Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 If Williams had written star trek he may have ended not doing star wars so that's a no-no for me.... crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Star Wars would have been better with a score by Lalo Schifrin anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
