Gotta love those polls!

 

[Oomoog the Ecstatic 314]

3:12 of this piece is the best thing perhaps John Williams has ever written. 3:12 - 4:00 of this rendition. It's the most iconic thing I've ever heard, Star Wars universe or not.

 

You have two different themes going at once, and it brings to life the sheer imaginative genius of Williams, as well as every element of fantasy that Star Wars provoked my mind. An absolutely Untouchable atmosphere.

 

3:12 to 4:00

 

I don't have my full ranking for Original Score, but I know the top 3 are:

1 - A New Hope, because it invented it all and has the best renditions. So many genius moments of creative leimotif and orchestration, I can list them out

2 - Empire Strikes Back, among its best is when Yoda's Theme in the End Credits replaces the main theme, hitting the peak of High Adventure music

3 - Return of the Jedi, many great smaller themes. Williams during these three periods was very Mussorgskian, creating very out-of-the-box yet catchy themes. Unortunately, Williams as my favorite composer of all time, started losing that element some decades later
