While debates continue to rage over the quality of George Lucas's Star Wars prequels, John Williams's acclaimed music for those three movies is much less controversial. Thus, even prequel-bashers might want to take a look at the prequel-soundtrack reissue series from I Am Shark.
The Episode I soundtrack has already been reissued, with the vinyl discs coming in five different colors to suggest different characters in the movie. (The Obi-Wan blue is my favorite.) Now, the Episode II soundtrack is available for pre-order to ship March 15, with only 1,000 copies being pressed — all in a blue/silver scheme keyed to Jango Fett's armor.
"There are hints of a hidden surprise included in this album," notes the label. Hmm. How do you say "Count Dooku is dead" backwards?
