It features some wonderful woodwind writing as well - a detail rather surprising which lifts this from your typical game score. “Approaching Felucia” is another great sequence with a more mysterious opening and low brass in sinister-sounding music, all of which feels like the best extension of the score from Revenge of the Sith. In particular, “Drexl’s Raiders” is one of the better sequences and also incorporates the “Imperial March”.
A standard device employed here is to have action music, all quite intricate, move along with a lot of excitement and then to throw in one of the original themes to hint at the story. Many of the selections tend to open with a swath of mysterious and unusual sounds that then dissolve into small motivic or thematic statements. The style is most similar when the main Star Wars theme appears.Īction music bubbles along quite well and is cast in longer musical segments without seeming too much like a loop. The style of the music bears only a mild resemblance to that of John Williams (it is closer to Shirley Walker’s Batman animation scores), though the brass fanfares are often the closest. The music is all well-written and extends the musical universe of the films slightly. The ensemble has a good brass section needed for the many action sequences incorporated here. The score is performed by Lucas’ in-house orchestra, the Skywalker Symphony. The main theme music was composed by LucasArts’ in-house composer and music supervisor Jesse Harlin (arranged by Griskey). The Force Unleashed score is composed by Mark Griskey who provided music for an earlier Star Wars video game, Knights of the Old Republic II. LucasArts continues to plumb the depths of the Star Wars universe with this latest theme-based video game, focusing on events between Episodes III and IV.
