  1. There's no doubt in my mind that Williams was given Haab's music and he chose to use some of the ideas therein. In the TROS examples, it's nothing new, since we've all heard plenty of cases of "temp track love" in other Williams scores. And the elements of Haab's music that Williams used were just small moments.

     

    Adventures of Han is a surprise, because Williams was assigned to write the main theme for the film, and that was his main contribution to that score. Williams wrote a whole composition with plenty of significant ideas of his own, but the piece of it that came from Haab's music was integral to the Williams composition. And then by extension Haab's idea appeared throughout the score in variations by Powell. Definitely a more extensive example of musical "borrowing" than what we're used to.
