Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (soundtrack)

The soundtrack to the film was released on April 23, 2002 by Sony Classical. The music was composed and conducted by John Williams, and performed by the London Voices and London Symphony Orchestra.

For a limited time, the CD shipped with a bonus CD-ROM featuring a PC screensaver and a total of four alternate covers (each sold separately). A Target-exclusive edition featured the bonus track "On The Conveyor Belt."

Four different soundtrack covers, each sold separately, were distributed at the time: one featuring Yoda, another featuring Anakin and Padmé, a third featuring Jango Fett, and the fourth featuring the film's final poster art.

Due to the editing in the film, several effects were used to aid in transitions between edited cues. Several moments use a chime sound such as the transition from the Obi-Wan Kamino moments to the Anakin/Padmé Naboo scenes. The Arena, for example, is almost completely tracked out and instead is replaced with "source" crowd sounds such as drums.

Once the Battle of Geonosis begins, the editing becomes extensive, pulling from both The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, utilizing all forms of editing and supplementing transitions with timapi rolls. This was originally planned by John Williams and George Lucas.

Score Information
Little is known about the score. Due to the unpopularity of the 2 Disc Phantom Menace Ultimate Edition, no attempt was made to release more of the score.

Unlike the other films, little material&mdash;past what is heard on the album&mdash;is used in any of the LucasArts video games.
