 A classic December 11, 2008
Michael D. LaVaque (Tempe, AZ.)
Perhaps my least favorite of the original soundtracks, it's still a classic. If you are a fan of the original Star Wars movies, you can't miss owning this CD.
 Great Soundtrack October 6, 2008
V. Hanlon (Chicago)
I bought this for a Star Wars birthday party for my 7-year-old son and our whole family really enjoys listening to this. If you're a Star Wars fan, I'd recommend adding this to your music collection.
GREAT BUY!!!! June 11, 2008
The music is excellent, the case has a 3-D cover, and the regular cover behind the 3-D one folds out into a great poster, which has pictures on the back of it. This soundtrack has two disks and contains the the song "Jedi Rock" from Jabba's palace and the celebration song at the end of the movie. "Luke and Leia's theme is beautiful, while the action music makes you feel like you are right there in the movie. I think that every Star Wars fan should own this item.
Music that is enjoyable enough to last a lifetime April 19, 2008

I only have the original Star Wars double gatefold LP from the late 1970s (Universal Records) plus the 3 VHS special edition box of the movies. With access to the films via Netflix and Rhapsody, I have not been motivated to buy them yet again. I listened to all 3 original Star Wars sound tracks via Rhapsody (IV, V, & VI) over the course of a single day. I greatly love the original LPs, but I do agree with those who have commented that the second and third film scores are even better. The overall cohesion of the music with the recurring themes is very impressive. If I had only listened piecemeal I may have missed this cohesion factor. Track 6 on VI disc 1 is perhaps my favorite. By just listening to the music instead of hearing it along with the video, I realized how great the film scores are and they can really stand on their own without the videos. The production qualities on these CDs are second to none. The Orchestra sounds great and the levels are very powerful making the music easy to hear.
I recently heard the marche from Prokofiev's The Love of 3 Oranges and it sounds similar to the Parade of the Ewoks (track 1, Disc 2 Star Wars VI). If you have the actual CDs or if you are much more the Star Wars buff than I am, could you please check to see if mention is made about this track and if its inspiration is listed as Prokofiev's marche? I listened to Arthur Fiedler's (Boston Pops) Living Stereo CD (Prokofiev, Chopin, & Liszt) via Rhapsody so if you have access you can cue up both tracks.
These CDs are very enjoyable to listen to and I capped my day with the sound TREK from the original Star Trek The Motion Picture.
The best Star Wars soundtrack March 1, 2007

While all the Star Wars films have extraordinary soundtracks, Return of the Jedi stands slightly above it's peers in terms of music. John Williams really went all out for the finale! The attack on the Death Star, Luke's final duel with Darth Vader, the battle on the Endor moon, Vader's funeral and celebration make this one incredible CD.
