"Anakin's Betrayal (from Revenge of the Sith)" - John Williams

Order 66 FTW!

Revenge of the Sith was probably the best of the prequels, and Mr. Williams was his usual brilliant self for the accompanying score. I'm particularly fond of "Anakin's Betrayal", which is heard during the Clone Army's initial extermination of the Jedi.

Yeah, I know I gave an anti-spoiler spiel two days ago. But come on, we've known since 1977 that Vader "helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights", we've known since 1980 that Vader is Luke's dad, and we've known since 1983 that Luke's dad was named Anakin.

Besides, no one reads this thing anyway, so it's not like there's anyone here to spoil anything for. Geesh.

Hear "Anakin's Betrayal" on YouTube.

This is part of a week-long series on music from Star Wars.

Introduction

Some of my online cohorts at the Songfight community decided to create blogs to highlight songs they like. I am now doing it as well, because I am a total lemming.

Songfight is a weekly songwriting competition based on titles provided by the site's administrators. I post there under the handle "Albatross." Go check it out. It's a gas.

My Own Noise

Can't sing my way out of a wet paper bag, but I play a few instruments with varying degrees of proficiency. As such, sometimes I record my own music. You can hear it here.

Latest song: "Take Five" (Dave Brubeck Quartet cover)
