It could just be an Easter egg, as some people on Reddit suggested. Either Williams handed the wrong score to the wrong person or Ross looked at the wrong cue,” the Sideways’ video said. This might be why that music appears in both films. In addition to that, Ross also adapted that score as opposed to Williams working on it all by himself.
And the difference between Attack of the Clones and Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets is that he had help with the latter.įor The Chamber of Secrets, Williams didn’t conduct, William Ross did.

Anakin steals a speeder and they chase the bounty hunter through Coruscant. On the first night that Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are set to protect the senator, the bounty hunter strikes, and the two Jedi run after her. In Attack of the Clones, Senator Padmé Amidala is stalked by a bounty hunter trying to kill her.
