John Williams' Star Wars scores are just as iconic as the movies. Here are 10 of the composer's best Star Wars themes and what they signify.
John Williams is as much a cornerstone of the Star Wars franchise as George Lucas himself. Music is an integral part of any cinematic experience – it has the power to create tension where there is none, cultivate a sense of wonder and joy, and thematically connect characters across installments.
8 Rey’s Theme Like the Star Wars legacy characters that came before her, Rey deserved a theme all her own, and Williams delivered in spades. “Rey’s Theme” encapsulates the journey she would embark on in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, starting as a lonely, yet kind scavenger on Jakku to become one of Star Wars’ most prolific and important heroes. “Rey’s Theme” captures the character’s empathy and curiosity as well as her determination and courage as she becomes the new hope of the Jedi.
5 The Jedi Steps and Finale No list of John Williams’ best Star Wars compositions would be complete without including the instantly recognizable finale music that always plays over the start of the credits, but “The Jedi Steps” prelude that accompanies it in The Force Awakens is so powerful that it needed to be included, too.
