John Williams, man. John Fucking Williams. When George Lucas was making Star Wars, nobody really understood it. The actors didn't get it, the studio didn't get it, Lucas' friends, great filmmakers in their own right didn't get it (apart from Spielberg). But John Williams got it. Oh boy did he get it. Oh I'm sure he was as confused as anyone as to what a Wookiee was but understood the essence of what Lucas was making and he didn't just give Star Wars its score, he gave Star Wars its soul.

[@AbadyonYT]

So true. I'd go even as far as saying that largely, if it weren't for his music, Star Wars wouldn't have become what it is today.

[@jkocher6973]

Imagine if Lucas had gone in the 'pop music' direction a la 'Flash Gordon' featuring the music of 'Queen.' Yikes!

[@DielsonSales]

@@AbadyonYT You can really see how the classics always have great scores. That's because great classics are real art, not just something assembled to make money on a theater following a formula.

[@Hibernicus1968]

@@AbadyonYT I agree, and lots of people forget that in the 1970s, when this was made, grand, sweeping, orchestral scores were very much out of fashion in cinema. This movie, and the truly magnificent score Williams wrote for it, were largely responsible for reversing that trend.

[@thestig560]

I believe, without any doubt, that if the Star Wars films go out of fashion, or even if film itself becomes an outdated medium, John Williams's scores and suites from "Star Wars" will survive in the popular symphonic repertoire. Consider the way operas like "William Tell" are rarely staged today, let alone experimental hybrid works like "Candide," but their overtures and symphonic suites are indispensable.

[@Desni973]

in 100-200 years John Williams will be consider to be in the same room as Mozart or Beethoven in the eyes of people, that's a fact.

[@robertosoares255]

In my opinion he is a step further than those, mozart and beethoven composed music only, but John is both a music master, and a cinema genius, he knew how to perfectly convey emotions for movies, all these movies just wouldnt be the same without him, he knows more than anyone else how to put the characters emotions into music

[@JM-ji9kx]

@@robertosoares255 Really dumb comment. John Williams understands film theory, impressive. It really is. He's the best ever at composing music for film. Beethoven composed music as a deaf man and Mozart finished his entire legendary body of work before the age of 35. Also just as a side note both Beethoven and Mozart composed music for operas and plays, which were the movies of the time. We can go back and forth all day about who is more impressive but the bottom line is this...John Williams and the many other talented composers of the last couple centuries learned heavily from Beethoven and Mozart, not the other way around. That's what people who compare the past with the present and try to belittle historical figures don't understand. Those in the past didn't have centuries of hindsight and accumulated knowledge (not to mention advances in technology) to build on in order to master their craft. I mean, the violin as we know it hadn't even been around that long by the time Mozart was born.
