bad guys won and Vader wasnt playing around.
4:16 that part everybody associated with fett to me represents imperial officers and the general vibe on board imperial ships.
5:00 Best Song of this music :D
Agreed. I love all that imposing dissonance.
+++
Not proper English
I get chills Everytime
i like that one the best too
“What if he doesn’t survive? He’s worth a lot to me.”
“The Empire will compensate you if he dies. Put him in!”
9:54 always loved how John Williams used the Carbonite Freeze theme again here to show Han's fully gone now, no rescue
Nicholas Crowe Hello, Return of the Jedi? Well, they originally wanted Han to die, but they thought it would be too sad.
I meant he's not getting rescued by Leia, Chewie and Lando since the cue plays right as Slave 1 is taking off and Chewie fires his blaster at it
1:57 - Epic sendoff
That part is stuck in my head
I love this part

2:25 One of the best Imperial marches. And also I love Boba Fett's theme. He will always be my favorite bounty hunter
Episodes 1-6 are unparalleled
The quiet march at 4:16 has been so helpful to me in writing music in this style.
Leia: I love you
Han Solo: I know
General Heavy if I were Han I would say no shit
General Heavy Han Solo: Fuck off
Han Solo a fucking bad ass

My absolute favorite track from all the films, second closest to this is probably Asteroid Field, Binary Sunset, and the tracks from Rogue One "Your Father Would Be Proud" and "Hope".
10:01 - Ravel left hand piano concerto (final bars - same chord). Never noticed that before.
" I love you" "I know"
One of my favourite 10/10 movies.

6:45 You must not go!

9:28 onwards contains one of my all-time favourite pieces of music from The Empire Strikes Back...
5:15 To me that’s Boba Fetts Theme
6.06 this is most epic star wars theme and my favourite of all

If you played Lego Star Wars, you came for 6:06.
*I know I'm not wrong*
*WILL THOSE STORMTROOPERS EVER STOP FALLING OUT OF THE SKY?!*
I played it but came for the Carbonite Theme
I came to hear the whole lot not just a small chunk.
