   Star Wars is often described as being a ‘space opera’, and Williams’ music has just the right amount of drama required to bring it to life on the big screen, unquestionably operatic in scale, style and longevity as it is. Key to the drama is the tension and release produced by the music’s rhythm, pacing and placement alongside the onscreen action. ...

   As well as rhythms being matched pitch-perfectly to the action on screen, characters and environments are given their own unique melody in Star Wars. This is a device German opera composer Richard Wagner used in his works – called a leitmotif. Tunes like ‘Princess Leia’s Theme’ and ‘Yoda’s Theme’ are stunning, and they recur throughout Star Wars as...

   While we’re on melody, it’s worth drawing attention to the sheer varietythere is in the memorable musical themes for the characters. While Darth Vader’s ‘leitmotif’ is the brooding and, let’s face it, pretty terrifying ‘Imperial March’, which is rhythmically and stylistically reminiscent of the main theme, ‘Princess Leia’s Theme’ is a heart-wrenchi...

   When director George Lucas originally called for a ‘classical’ approach to the music for his epic space saga, John Williams took him at his word and produced a soundtrack that makes any symphony orchestra do what symphony orchestras do best: rich sounds, bold colours, contrasted textures and no end of drama. Williams uses the forces of the orchestr...

   • Main Title, A New Hope. What else could be No. 1? Williams' main theme is Star Wars personified, opening and closing each of the nine Skywalker films. Those blaring horns set the tone for the story to come, and the entire track is a masterpiece, part military fanfare and part swelling adventure theme.
   • The Imperial March, The Empire Strikes Back. "The Imperial March" isn't just an iconic piece of movie music; it might be one of the most well-known melodies in all of pop culture.
   • Duel of the Fates, The Phantom Menace. When Williams returned for the prequel trilogy, he could've coasted on old themes and throwbacks to familiar melodies.
   • Binary Sunset/Force Theme, A New Hope. Every hero needs a theme — and Luke Skywalker gets one of the all-time best. This wistful melody is pure magic, and it pops up throughout the franchise (usually whenever someone uses the Force).
