SW: Most iconic of the lot; relaxed, a bit stately & soft in playing- very Korngold / Golden Age vibe.
ESB: Upfront, more "martial" & "militaristic", in your face aggressive; cut from Superman: The Movie sonic cloth.
ROTJ: Refined and elegant, quite classical sounding- got some of that nice slight ambience also found on the Raiders OST.
Prequels: Like a weird amalgam combo of the playing on ESB with the classical centric recording of ROTJ- not really a highlight, more an afterthought.
Anyway, ESB's slightly edges out ROTJ's as far personal preference.
Though not necessarily best, SW's Main TItle is definitive (or whichever resulted from the edited takes put together back in '77).

Oooh... Variation on a theme, but perhaps my fave, "most beautiful" rendition of said theme

$40!!! That's sorta pretty steep. Anything of musical interest? Was JW at least well represented?
(an aside- there were a couple of Indy themed concerts that coincided with last year's expo)
Anyway, perhaps there'll be some SW related performances this year (prolly be a whole lot cheaper for myself to attend potential future SW concerts here than paying a pretty penny for something I've only the slightest interest in).
Maybe these guys will get to perform (their playing seems pretty tight; wouldn't at all mind seeing hearing them live).

Saw a billboard advert for it a weekend (or two) back.
Would care to go maybe if applicable for free admission on Museums Day (though the Indy expo wasn't free during last year's...).
