Quickest I've ever felt compelled to transcribe something. This is the french horn solo that opens the piece. Probably the antecedent phrase of a longer melody. Will update as more becomes available!

Since we've extended into choral sounds, I'd add the "exotic" crooning woman vocals.

This. For every instrument mentioned in this thread, I can think of numerous passages that put it to wonderful use. There are plenty of contexts where a given instrument could sound out-of-place, and plenty of contexts where it's exactly the flavor that's needed.

Added Banjo.  I don't like any of the tracks that use this instrument...Reivers,Missouri Breaks and the other Williams "country" scores

(Ahem)
 
Obi-Di, Obi-Da, Obi-Waaaan Brah!
La La La La Obi-Wan
 
In a couple of years
They have built a homestead in the stars
With a couple of droids running in the yard
Of  Beru and Owen Lars 
 
Jabba has some spices in the market-place
Snootles is the singer in the band
Pig nose Guy says "Hey Boy I don't like your face"
And Then he and Walrus Man both lose a hand.
 
Obi-Di, Obi-Da, Obi-Waaaan Brah!
La La La La Obi-Wan
 
And if you want some fun
Sing Obi-Di-La-Wan!
 

"Deraan" in this sentence in Flemish dialect ("eraan" in Dutch) means they're all finished/dead.

I would say that you need a better audience for an Alderaan joke, but, you know, they are all dead.  

New audio interview with Williams and Ma

"I'm told I should be counting in Celsius, which would make me 32" - that's a new one!

Thomas Hooten's tone is so beautifully pure on the studio recording.  But also this is my "home" John Williams sound, as in I consider myself most at home listening to "Long Road to Justice," "With Malice Toward None," "Omaha Beach", etc.  The Copland informed sound.  On the sheet music for "With Malice" he even used the same performance directive that Copland used for the opening of the Third Symphony: "With simple expression."  So you know... I'm predisposed.
 
In Copland's hand:

 
In Williams':

 

Also, and this may be a controversial opinion here, I'd say she's considerably hotter than JW.

Composers have been writing great pirate music for decades before Zimmer came along and started writing bad pirate music.

2nd video - Escape from the Karaboudjan a.k.a. the most gloriously scored punch in cinema history
 
 
This is another one of Williams' stand out action cues from the score. Themes presented are Tintin's heroic theme, Snowy's theme, Sakharine's theme and the Bagghar theme. This is one of the cues where Tintin's heroic theme really gets to shine as he basically becomes an action hero here throwing punches, shooting at bad guys and doing generally heroic things and Williams graces every one of those instances with a bold statement.
 
Other individual moments synced apart from the awesome punch are Tintin shooting at the boat harness, the flare, the ship destroying the boats, the bottles bobbing up and the airplane reveal among others. Williams is also very disciplined as you can see - when Tintin appears his theme appears, where there's a Snowy scene, there is his theme, when a cable to Bagghar is scene that location theme is heard and finally there is Sakharine's theme heard for his villainy.
 
And of course it is all very propulsive and exciting action music!
