I find the music of the prequels much more mature (this isn't to diminish the sequel music, because they're also amazing). It's not surprising though, John Williams had obviously improved a lot between VI and I.

liteoner I still rank the OT soundtrack above the PT's b/c they have more than one iconic theme each. The most iconic tracks in the prequels are Duel of the Fates, Across the Stars, and Battle of the Heroes. While ANH alone already has the Main Title, The Throne Room, Cantina Band, and Princess Leia's theme. I think JW peaked in the 80s & 90s. I find his music for Hook way more magical than the first three Harry Potter scores, which are still brilliant.

jp3813 One iconic theme each? Ep.III alone has Anakin's Betrayal, Anakin's Dark Deeds, Battle of The Heroes, Battle Over Corsuscant, Greivous' theme, Padme's Destiny, etc. Then there are the unreleased themes - Padme's Funeral, I Am The Senate, and Anakin vs Obi-Wan (alternate Battle of The Heroes theme), just off the top of my head. Oh, and how could i ever forget about The Immolation Scene.

Honestly if that’s True that blows my mind! The Music in Episode III is one of THE Best scores in movie cinematic history and Is a Trillion times Better than the sequels! No disrespect to John Williams but maybe because of his age his scores for the Sequels didn’t seem special at all whereas back in 2005 The Revenge of the Sith John Williams was just at his very Peak!

Keep practicing, learn your theory well and audition when the time is right. Dreams are meant to be made true. What is your instrument?

I had the great fortune of meeting mr Williams on the Universal lot near Spielberg's Amblin company...I asked for his autograph...he couldn't be more gracious "...oh certainly, thank u soo much" he said with that whispery tone...such a gentleman and one of the greatest film composers ever....

These people created a sound that will live on for centuries…for the rest of mankind. There has to be some involuntary pride and proudness. My entire childhood’s love for Star Wars rode on wings of John Williams’ music. Tilting my hat.

The Maestro of the Saga. His contributions to all nine films and then some really are the backbone of this franchise. Episode III is probably the best example of the darker side of Williams and how it plays into the score, drawing out the drama and tragedy the screen is wanting you feel.

Something about the behind the scenes of the prequels makes it feel so much real than the Disney sequels, there is this fake shiney gloss over the BTS where everyone gets along however in the prequels you see all the issues they faced.

The music is a new hope , john Williams always strikes back with return of the music and they are the menace with attack of themes and revenge of music is awakens in the last star wars .......The rise of john Williams

John basically carried the franchise from 7 to 9 and the scores were good but not as good as the prequels and original trilogy. Don't get me wrong now John is the best and he will always be the best at creating themes and music for star wars.

Probably J.J and Rian Johnson didn't exploit all the potential J. Williams has to offer. For me, George always knew how to handle the genius of John, and that is sad for sequels. By the way, I can't forget that atrocity on the "Princess Leia's Theme" in episode VIII, oh that scene, f**k you, Rian.

This song is a masterpiece

I love the bit at 7:34 with all the different shots cut together as the notes rise. Short but satisfying montage. I also love the little cut to John doing the mini boogie as he rocks out to that little eighth note bridge at 7:14-7:15, and that sort of squat and upflourish with his fingers during the Sforzando at 7:22. And at 7:52 when he like ushers in the violins to finish off the leitmotif at the absolute climax of the piece, kinda like “alright your turn finish us off boys” *swoosh* 😂 Much props to the video editors of the Battle of the Heroes music video.

Such a good thing Williams is returning for Episode VII. It wouldn't be Star Wars without him. It just wouldn't...
