music.wikisort.org - CompositionStar Wars: Return of the Jedi (The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the film score to the 1983 film Return of the Jedi, composed and conducted by John Williams and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. The score was recorded at the Abbey Road Studios in January and February 1983. Again, John Williams served as producer. Herbert W. Spencer, Thomas Newman and Gordon Langford served as orchestrators. Engineer Eric Tomlinson, music editor Kenneth Wannberg, and record supervisor Lionel Newman again reprised their respective duties. The score earned another Academy Award nomination for Williams. Return of the Jedi, which is the original trilogy's shortest score, was only released on a single-LP instead of a double-set like the Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back soundtracks before it.

In commemoration for the franchise's 20th anniversary in 1997, RCA Victor released 2-disc limited edition soundtracks for each film in the original trilogy. The release got a title The Star Wars Trilogy: Special Edition. For Return of the Jedi only, two newly recorded music tracks were added at George Lucas's request. John Williams wrote and recorded a new ending melody with the London Symphony Orchestra titled "Victory Celebration", replacing "Ewok Celebration" from the original release. Jerry Hey composed and arranged "Jedi Rocks" as a replacement for "Lapti Nek".
Sony Classical Records re-issued the soundtrack on September 21, 2004 under the title Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). The 2-disc set was advertised as the complete score despite missing several musical cues and original tracks.

Although released as the complete score, there are several cues not on the Special Edition that have been released on previous releases. These include:
- "Lapti Nek" (Album) – This is released on the anthology set and is replaced on the SE with "Jedi Rocks".
- "Leia's News" (Alternate) – This is released on the anthology set. The film version however is heard on the SE.
- "Ewok Celebration" (Ewok Source) – This is released on the anthology set but is replaced on the SE with the new celebration music written for the SE.
- "Ewok Celebration" (Choir Source) – This is released on the anthology set and is an alternate vocal mix (using only the choir, not the Ewok voices).
Unreleased cues
Currently, several source cues and other material are unavailable. Many of these master tapes could not be located in time for the score's Special Edition release and are presumed lost. These tracks include:
- "Jabba the Hutt's Concert Suite" - All but the final portion of this original recording, incorrectly edited onto the end of the cue "Han Solo Returns" on the Anthology, remains unreleased. (This same portion is heard on the Return of the Jedi DVD menu as well).
- Film Version of "Lapti Nek" (Original Source) - Several versions of this source cue written by John Williams' son Joseph are available. Currently available are the album version on the Anthology and an extended album version and an instrumental track released on an LP single. However, the film version has yet to be released.
- English Version of "Lapti Nek" (Sung by Joseph Williams) - This cue can be heard partially in From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga, but remains either lost or simply unreleased. Williams later released a version of the song as "Urth", with him singing both Huttese and English lyrics—as well as parts of the "Ewok Celebration", which he also wrote.[7]
- "Max Rebo Band Song (Sail Barge Dance)"—Source Cue - This piece, performed by the resident musicians in Jabba's court (The Max Rebo Band) has never been released. It is heard after Chewbacca is taken away and also on Jabba's sail barge (hence its title). This cue can also be heard almost totally complete in From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga, but remains unreleased.
- Unknown Source Cue - this cue is not used in the film but is credited to Joseph Williams. Nothing more is known.
- Alternate Film Takes - Several cues such as "Superstructure Chase" are presented on the SE using incorrect and often flubbed takes.
- "Battle for Endor Insert" - This insert can be heard in the film when Chewbacca and the Ewoks use the AT-ST to blow up another AT-ST and is similar to a section from "The Forest Battle Concert Suite" but has never been released.
- "Ewok Celebration" (Film Version) - Two versions of this cue have been released, however, neither preserves the actual original recording used in the film.

[ru] Звёздные войны: Возвращение джедая (саундтрек)
Звёздные войны: Возвращение Джедая (саундтрек) (англ. Star Wars: Return of the Jedi — The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) — это музыка к фильму «Возвращение джедая» 1983 года, составленная и продирижированная Джоном Уильямсом в исполнении Лондонского симфонического оркестра. Музыка была записана в студии Abbey Road Studios в январе и феврале 1983 года. И снова в третий раз Джон Уильямс был продюсером. Оркестратор Херберт В. Спенсер (англ.) (рус., инженер Эрик Артур Томлинсон (англ.) (рус., музыкальный монтажёр Кеннет Уоннберг и руководитель записи Лайонел Ньюман (англ.) (рус. снова повторили свои обязанности. Музыка заработала ещё одну и третью за «Звёздные войны» номинацию на премию Оскар для Уильямса. «Возвращение джедая», которое является самой короткой музыкой оригинальной трилогии, было выпущено только на LP сингле, а не на двойном альбоме, как саундтреки к «Новой надежде» и «Империи наносит ответный удар».
