  • By contrast, The Tractor Beam is a subtle, moody piece, crudely but accurately labeled "Ben Creeps Around" on the conductor's score. It consists primarily of strings and percussion (including tam-tam, marimba, military snare, and the highest B natural on the piano) as the veteran Knight disables the magnetic beam that holds the Millennium Falcon in the landing bay. French horn and winds are used during a comical scene with Luke, Han, Leia, and Chewie exiting the compactor, and later, brass makes a hopeful statement of Luke's theme as they all get a welcome glimpse of Han's Corellian starship. Nervous violins lead to their discovery by stormtroopers and Chasm Crossfire, which features string pulses punctuated by the Imperial theme and timpani as a foot chase begins. The middle portion of the cue finds Luke and Leia cornered at the central core shaft. The ensuing shootout is scored by a rousing version of Luke's theme and features orchestral echoes that fit the setting perfectly. As indicated by the score sheet title, "The Swashbucklers," Williams' approach in this cue was to pay homage to adventure films of the late 1930's by infusing it with an upbeat, busy quality rather than a dark, threatening tone. As Luke secures a line on some overhead machinery, Leia's theme is heard, and a trumpet fanfare accompanies their successful swing-across. Then it's back to the pulsing rhythm as Han and Chewbacca are chased by stormtroopers. The imperial theme threatens, but the smuggler and the Wookiee outsmart their pursuers. Timpani is featured as Ben encounters his former pupil Darth Vader in a corridor near the docking bay, lightsaber activated and ready

    • @redsoxu571

      To be fair, I would argue that if there is one bit from the entire score of SW (the film, not series) that embodies its tone and spirit, it's this - and no other SW film has aimed to be so fun and bombastic, so they shouldn't ever quite reach these heights. Let's also admit that this music might as well accompany Errol Flynn and his like - it basically is "swashbuckling" personified sonically. Well, that makes sense when we recall that SW knowingly was aping all sorts of bits of films of the past, and the scene this goes with belongs to the era of swashbuckling screen heroes. Come to think of it, the scene itself is logically completely silly, and if the original SW had been subjected to the same hyperscrutiny that the sequel films were many likely would have called it "dumb". Of course, it is nothing of the sort, and neither is the reality that future SW films couldn't simply keep doing that sort of thing over and over again.

      Joel Szasz There's a deleted scene in ESB where Luke and Leia almost kiss intimately before Han shows up. George clearly decided their blood relation in ROTJ.

    • @assemblyrequired7342
      @assemblyrequired7342 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      *****
      Considering Leia's ability to sense that her brother was in danger (and find him below that massive floating city) towards the end of TESB, I think their relationship was probably decided during the writing of the script, though that was only hinted in that scene.
      Otherwise, they disregarded it while filming the deleted scene you refer to. I'd imagine if the internet had been around at the time, there'd have been discussions and theories about how Leia could use the Force, and thus kissed her secret brother not once, but twice. Maybe they planned to just have Leia be another individual who happened to be strong with the Force, or make contacting those you're close to a Force ability. Then again, I'd imagine it'd still be a shock, considering that I don't think that Luke's twin sister was mentioned until ROTJ.
      In short, they wanted to make Leia being Luke's sister a shocking revelation.
