still got same advice for this tune as when u first let me hear it
for a start u should fill up the intro more try tweaking the knobs of ur vst a bit (use the record button 
)
i also already said i would pick another synth for the imperial march
something more powefull(an i would turn the march a bit faster too)

Alright man. I like the pad sound, the drums are little rigid in places but have a good solid sound, could do with more SFX to increase the overal atmosphere, drops in a bit suddenly, there was no build up at all. Its pretty week to be honest. The drums are just a standard loop and the synths are pretty bad, dont really have the right sort of tone to suit the melody. I dont know if its intentional (to avoid copyright maybe) but the bass line isnt right either, the first bits fine, but the second is way off. I think if your gonna use something as well known as the imperial march its gotta be spot on. To be honest I dont think much of the main section at all. The intro is cool and sounds like its going somewhere. I think you should drop the star wars bit and take the intro into something of your own. However, if you really want to use the imperial march, I think you need a much more aggresive bass tone and you gotta get the notes right, also, do something with the drums. In the nicest possible way, I think compared to some of your other tunes this is a step back, Im guessing its quite old because some of your other tunes are a lot better than this. Sorry if this is a bit blunt, but I do think that your other tunes are way way better than this. Im guessing youd had a few j's when you where doing this one! I reakon you should do somethig with that intro though, Im really likeing that pad sound and the drums are cool too. You could keep them building up getting gradually more complicated, have a big drop out and a long build up. Then a massive drop, bring the pads back in, have a blistering drum beat, and a big meaty bass synth, hopefully not playing imperial march. At a guess Id say that you madew the intro after the main bit, the drums are better, and there isnt that much relation between the 2 sections. Hope you do something with the intro, because as Ive already said, I like it, hope this wasnt to harsh but Im sure you can, and have done, much better than this.

The intro would be killer if it wouldn't be for the beats, too simple-sounding. And you got the Star Wars
melody a bit *wrong*. Too much detune on the bass too. Doesn't look like you've put alot of work in it actually.
I'd surely recommend you putting some heavier beat on the drop, at least boost the kicks.
Nice idea tho. 
Peace.

A great idea, but one very hard to accomplish, everybody loves that melody so living up to it's expectations is not easy. I don't know if you got the melody wrong on purpose, but in my ears it works and is actually a good idea, kinda crunk darth (so yeah, the detune fits nicely in my opinion).
But you need a LOT more power to pull this off, either that or you need to make it even more crunk, right now it's somewhere in between that's not really anything.
Keep on it though, could turn out to be kick-ass with some more work.

Hehe thanks for all the reviews peeps ...
Just need to say that this song will never be finished
As I said this was just a tune for FUN 
It wasn't my intention to make this a killer song ...
I just love that melodie and wanted to do something with it ...
Tx for the comments Techdiff, appreciate your info
I'll use this new knowledge for the next tune ...
Oh btw, wasn't expecting the intro would be nice for some 
May the force be with y'all

Locked man!!
Considering you made this in 30mins it is a masterpiece!!!! 
I kinda like the simplistic quality to the intro (even though i like busier stuff normally)
The melody is out of key man but that solves the copyright issue!!!
Nice idea good attempt at something different, BIG UP!!

sounds like you need to spend time doing some veriations to the drums and adding a big pad in the background
