It's a shame no one's ever heard the full version of this track. Right around 1:13 the entire orchestra is drowned out by the sound of John Williams's Ascension to Godhood.
John Williams is the greatest composer of many generations. His name as time progresses, will be held in such esteem as any of the greats. He truly is elite.
I feel like this is one of most underrated songs in all of John William's music, almost no one knows it by name or even really remembers it when you say "that song when luke and vader fight in ROTJ" but it's one of William's most powerful, beautiful, and sad scores to date. (i hope it gets used again - or remade - in the new trilogy)
TheStefan1114ever I saw it Friday, but I don't remember it being used. Weird, I'm planning on seeing it again (because it was really good, if a bit too much like A New Hope) maybe then I'll hear it. P.S. I think you can send a private comment before you send it to me so if you want to remind me of what scene it was in without spoiling it for others that would be cool too. :)
The segment between 1:13 and 1:45 has to be some of the most beautifully elegant, serene but also haunting music you're ever likely to hear in a film soundtrack. It's just stunning and adds heaps of emotion to this scene in ROTJ.
I like how the music and male choir goes from heroic to hesitant from 1:38 with that quiet yet amazing brass in the background, to dark: the call of the dark side and luke's struggle. My favourite 30 seconds of soundtrack.
I think from that point onwards, its perfect music for the Episode 8 trailers, seeing as it could be one of the darker Star Wars films. I was hoping they'd use something like this in Rogue One with the Vader scenes. Such a great theme.
For me, it rates higher than those, not that those aren't epic.... But somehow, this is just so powerful to me... Not just from watching the scene (which is very powerful) but the music just instills powerful emotions... Truely one of John Williams most powerful pieces....
Yup... Luke was channeling the dark side when he lashed out at & defeated Vader channeling his pure fear for his sister to give him the strength to stop his father at all costs. Then as Luke was about to kill the man he came to save, he realized what he had done, and what he was about to do, and was horrified with himself. So to make up for it, he entrusted his life to his father, in one last gamble. He toss away his saber rejecting fighting & the dark side entirely, knowing that the Emperor would kill him for it. His only hope was that the last bit of good left in his father would compel his father to save his son... which is EXACTLY what he did. Luke had gambled on it knowing it was not only the only way to save himself, but his father as well.
If you think about it if Palpatine had just shut up Luke might have killed Vader out of anger and he'd have Luke as his new apprentice. But Palpatine congratulating him and saying "Good" as well as seeing Vader weakened on the floor brought Luke to his senses.
1:13 This moment always gives me chills, it's just such a beautiful piece of music. I'm so glad that John Williams was responsible for this. You can really see that in Palpatine's mind it's all just a game, and that they are his puppets. It really makes him so much more evil
When I was a kid growing up watching the Star Wars saga I always loved the Luke vs Darth Vader in ROTJ especially when 1:13 of this track kicked in the fight scene. It's like a space opera. Gave me goosebumps
My all-time fav track from the movies (along with Binary Sunset) and my fav duel in the movies by far. This is so emotional and haunting and powerful. Mr. John Williams is a true legend.
I don't get why anyone even mentions when there are no dislikes on a video because the minute you do, you can expect at least three dislikes within the hour. The mere mention of no dislikes encourages stupid trolls to contradict you with an attitude of "Durrrr oh YEAH??" (dislike) "Hurr hurr hurr, I'm awesome."
I get chills! I actually prefer empire as a film but I can't deny that Jedi has the best soundtrack of the 6 films. I can't wait to see what John Williams can do in the sequel trilogy
While I may get a lot of hate from this, I preferred episode 3 (soundtrack and story wise) over the sequels. Yeah I know, the acting was kinda bland but I really enjoyed the fights, music, and emotion expressed in that one specifically. It also gave me chills when Obiwan just cut Anakin in half kinda like he did Darth Maul and just left him there to rot and burn on Mustafar.
+Nicholas Michaud you prefer III over the OT? tell me your age and the explanation will present itself. although the music was awesome, as always, the only original piece was battle of the heroes during that long unrealistic duel between anakin and obi wan.
Gonçalo Viena all I will say is that I was born around the time phantom menace came out. Also, I enjoyed watching ewan mgregor fight Hayden in a volcano to epic music. It kinda blew my mind when I was a kid. Nostalgia probably influenced my tastes
Nicholas Michaud indeed, that's the same way I feel about the OT. Can't blame you on that one, and yes the music played during anakin kenobi duel is awesome but I just wish they inserted those 30 seconds of beautiful music of the last fight between luke and vader, right after kenobi dismembers anakin, the circle would be complete.
While the Prequels had amazing battle tracks such as "Duel of the Fates", "Battle of the Heroes" and "Anakin's Dark Deeds", "The Final Duel stands out among the original trilogy as an extraordinary end to the saga.
I am not even watching this movie right now, but I already get goosebumps and have to fight with some tears in my eyes. This masterpiece of music is just the personification of perfection.
This little part of ROTJ soundtrack had to be the best song out of not just the movie but the whole saga, can you feel the emotion in this song its like a moment of truth and a moment of pain, death and sadness
For anyone who wants to hear a slightly similar piece from the world of classical music (in terms of texture and tonality), I'd recommend Denn Alles Fleisch from Brahms requiem
+Marda Barton I just began watching a youtube video of this selection of classical music written by Brahms and it is amazing how similar certain parts sound like star wars music also I think this selection of classical music would be perfect in a lightsaber battle when it looks like the jedi are about to lose and then at the last minute they begin to regain their game kind of and win the battle in the end because there is a kind of noble heroic and hopeful feeling to it thank you for suggesting this piece of music music is extremely interesting as well as lots of stuff related to music like how it can make us feel so emotional or multiple emotions etc. I just love music!! again thank you for recommending this unique and beautiful piece of music .
