Favorite Star Wars Music?

i like episode 2's music.

yeah, no one can deny that williams is growing as a composer and that each movie has progressively better music than the last.

Personally I like imperial march (Vader marching down a hall in the death star, classic) and Duel Of The Fates in first place then Across The Stars then the Force Theme and lastly the good old starwars song

The Imperial March theme rocks. I hope there is a score for the Obi-Wan vs. Anakin duel and I hope it's the best. I'm sure some sort of music piece will be developed for that sequence.

Unless they just use DOTF.

True, I often thought of that as well. My theory is that they may use DOTF, but Williams will modify it somewhat, after all, I think DOTF score is only 3 and half minutes while the Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan is supposed to be a 12 minute duel. Like I said, I'm hoping he'll use DOTF, but I want it modified, with other new parts to the score added in. 🙂

I only have the sound tracks to the new movies, but I like some of the older tunes...like classic imperial march etc

in AOTC, when ani and padme are walking down an outside corridor of the THEDE palace on naboo, then it fades to the palace's throne room. right when the screen fades in to see the throne room, the music of the orchetsra makes a beautiful diminished sound, fitting the mood of the visuals you see quite well -it's the little things like that that make the score a good one, that is what makes a good film score overall, setting the mood in the most simplist of ways.

Yes, absolutely correct. Any score composed that brings a scene to life or carries out a certain feeling and tone to it is what really makes it a masterpiece.

well i dont think that if he used DOTF he would use the entire piece. looking at the rest of williams music and the musical habits he has, i think its safe to say that rather him using the entire DOTF score, he'll put hints of it into the score, he does that alot.

Yeah...I hope he uses all kinds of music, predominantly DOTF, Imperial March...I agree a modified version with added music. We shouldn't worry...John Williams wont let us down. 😊

Yep, you're right. I'm sure Williams wont let us down either. He's done a brilliant job with the first two, with each movie's score getting better then the first. Do you think there will be any dramatic music being played while Vader is being constructed (born) or do you think it'll be slow soft music like the music played when Luke takes off Vader's helmet in ROTJ? My guess is that the music will be dramatic, but I'm not sure.

My absolute favorite song is the one the ewok is singing while they are preparing the heroes for the feast.

Look-a-dook-a-da-doola, loook-a-dook-a-dook....that cracks me up every time!

Really though, it would have to be a tie between Imperial March and Duel of the Fates. I'm down for the battle music.

For pure Star Wars quirkiness though, I'd go with the Max Rebo set in Jabba's Palace and the final-celebration-tribal-ewok-victory song. I couldnt believe those were taken out of the re-releases. Such a bummer.

1. ESB Imperial March
2. TPM Lightsaber battle scene
3. AOTC Across the Stars/Love Pledge
4. AOTC Finale
5. ROTJ Finale (Special Edition)

It would be dramatic yeah, but I'm not sure what. Perhaps that piece of music you spoke of, that would fit nicely. Maybe just a chilling version of his theme. Or that Sith Chant, the one associated with the Emperor...??

hmmm...... Don't know.
ALL Star Wars music is JUST GREAT......hmmmm........
I'd say the Imperial march and duel of the fates. But you can't forget yoda's theme, leia's theme, the ANH finale, emperors theme, across the stars......... 😄

Imperial march below.
Hope you agree with me.

i like across the stars.

imperial march

duel of the fates.

I love DOTF, but I'm sure Episode 3 will have a score that'll be my favorite. I'm expecting something big for the Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan duel.

oh man I LOVE all of Williams scores.......but SW is definitely the best.
My favs are: AOTC Across the Stars/Love Pledge, AOTC Finale, Leias theme whatever its called, the song where Luke blows up the Death Star, Duel of the Fates and of course The Main Theme!

P.S.> Just got back from Harry Potter...was a good flick.

Mostly all SW music has been great, and to think, there's even more to come!!
