Jabba's sail barge is also low enough to the ground that people can just jump off it and escape. When things started exploding and people started dying, people could have gone overboard. Yes, they're stuck in the Tatooine desert but it's reasonable they could stumble their way back to the palace.

One cool thing pointed out at the end is that the end credits uses a similar song based on the Crimson Dawn. We may just be seeing them as the ones puppeting everything.

It plays throughout the BoBF theme, so it might also just be a coincidence. It's also a theme that's specifically connected to Fett's time with the Tuskens, while there's a completely different theme, originating in The Mandalorian, that's used in the show for "on the job" Fett, and is more heavily used in the present day scenes, which is where I'd expect Crimson Dawn references to pop up.

It could be a tie to Crimson Dawn, but I don't think they'd make it a core part of the show's main theme, especially if it's intended to exist beyond the current plot arc. To me, it just seems like a thematically appropriate coincidence, like Duel of the Fates appearing in The Empire Strikes Back

I think that was just Williams putting his themes together and using his "Jedi Training" theme in the forefront and with urgency for the fight sequence to kind of imply "these dudes have never had a real fight, but they've trained as if they could at any moment for their whole lives".

The weird thing is, that music doesn't even appear in the movie - the scene where it would have been has no music at all, and it cuts in partway through the track when Luke notices the cave. The soundtrack for Empire has quite a lot of music that didn't actually make it into the film, and it would be pretty funny if Williams decided to do a callback to something that most people don't even know exists in the first place.

There’s a LOT of ESB’s soundtrack that didn’t make it into the film for some reason. Like the opening minute of the Hoth theme after the end of the main theme. They salvaged that bit and used it as the menu theme for Shadows of the Empire instead.

Ben Burtt is a brilliant sound designer but he really likes chopping up John Williams's scores (and he's kind of a salty bitch but that's a whole other can of worms). The original cut for the Episode III opening is fantastic but hugely different in the final mix.

Secretly Jawas are just mean-rear end Ewoks in robes.

Meanwhile, Temura's villain being Fennac Shand was hilarious.

The quiz they're taking had pictures (and none were of Jawas) so it seems unlikely he'd get confused. Plus Ming-na also said "they were funny", after he mentioned working with so she would have to be mis-remembering as well.

Though the fact that she didn't shush him like she did when he accidentally leaked the gunship scene from the latest episode also points to it being a joke.

I remember listening to the soundtrack before III released, and I was so excited to see how this would play out with that jarring immediate cut to music instead of the usual slow build.

Then the movie just didn't do that. drat it.

Nothing to rehabilitate.

After episode 3 started watching ewoks and darm, they have serious spell cred on top of their "scifi viet cong" status.

I could have sworn the first time I watched episode 3 they played the opening with the fanfare included. But I could also be confusing things with the Battlefront 2 coruscant space battle music.

The drum buildup is better though.

I don't mind the bass drum transition (even if it's scraped off a separate part of the piece), but yeah I remember someone here posted the leaked EpIII soundtrack in the GBS hype thread and listening to it like crazy and being jarred by the edits. The shoehorned-in rendition of Duel of the Fates during Anakin Versus Obi-Wan took me out of it too.

Kurt Russell could have pulled off OT Dash in the 80s or 90s, and Sequel Dash in the present, but Fillion is also a good choice for post-Jedi, working with what we've got because it's 40 years later in the real world and we need to get creative to cover the gaps Dash.

That's exactly why Nathan Filion would be perfect for the role. Make him a conceited has-been wannabe Han Solo, whom nobody likes or takes seriously, forever resting on his laurels. But he's had a hand in saving Han and defeating Xizor, so he has a few undeniable former glories to look back on that the others begrudgingly have to acknowledge. And boy does he love to tell those stories.

Which is hilarious because in the Shadows of the Empire novel, Dash Rendar is basically a smug, annoying footnote and it is indeed Lando who does all the Han Solo poo poo that Han Solo would have done instead.