1:13 Luke's descent into the Dark side... Vader never even struck at his son. I believe even Anakin was frightened of what his son could become, and he paved the way for it.
"You'll never be as cool as Han Solo!" "Oh, that tears it!" "Now, finish him!" "Excuse me, what now?" "Come on, you know the deal! It's the same thing you did with Count Dooku!" "Fair enough."
The whole song is so beautiful and amazing and EPIC and bone chilling. I could go on and on about this song but 1:03 - 1:13..Ahhh..Oh my God..the way it transitions and transforms and it's so beautiful and epic..it brings tears to my fucking eyes, man !! 😢😢😢😢
I was only like 5-6 years old when I saw SW6, but I still remember that chilling down my spine when Luke started fighting Vader and the Chores at 1:12 started...most epic scene in film history...
Great piece of music. Haunting and beautiful at the same time. Return of the Jedi isn't the best film of the Star Wars saga. But the end of the Final Duel between Luke and Vader is the most powerful moment of the whole series and a good part of it is thanks to John Williams score. It almost feels like the whole saga comes to a head during this sequence.
This is my favourite Star Wars movie and favourite piece that John Williams did, besides Dual of the Fates, The final battle in Revenge of the Sith, the main theme, Yoda’s Theme, The Imperial March, Jaws, The raiders theme and Shindlars List soundtrack
This feels like what we were waiting for since Vader killed Obi Wan. To see Luke finally best his turned father but almost at the cost of becoming what the Emperor wanted him to be
I still think Battle of the heroes isn't as emotional as this, but not as epic as BotH. It shows Anakins turn to the dark side. This one shows Vaders redemption
You have "The Final Duel" for the last duel score in the OT. You have "Battle of the Heroes" in the prequels for the last duel score. They better do good in the new trilogy to beat those two...
What's great about SW and Lukes character is how human he was, he fail a lot ( in hoth, dagoba, cloud city) Even in his final duel he got pretty close into the dark side yet he was also pretty consious, and did realize how he f up
IMO of all SW themes, this is probably Williams' greatest achievment, as he managed to make this theme after 3 episodes yet it definately contains all the epicness of the saga, including EPI-III. This 30 seconds are a musical masterpiece. If only the quality of the duel could reach such heights...
The music starting at 1:12 is what should have been played when Anakin was getting the Vader suit put on him in Episode III. Would have made the scene much more epic.
How would that have ruined it? Basically what I'm saying is this particular song by John Williams was so powerful it could have been used in at least scenes in the Star Wars saga. Just like Duel of Fates
@@d.w.v.3553 the construction of the Vader suit should not be so epic or emotional. It's more sinister, to show that now, his suit will act as a repressor, that will torture Anakin's physical being for as long as he lives, and which will keep him in anger which builds up unto this point
I don’t think it would fit at all, when I hear this o think about overcoming. I don’t think about the suit getting put on, this is a inspirational piece right hear. Not a sad piece.
best score and best moment in the entirity of Star Wars. Luke Skywalker calling upon the Dark Side and defeating Darth Vader.. and then falling back from the dark side, finally becoming a Jedi Knight.
The literal action we see on screen is a direct and plain lightsaber duel between an old man and his son. But we are also hearing this music. So, what we _feel_ is a cosmic struggle where the fate of the Force itself will be decided. Though we don’t see them, you feel the great Jedi masters now one with the living Force, waiting along with us to see if Anakin might finally return, destroy the Sith and free the galaxy-and the Force-from their all-devouring darkness... At least, that’s what I feel. That’s what a cosmic struggle between light and dark, past and present, father and son, this is what that sounds like. No one can express so precisely-effectively-what a scene should _feel like_ the way John Williams can.
But it does. The duel is so emotional, especially the part where this music is playing (That 30 second chapter you're referencing to). That's just pure emotion and is probably the greatest duel in the whole saga.
They were gonna make it blue and make the hilt a mix of Kenobi's and Anakin's, but because the first Lightsaber fight took place in daylight with a blue sky, they had trouble rotoscoping it to that shade of blue. So they made it green.
Sith Emperor: The Circle closes. The end begins. You dissipated your energy saving the weak. There are consequences... *Later* My life spans millennia. Legions have risen to test me.
The thing is, that section was basically the culmination of the story that all 6 movies were creating, so it's supposed to be a very deep and emotional Star Wars moment. The music selection only emphasizes that quality.
1:13 A final confrontation, letting all of your anger and passion be released at once. Overcoming the fear of death and attempting to triumph the evil that terrors you. 1:47 But one is to overcome the other, awaiting someone to become blind of their triumph. And to be taken up by some other force that begs to do more evil than good.
1:13 sounds so sad and is so because up til now Luke had been trying to save his father and had refused to give up on him. However, when Vader threatened to go after Leia instead it was at that point Luke gave up on his father. That's why this theme is so sad. Vader does eventually redeem himself in the end though.
"For the briefest moment of pure instinct, I thought I could stop it. It passed like a fleeting shadow, and I was left with shame and with consequence."
It's a shame no one's ever heard the full version of this track. Right around 1:13 the entire orchestra is drowned out by the sound of John Williams's Ascension to Godhood.
OmegaMapDesign You just won the Internet. Funniest comment ever lol
The word - and boy, does it apply - is 'Apotheosis'.

