I cant believe no one is talking about this! Brm It's one of the most recognizable movie openings in the history of history? Or is there something more than that?

It did occur to me just recently that the opening fanfare before the theme really starts is opening of the Throne Room which is also the end of the end title. So the score ends where it begins. (I think I realized this when listening to the end of Rogue One.)

Well, "King's Row" and an inversion of "Born Free", right?

Of all the SW anthems, the first is definitely the best. The opening blast is quite different to the one for Empire and Return, etc. The original has a most satisfyingly balanced brass fanfare, whereas, Empire offers a much heavier bombardment of the opening salvo - it just goes bang without the subtlety of the original. Basically I just prefer the timbre of the original from the LSO. Now, if you really want an argument there's the version from the original LP, which continues on with a splice after the star destroyer flies overhead in the movie, and there's the version from the 1st Matessino back in '97, where the music ended with the star destroyer flyover. I think I prefer the longer original version because, in spite of the splice, it's that momentum going back all those years that packed the punch to give that piece of music its longevity. Edit: there's also tons of potential talk of all the variations from 'take 16' on the '97 album. As I haven't heard them for some time, I'd have to go back and listen to the different constructions to see which were best. They made the right choice with the release version.

For me the "Star Wars main theme" is the Force theme. Love it and never tire of it, unlike the one (over)used in the main title crawl of each film (which I guess is also called "Luke's theme")...that one I get burnt out on. Yavar
