Hmmm. I must confess I haven't listened to them all . . . . Of the ones I can remember TFA Tintin AI Harry Potter 1 RotS Book Thief Harry Potter 3 AotC

Force Awakens beats them all.

Hmm, Return of the Jedi and Empire Strikes Back had some great cues that sort of mixed the "dazzling complexity" with the thematic stuff. I also really liked the Tintin action cues, especially "Falcon Chase" and the pirate battle.

I'm torn apart with torn apart. Maybe I'll do an edit and mix the two. . . . For Ways of the Force I go with the FYC because I listen to it especially because the X-Wing attack cue on it is MUCH better than the concert Scherzo track. The Scherzo seems like they just put Luke's theme in there every second bar. The FYC reserved it and used it in really nice spots.

I've really been wanting to learn this on piano but it's not been officially released . . . does anyone have it?

Agreed. When Williams puts Poe and Finn's themes (motifs) together in the credits they really blend well, better than the Force theme and Rey's mixing together IMO. Hopefully there will be more Poe in the next film.

Empire. Asteroid Field, Hoth, and Could City win it. A New Hope comes second with Imperial Attack, Chasm Crossfire, TIE Fighter Attack, and Yavin.

Every statement of Poe's theme. I Can Fly Anything as they blow up the laser cannons, The Resistance as he goes on a 10 kill streak, and The Journey Home as he flees the Starkiller with the rest of the Squad. Poe's theme is my favourite theme in the movie. The first horn phrase when the Star Destroyer eclipses Jakku. Rebel Fanfare at the Falcon reveal. The Rebel Fanfare is a great theme and it was used really well here. The opening of The Resistance. My favourite scene with some great music. Kylo's theme as he lands on Takodana. The Abduction as Finn runs screaming "Rey! Rey!" The first 1:20 of Ways of the Force on the FYC. Pretty much Scherzo for X-Wings but IMO better as it saves Luke's theme for some great moments. A great scene too as the X-Wings attack the trench. Poor Ello Atsy . . . Kylo's second theme (6 notes, triplets I think, followed by a note a semitone below) as he shows up in the forest on Starkiller. Han and Leia's theme at the end of The Journey Home. Honestly the only moment in the score that makes me tear up when listening to it.

This track really grew on me too. I don't like it as much as the beginning of Ways of the Force on the FYC but it's still pretty good. Honestly I think the only bad part of it is Luke's theme. It takes away from the other scoring. That's why I like the FYC version, it only has a few statements of Luke's theme and in good spots. Also, sort of OT, but do i hear Escape From Naboo right after the first time Luke's theme plays in the FYC version?

Agreed! Great movie, I love it! Speaking of which: Does sound a bit like March of the Resistance.

Forgot about that one! It's really good.

No shame! That's a great arrangement, wish I was skilled enough to play all those sixteenth octaves. *Gets back to TIE Fighter Attack and Rey's Theme*

Zaralyth you're leaving BC fot New Zealand? would you please leave the FYC behind for me please . . . .

Just rewatched a New Hope. This section at 0:46 really stood out for me. Amazing scoring!

Wait, where's the full post? I need this in my life. Are there posts like this with all the themes in all the films?

I just got the book of the Star Wars trilogy but I think I might have to pick this up too!

1. Right after Red leader says "I'll cut across the axis and try to draw their fire!" And the X-Wings dive in we get a resounding fanfare of the beginning of Ben's theme. 2. EP III opening scene 3. Burning homestead

Key word almost. If you listen to escape from Naboo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBnkO3_yYso) you can sort of hear a few of the notes right near the beginning.

1. Luke's theme - I like it best when it's played slowly or in a minor key, like in Luke's first scene or when he's on Dagobah. 2. Ben's theme/force theme. 3. Rebel Fanfare - not really a theme but a motif. I love it, and also I love most scenes that it's played in. It even almost makes an appearance in all 3 prequels with the escape from Naboo track right at the beginning, used in AotC as the Clones Arrive and as the big ship starts to crash in RotS. 4. Rey's theme. 5. Resistance Theme 6. Imperial Theme 7. Yoda's theme 8. Han and Leia's theme 9. Leia's theme 10. Across the Stars

1. I Can Fly Anything 2. March of the Resistance (or The Resistance on FYC) 3. The Scavenger 4. Kylo Ren Arrives at the Battle 5. Scherzo for X-Wings I would pick attack on the Jakku Village but that's in the first track . . .

1:18 of "I Can Fly Anything" It Introduces Poe Dameron's flying theme in a great way.

That note at 4:47 (play from about 4:40 to get the idea) as they cut to Tatooine is beautiful. This kind of brassy chord appears lots in older movies on the last shot before a scene change, examples Horatio Hornblower and John Wayne movies like Flying Leathernecks. I wish more modern movie scores had these kinds of notes.