@@BlyndSyde you forgot about some of the Lord of the Rings soundtracks >:)
This Part Is so powerfull!!!......But, the emperor theme Is my all time favorite!!!
1:10 one of the most powerfull moments and most beutifull themes in Star Wars
yes
I think from that point onwards, its perfect music for the Episode 8 trailers, seeing as it could be one of the darker Star Wars films. I was hoping they'd use something like this in Rogue One with the Vader scenes. Such a great theme.
Yes
Not just in Star Wars in Film overall man lol
If you will not turn to the Dark Side , the perhaps she will . Nooooooooooooooo! 1:13
"still gives me chills ".
I am pretty sure, that Luke cried out "Never!" - and not "Noo!" :)
more like ... "darghhhhh!"

Karl Henriksen really? I always thought it was noooo. Never really heard the NEVER part

You have all of my favs listed except Anakin's Betrayal. That song gave me the chills.
Robert Holding stop wasting time on thr youtube and start to play some proper football
Anakin's Betrayal and Anakin's Dark Deeds are both excellent. ROTS has one of the best soundtracks of the entire saga.
a lot of people don't know just how close Luke was to turning when he lashed out at Vader
Yup... Luke was channeling the dark side when he lashed out at & defeated Vader channeling his pure fear for his sister to give him the strength to stop his father at all costs. Then as Luke was about to kill the man he came to save, he realized what he had done, and what he was about to do, and was horrified with himself.

its not about space ships!

