Star Wars Celebration 2022: John Williams Full Concert - "Obi-Wan Kenobi" Score Premiere

[@michaelschiessl8357]

I hope these people in attendance can appreciate how rare it is to have John Williams conduct an Orchestra and play these wonderful themes..live and in person!! Enjoy his brilliance while we can folks...

[@katurah33]

I agree with you 100%. I might add that I hope with all these movies and shows by George Lucas coming up he'd already have John Williams working on more themes because after all he is 90 years old and who knows how much longer he'll be around in spite of a recent clear colonoscopy.

[@phillipc4460]

So. Right.

[@gailedwards589]

I was there!!! Without a doubt, I know how fortunate I was to be there in the presence of greatness! On my way home, I met a violinist who is in this orchestra. She said they had a different conductor for rehearsals, but once John Williams was conducting, the music came alive! I have NO DOUBT! I was in tears the entire performance. When John Williams said, “this next one is not Star Wars, but I think you will recognize it,” I KNEW it was Indy! And I cried even more! Then we got to see Harrison Ford! Best experience OF MY LIFE!

John Williams is just as responsible for Star Wars' success as George Lucas!

[@OtinadProductions]

Definitely

George Lucas will be the first to tell you that.

STAR WARS and Indiana Jones.

[@SkullZThe_Skeleton]

Not only did he do the new obi wan theme indiana jones and imperial march, BUT HE ALSO DID THE PS3 STARTUP SOUND. This is why John is the goat.

[@lbmakescontent]

The PS3 startup sound is just a recording of an orchestra tuning before recording or playing something.

[@SkullZThe_Skeleton]

@@lbmakescontent it was a joke my guy I already knew that

[@thefrozenone417]

John Williams was the soundtrack of my childhood. To this day music fills me with JOY! I will always remember the day that my beloved piano teacher handed me a copy-recorded tape of the Star Wars soundtrack. I listened to over and over and over in my bedroom and it opened a window to a musical world I had never imagined. Music shapes children’s lives, may we never forget it. God save the king! Happy Birthday John Williams. 🎂

[@IsraelNowIsraelForever]

With ONE note, everyone cheered. That shows how good Mr. Williams is.

[@RedCaio]

John Williams is the best, I just had to immediately make a piano version. May the Maestro continue to give us these great pieces :) Happy 45th Star Wars bday

[@ruadhrose]

It’s even more amazing when you realize John Williams literally put this composition together in about 2 weeks…🤯

[@c.w.simpsonproductions1230]

One of my greatest regrets from Celebration 2017 was being unable to be in the room for John Williams’s tribute to Carrie Fisher. Thank the force fate gave me a second chance to see this legend preform in the flesh. It was an experience like no other.

[@paulinaarraut547]

When he passes the world and film industry will NEVER be the same. #LEGEND

[@lukasky03]

Note the time this legend takes thanking and acknowledging the musicians at the end. That says everything about him.

[@themoonisjustthebackofthesun]

I would have been sobbing from the chills of being able to witness a live concert by John Williams. What a legend

[@margroningen]

The fact that this great composer is still composing new music, is fantastic to say the least. His newer soundtracks are as good as the ones from 40 years ago: Lincoln, War Horse, The Post and Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker. The best of the best.

[@willkomnath2560]

Thanks for posting all of this . Much like Mozart and Beethoven, his music will outlive the stories for which it was written and be played for centuries to come.

[@MartinJackson777]

I got goosebumps.💖😭 Thank you Maestro John Williams.🙏🏻

[@henkestenke]

Here I am, a full grown man, bawling my eyes out for the Indiana Jones theme. For me, the memories of these scores are almost as deeply rooted as the smells and tastes of my youth. I think that’s why we react this way. The music of John Williams, and the taste of ripe strawberries are real life time machines. Maestros onion chopping skills are world class.

[@VRichardsn]

One is all it took for everyone to cheer. That is how iconic his music is.

[@sokratisbairaktaris6345]

HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY TO THE ONE AND ONLY JOHN WILLIAMS WHO'S LEGENDARY MUSIC HAS MADE US ALL LAUGH AND SCREAM AND CRY WITH JOY AND HE EMBODIES THE VERY HEART, SOUL AND EMOTION OF STAR WARS. GOD BLESS HIM ALWAYS!!!!!!!!❤️🙏

Getting to see this performance live at Celebration was absolutely incredible. I would have loved go see it from the Celebration stage, but seeing it on the Galaxy stage was amazing too, and I'm just kicking myself knowing I was in the same building as John Williams, Harrison Ford, Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, and Dave Filoni. I still can't believe it!

[@IsraelNowIsraelForever]

I got the chance to see Raiders Of The Lost Ark when it was re-released just before Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull came out. It was amazing, seeing the adventure I had grown up watching on the big screen, and staying through the credits hearing the main theme play in theatres was EPIC.

[@heroldofvortos178]

Man, with the news of Indy and Willow, this year's Star Wars Celebration really celebrated not just star wars, but also as a celebration of Lucasfilm LTD. in a whole!!🙏😊

[@IsraelNowIsraelForever]

Indy's Theme and Marion's Theme were originally two separate pieces, but Steven Spielberg liked them so much, he suggested that John Williams combine them into one. The result is what you hear during the end credits of Raiders Of The Lost Ark.

[@setherfluous]

John Williams performed LIVE at Star Wars Celebration for hundreds of enthusiastic fans the first ever public debut of the Obi-Wan theme, the Indiana Jones theme which led to HARRISON FORD coming onstage to compliment him and talk about Indiana Jones 5, and arguably the most iconic piece of Star Wars music in existence to close things out with a resounding bang. It might be hard to realize considering the past 2 years of the pandemic, but we are living in the best timeline y’all.

[@ZooomaCW]

I loathe KK (as every Star Wars fan should) but her intro of Mr. Williams brought me to tears. He's not gonna be around much longer, this may be his final Star Wars project. What a national treasure. I was fortunate to see him conduct the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a night of movie music, about 3/4 of which was his. I can play any score he's done and enjoy sitting and listening to it. Other classical type music I listen to: none.

I got to see John Williams conduct in 2021 and it was such a bucket list moment. I was maybe 30 feet away from the master. Walked by and touched the platform he conducted on to absorb some of that energy. He performed Star Wars, E.T. and Indiana Jones. What a night!

[@thedevilhimself1728]

I love it, gives me Spider-Man PS4 theme vibes weirdly ahah

[@Blisterdude123]

On the one hand I'm glad people sometimes record this stuff, but on the other, I know deep down it would annoy the hell out of me if I was THERE and all I could see was a wall of fucking phones in front of me.

Sadly, John Williams composed the Obi-Wan Kenobi theme about 45 years late...at the sunset of his prowess...

John Williams is as responsible for the success of Star Wars as Kathleen Kennedy is responsible for its downfall.

I found it to be quite meh and would have never thought John Williams of all composers composed it. I guess the prime days are over. Maybe he's still got something left in Indiana Jones 5.
