Legendary composer John Williams conducted the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra live as they played classic Star Wars songs live at Star Wars Celebration 2017 in Orlando.

[@murphquake]

I managed to be on the right end of the 3rd middle row. Everyone in that room cried. 5 seconds before this Billie Lourd recited her mother's speech to Obi-Wan just a few months after Carrie Fisher passed away. It was unforgettable

[@yohanalexander2850]

hundreds years from now, these songs would be categorized as classical music

[@renoutlaw8371]

Yohan Alexander they already are. classical music is not time based.

[@rokky6053]

Yohan Alexander this is legendary music!

[@laertesdd]

Ren Outlaw Actually, "classical music" describes European music from a period that began shortly before and ended shortly after the French Revolution (late 18th century). I believe, you are referring to "classic" music, meaning music that stays alive for decades or centuries and defines genres for what comes after it.

[@renoutlaw8371]

I mean this is in the same style as 18th century orchestra music which is commonly (albeit sometimes incorrectly described as classical music).

[@laertesdd]

Ren Outlaw Ah, okay, albeit I would say that Williams' music is neo-romantic in style, structure, orchestration and atmosphere and thus stems heavily from the symphonic traditions of the late 19th and early 20th century.

[@teaching_and_learning]

Since celebration in 2019 will likely be the last year to celebrate John Williams' new contributions to the saga (Episode 9), I think they should let him conduct one final epic Star Wars concert and give him some kind of lifetime tribute award.

[@shadowtooth7432]

[@Rowgue51]

John has pretty much written the music for any movie with a memorable original score that's been made since the 1970s.

[@alexandrufulga2812]

And give him a good orchestra to conduct!

[@GT-1902]

John Williams is what made the movies feel so magical, when I was a kid. It made going to the movies, feel like a "movie". I feel so blessed to have been able to grow up and be a kid when E.T., Superman, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Jaws were in the theater.

He may be a classical composer but tonight, to Star Wars fans, he's a true ROCK STAR.

[@tertiary7]

Wael Binali I was there and I would say that both Lucas' and Harrison's were bigger. But it's really not a competition. It was an incredible experience in the spirit of the whole Star Wars family together. It was all magical.

[@kirsteni.russell5903]

Carrie Fisher played a feisty, no-nonsense princess, but John Williams composed the music for the character's soul.

[@Mason009009]

I went that whole tribute only shedding a couple sad tears and a lump in my throat. It wasnt until John Williams showed up and I heard Leia's them playing that I couldn't take it and just broke down into an emotional wreck. Im an average nobody 22 year old man who grew up on Star Wars since I was barely in Pre-School and Im deeply mourning a celebrity as if she was a close family member. Thats the effect Carrie had on people. No matter where you are in the world she has a habit of making any fan feel like someon special. As if every interview or panel she took part in felt like she was talking beyond the screen and directly to you. There will never be a character that compares to Princess Leia and there will never be another Carrie Fisher...

[@andremaccarini1656]

I've never felt so sad about someone passing away as I did with Carrie. I heard about this Sith legend... If only I could do something...

This is amazing! John Williams is a living legend!

[@kegginstructure]

True. Look him up on Wikipedia. In terms of academy awards for movie music (any sub-category), he is second only to "the Mouse" - and they had not one but SIX major composer teams, going back to the Sherman brothers and including Ashman and Menken - plus Sir Elton. Plus TV music awards and a few other honors. Think about this: The Star Wars franchise started in the late 1970s and that theme is still going strong. Oh, another one of his long-running contributions? Hedwig's Theme from the Harry Potter series! Living legend is true but somehow words do not do justice.

[@Thornus_______]

[@Warandpeace569]

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! RIP Carrie Fisher.

[@slydtsman]

Amazing. You can feel the love in that auditorium. I was already welling up during Leia's theme, but when the Star Wars theme started playing and the one lightsaber to the left came up, and whoever was holding it stood so proud, I lost it. The theater I worked at ran Star Wars exclusively on one screen, in one theater in the PHX, AZ (OGCC4EVEVAH) until Alien came along. Can you believe Fox didn't believe in Star Wars enough to give it a 70mm roadshow or full nationwide release? Executives (except one) were PISSED at George Lucas after they saw the movie and didn't want to release it at all, but were contractually obligated to do so. They vowed never to work with Lucas again (HA). Fox released Star Wars in a few (50 or so) theaters nationwide in 35mm MONO (only major cities got 4-track sound) because they thought it was going to lose money. After articles started popping up about "the phenomenon" of the sci-fi movie the kids were going back to see again and again, Fox realized the box office wasn't declining, it was going up or staying steady. Major theater chains also noticed & started begging Fox for prints. As far as the music; John Williams had his misgivings after hearing Lucas' ideas, but believed in him enough to deliver the now classic score., Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Who else comes close in composing music?

[@DS8379]
