Thread: The JtL music selection baffles me.

Am I the only one a bit put off by the JtL fight music? I mean, yes, it's Star Wars, but the tracks they picked are, well. . . the Ewok Fight track? Trade Federation March? There is so much outstanding space combat music from the classic trilogy that just isn't used. The Falcon vs TIE Fighters dogfight sequence from Epi4 and, for that matter, damn near all 14 minutes of the Battle of Yavin track could be cut up and used.

I know, I know, there are other issues, but how long would it really take to splice these on up? I'll do it for free!

I most definatly agree, the imperial march would also been a good one. Most of the music selection is uninspiring.

Oh, and am I completely daft? The Asteroid Field piece from Epi5 is quite possibly the best track in the entire Star Wars catalogue!

I know what you are saying. I went back and started playing TIE Fighter again, and the in-flight music was pretty good. Especially after completing a mission, you get the Imperial march going. XWA had a good musical score too. Alot of good music to choose from, however I find myself muting the music in JTL and putting a CD on in the background.

Hmm, wasn't the XvsTie fighter CD, also a music CD with the soundtrack on it?

Think i'll have to try that out.

Funny thing...that's my default combat track on the ground.

I need to change that...

/agree, /agree, /agree!


There's tons of space battle music from the OT not used at all. It should be wall to wall dynamic music in space, including Rebel and Imperial themes when new ships spawn, hyperspace jump music, etc.


I'd pay extra for a disk with just music and coding for the dynamics, like XWA had.
