What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about how the soundtrack brings the movie to mind -- what scenes can you picture as each piece of music plays? How does the music make the movie action more dramatic?

What's the story?

What's the story?
John Williams conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in a lush and surprisingly moving musical accompaniment to the sixth Star Wars movie, STAR WARS EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH. The bonus DVD is a wonderful accompaniment to the soundtrack, telling the whole story (with some new footage included) from beginning to end, via musical themes. Some of the visuals might be a little scary for younger kids but there's very little dialogue to worry about -- and of course, no lyrics at all.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Exquisitely performed as usual, this soundtrack is more varied and fun than some of the others, with familiar melodic themes woven in among new compositions. High points "General Grievous" and "New Hope," for example, may even serve the purpose of sparking new interest in orchestral music.

Movie Wars Episode III: Revenge of the 3rd Best
This was the 3rd best movie out of the whole series. After I had seen the first 3, it was hard to tell which was the best. This was very interesting, but the events played way too smoothly. Something more had to happen, and if you saw the first 3, you could understand what happened halfway through the movie.

Amazing Conclusion to an Amazing Musical Saga!
The brilliant John Williams has done it again. He wraps up his score for the STAR WARS saga (spanning 30 years!) with a score as dark as the movie. Yet it still packs the emotional puch that the others did, with new engrossing and original themes. It also incporporates some of the themes from the original trilogy, most notably The Imperial March, in some of the songs. Now, some copies of this CD (including mine) come with a bonus DVD that plays clips from all 6 movies along with selected themes from all 6 CDs. The footage may be somewhat scary and intense, but not very violent. Highly recommended. Anyone at all can listen to the music, and anyone over 7 or 8 can watch the movie.
