If you listen to the alternate takes on the Star Wars main title in the Binary Sunset (Alternate) track, earlier versions began the main title without a single chord, but two notes that clearly sound like the verbal phrasing of 'Star Wars'.

Yes I've noticed this. Also many of Williams 60s scores include a main title song, so it's probably a habit of his that comes from this.

Which British composer would you like to see compose for London '12?
Morn replied to BLUMENKOHL's topic in General Discussion
Michael Nyman, there is no better British composer. He is if you go back enough generations. -
I don't think Williams has dumbed down his approach at all. Quite the opposite. He's clearly matured and learnt more of his craft. He had already mastered melody and harmony in the 70s and 80s, yet his scores of the 90s and 00s show far more skill with orchestration and rhythm. His music has become more complex and interesting to the ear. I would have to say Forward To Time Past from Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban. The originality of this atmospheric piece with dissonant harmony and instruments recorded and played back in reverse. I don't think anyone has done a more brilliant musical depiction of time travel.

What ever happened to him, he used to be a regular on the filmtracks forum. A major film music geek like much of the rest of us! -
Spielberg: "Indy IV was George Lucas' idea"
Morn replied to Elmo Lewis's topic in General Discussion
So, basically, what he's saying is: "I took what was once a cultural filmatic icon with classic tales (not so much the second installment) and turned the lead into a second rate characature, and joke. I'm proud of it!" Umm, Indiana Jones was never meant to be a serious movie. It's an action flick with comedy and adventure, it was always about jokes and characature. There is nothing about the nuke scene that doesn't fit within the essence of Indiana Jones. It is no more ridiculous than a mysterious ark that melts people or a thousand year old crusader who can't cross a line or riding a submarine like a horse in a journey to another continent.
