The Ewok Celebration. Which One Is Better?
Lets make no doubt that John Williams is a genius when it comes to musical scores. When George Lucas decided to change the ending of Return of the Jedi he asked John Williams to write a new ending to the film. Below are the two versions. Although they are both excellent I cannot help liking the original just that little bit more due to the memories it brings back. I am one of the few who loved the Ewoks and still do. Return of the Jedi will always hold a special place in my heart.1997 Special Edition ending.
As I say, I love both versions. The updated ending has a certain feel-good charm about it but the Ewoks singing will always bring a larger smile to my face. The updated version includes scenes from Coruscant, Naboo, Bespin, and Tatooine giving the celebration a more grander scale, not just the forest moon of Endor. Nub! Also, listen out for that Wilhelm Scream in the video below at 36 seconds in.