Best battle

The mere mention of no dislikes encourages stupid trolls to contradict you with an attitude of "Durrrr oh YEAH??" (dislike) "Hurr hurr hurr, I'm awesome."
Good for you, sir.
***** I do. I laughed while typing my first response to you.
Lonely Cannibal haha so true- I hate people
The background ominous voices, with the amount of power and emotion this song carries makes this such a great song..
One of the most emotional soundtracks I've heard. Truly moving. You can almost hear the battle between the light and the dark.
1:13 how is the final duel of the new trilogy possibly going to sound more important and final than this lol
lay off crack
Yees exactly!
John Williams might surprise us but don't keep the hopes too high, this theme is really well made.
there wasn't a final duel, the senate just got destroyed by his own lightning
Lol and it never did
why am i crying?
cause this track is awesome
Because Disney and Rian Johnson ruined Star Wars moving forward with their misinterpretation of Luke in The Last Jedi....what a terrible film.
Bc 1:13

This scene gives me chills every time!!
1:13 Luke's descent into the Dark side... Vader never even struck at his son. I believe even Anakin was frightened of what his son could become, and he paved the way for it.
This piece from Return of the Jedi always gives me chills and makes me want to cry. The final battle between Luke and Vader is so emotional.
Agreed 😥
More than 40 years, and it still gets me. B)
Best lightsaber fight of all time because of this
"You'll never be as cool as Han Solo!" "Oh, that tears it!"
"Now, finish him!" "Excuse me, what now?" "Come on, you know the deal! It's the same thing you did with Count Dooku!" "Fair enough."
That Finish Him sounds like Mortal Kombat
This is a very powerful scene
One things for sure, this song DEFINITELY will age better than “the rise of Skywalker”
ROTJ will be 40 years old this year and it's already aged better than the entire sequel trilogy
The whole song is so beautiful and amazing and EPIC and bone chilling. I could go on and on about this song but 1:03 - 1:13..Ahhh..Oh my God..the way it transitions and transforms and it's so beautiful and epic..it brings tears to my fucking eyes, man !! 😢😢😢😢
I was only like 5-6 years old when I saw SW6, but I still remember that chilling down my spine when Luke started fighting Vader and the Chores at 1:12 started...most epic scene in film history...

1:14 always makes me so emotional
You just got to love those classic Star Wars posters
1:13 just reminds me of how the great and powerful space opera would end at the ninth number.. Very teary...
Great piece of music. Haunting and beautiful at the same time. Return of the Jedi isn't the best film of the Star Wars saga. But the end of the Final Duel between Luke and Vader is the most powerful moment of the whole series and a good part of it is thanks to John Williams score. It almost feels like the whole saga comes to a head during this sequence.
This is my favourite Star Wars movie and favourite piece that John Williams did, besides Dual of the Fates, The final battle in Revenge of the Sith, the main theme, Yoda’s Theme, The Imperial March, Jaws, The raiders theme and Shindlars List soundtrack
so many memories
This feels like what we were waiting for since Vader killed Obi Wan. To see Luke finally best his turned father but almost at the cost of becoming what the Emperor wanted him to be
1:03 “If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will”.
the way he wrote the part for the men's choir is the most hauntingly beautiful little part ive ever heard, hands down.
*Luke bashing against Darth Vader's lightsaber*
Vader vs. Luke - best lightsabre duel ever, because of this masterpiece
I still think Battle of the heroes isn't as emotional as this, but not as epic as BotH. It shows Anakins turn to the dark side. This one shows Vaders redemption
This theme is... gooood! Goooooood!
Favorite track/score of the six films. The Choir is amazing starting from 1.:13.
You have "The Final Duel" for the last duel score in the OT.
You have "Battle of the Heroes" in the prequels for the last duel score.
They better do good in the new trilogy to beat those two...
Shame it didn't.
You poor soul 😢
They were originally gonna make another blue. Also was gonna be called "Revenge of the Jedi"
What's great about SW and Lukes character is how human he was, he fail a lot ( in hoth, dagoba, cloud city) Even in his final duel he got pretty close into the dark side yet he was also pretty consious, and did realize how he f up
IMO of all SW themes, this is probably Williams' greatest achievment, as he managed to make this theme after 3 episodes yet it definately contains all the epicness of the saga, including EPI-III. This 30 seconds are a musical masterpiece. If only the quality of the duel could reach such heights...

