Tusken Coalition - Tusken Coalition

Advantages: A solid Star Wars score with an absolutely fantastic new theme
Disadvantages: Muddy recording quality and a little less exciting action for a Star Wars score

Advantages: John Williams' score, great performance by the LSO
Disadvantages: Tracks don't follow the film's action

In Attack of the Clones Shmi Skywalker's death at the hands of the Tusken Raiders led to Anakin's first serious brush with the dark side of the Force; in Revenge of the Sith it's his fear of losing Padme that makes him vulnerable to Palpatine's influence.
