6 - INT. CAVE - TATOOINE - LUKE & ARTOO

An unused portion of the soundtrack which, because it was scored, suggests that was this scene was apparently excluded from the final cut very late in the post-production.

From Michael Matessino's ROTJ:SE soundtrack commentary:

"...the music continues with TATOOINE RENDEZVOUS, most of which accompanies a sequence eliminated from the film. In it, Vader uses the Force to contact his son, Luke Skywalker. The tone of the music changes with the appearance of a synthesizer and dissonant strings, which Williams uses to gracefully transform the setting to the desert planet Tatooine..."

"...the sequence begins with the brief telepathic exchange between Luke and Vader, which is broken by the appearance of the droids Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio, accompanied by Luke's Theme and a playful bouncing wind melody as Luke places a newly constructed lightsaber inside Artoo's domed head." 1

"Tatooine Rendezvous" (edit) 1 - 2:06

47 - EXT SPACE - DEATH STAR AND ENDOR

The following cues contain music that was used to accompany the arrival of the Emperor to the second Death Star. While similar to each other and to what is found in the final film, both tracks also contain unused music which is believed to represent deleted footage.
