Star Wars has a long and storied history with video games from the original Star Wars arcade cabinet to the recently released Star Wars: The Old Republic. This piece of music I am sharing with you all today is one of my favourite pieces from the vast orchestrated tracks from Star Wars' vast soundtrack. It was most likely in a game as it is one of the big themes for the Star Wars movies. While the prequel trilogy left a lot to be desired for Star Wars fans, it still had the incredible musical prowess of John Williams producing the score for them. One of the best pieces of music to debut in the prequel trilogy is Duel of the Fates.
For those who remember the incredible three-way lightsaber battle between Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Darth Maul at the end of The Phantom Menace, Duel of the Fates was the music that was playing throughout the scene. John Williams' masterpiece made this scene even more epic than it really was. As the track goes on, the more intense it gets. The choir sings at the top of their lungs and notes are held longer. It brings everything to a grand climax in a rather disappointing movie. While I cannot pinpoint the exact game or games that Duel of the Fates has been in, it would be nice to find this piece of music in any upcoming Star Wars games or even an episode in The Clone Wars, an incredible show that any Star Wars fan should get over their hate of the prequel trilogy to watch.
