The Music

Star Wars is synonymous with triumph. Not only for the story, but for the music. Whenever you hear the main title theme, you can't help but feel a tidal wave of emotions. I can't tell you how many times I have envisioned what the atmosphere will be like on December 17th when the lights go down and we see the familiar blue lettering of "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." And then the classic John Williams score begins. For us hardcore fans, this music has a special place in our hearts. I'd imagine many of us play the soundtracks on our way to work, school, or if we're just at home, because it just feels good. We remember the Force theme playing while Luke is staring out at the twin Suns, the Imperial March synonymous with Darth Vader, Han and Leia's theme that, to this day makes people tear up (as we saw in the first official trailer for The Force Awakens), the Emperor's haunting choral theme, and Luke's heroic theme. All of these songs trigger an emotion in every Star Wars fan that we can't help but smile. John Williams has given us countless classics such as Jaws, Indiana Jones, E.T., Jurassic Park, Harry Potter and so many others. But, without a doubt, Star Wars transcends them all. His ability to make such captivating music that correlates perfectly with what is happening onscreen is nothing short of amazing. I can't wait to hear what he has created for this newest chapter in the Star Wars saga. 

May the Force be with you. Always.