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO LISTENED TO MY REQUESTS AND POSTED A REAL MUSIC VIDEO, AND NOT A STUPID FUN VERSION or something...
Green likesaber bar. Good sign. May not have a million views but the force is strong with this one.
I only remembered this song due to star wars Jedi knight 2 Jedi outcast when its the arena/death match mode. beautiful music.
The music starting at 1:12 is what should have been played when Anakin was getting the Vader suit put on him in Episode III. Would have made the scene much more epic.
+Daniel Victor no its perfect here because it shows their relationship
How would that have ruined it? Basically what I'm saying is this particular song by John Williams was so powerful it could have been used in at least scenes in the Star Wars saga. Just like Duel of Fates

Vader: "If you will not turn to the dark side...then perhaps SHE will..."
Luke: "NEVER!"
Best scene in ROTJ in my opinion.
this music makes final duel best duel in whole Star Wars.
THIS IS WHAT FIGHTING A LOVED ONE TO THE DEATH WHILE WEEPING INSIDE SOUNDS LIKE.
MASTERPIECE ❤️❤️❤️
1:16 Was Brilliant
best score and best moment in the entirity of Star Wars. Luke Skywalker calling upon the Dark Side and defeating Darth Vader.. and then falling back from the dark side, finally becoming a Jedi Knight.
Could not agree more. The best confrontation score i have ever heard.
just the greatest score of all cinema
The Duel of Fates fan vs Average Final Duel enjoyer
NOSTALGIA.
this added so much to the scene
Beautiful
one of the best themes from the movie, thank's docock2
This is fight, we fought every day, to beat the evil in us all. Finding the good side. A wonderful peace of music
"...So be it...*Jedi*..." Luke, you should never, *ever* put down your lightsaber!
The literal action we see on screen is a direct and plain lightsaber duel between an old man and his son. But we are also hearing this music. So, what we _feel_ is a cosmic struggle where the fate of the Force itself will be decided. Though we don’t see them, you feel the great Jedi masters now one with the living Force, waiting along with us to see if Anakin might finally return, destroy the Sith and free the galaxy-and the Force-from their all-devouring darkness...
At least, that’s what I feel. That’s what a cosmic struggle between light and dark, past and present, father and son, this is what that sounds like. No one can express so precisely-effectively-what a scene should _feel like_ the way John Williams can.
I can just hear the emperor's malicious cackle at 1:53
But it does. The duel is so emotional, especially the part where this music is playing (That 30 second chapter you're referencing to). That's just pure emotion and is probably the greatest duel in the whole saga.
I was watching this scene today. 1:13 nearly drove me to tears for some reason, although it never really has before.
thanks makes me choke up when i hear this when vader and luke fight
They were gonna make it blue and make the hilt a mix of Kenobi's and Anakin's, but because the first Lightsaber fight took place in daylight with a blue sky, they had trouble rotoscoping it to that shade of blue. So they made it green.
My favorite theme of the saga. the big drama moment ^^
SO YOU HAVE A TWIN SISTER, IF YOU WILL NOT TURN PERHAPS SHE WILL

and not be evil

Most iconic scene nd score in movie history
The thing is, that section was basically the culmination of the story that all 6 movies were creating, so it's supposed to be a very deep and emotional Star Wars moment. The music selection only emphasizes that quality.
The part i like start at 1:13 it so powerfull whit the voices behind the music
I don't think this music couldn't fit anywhere else but that scene, dark vs light, father vs son.
Underrated song.
"You've failed your highness. I am a Kedi, like my father before me."
1:13 A final confrontation, letting all of your anger and passion be released at once. Overcoming the fear of death and attempting to triumph the evil that terrors you.
1:47 But one is to overcome the other, awaiting someone to become blind of their triumph. And to be taken up by some other force that begs to do more evil than good.
1:13 sounds so sad and is so because up til now Luke had been trying to save his father and had refused to give up on him. However, when Vader threatened to go after Leia instead it was at that point Luke gave up on his father. That's why this theme is so sad. Vader does eventually redeem himself in the end though.
"For the briefest moment of pure instinct, I thought I could stop it. It passed like a fleeting shadow, and I was left with shame and with consequence."
