2004 (1983) / Sony Classical / 148 mins
A fantastic conclusion to the original trilogy, bringing a nice sense of closure to many of the themes and ideas from the first two scores. A choir, something not common in the series to this point, is brought into the mix with foreboding male vocals giving the Emperor, and the finale in general, a very climactic feel. The frequent interplay of all the different themes, both old and new, is endlessly entertaining.
