Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 yeah, but its fair to still call it star wars, and differenciate it from the SEs. since appart from that is unaltered and part of the Star Wars (original) trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neimoidian 14 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 People with full brain call Star Wars the movie that was released in 1977 and A New Hope the movie that was released in 1997 and further 'bastardised' in 2004."Episode IV - A New Hope" was added for the 1981 re-issue.NeilOn the other hand, back in 1997 they advertised ANH as STAR WARS.

Neimoidian 14 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 ESB is a solid 4 maybe 4.5ESB is 6. It's the best movie score ever written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 ESB is a hugely different score to SW, but that doesn't make it anything less than a 5/5.ESB is one of the most orchestrally rich scores in the JW catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I don't understand only rating it 4.5 stars because you think ESB is better... Personally, I also think ESB is better, but I still LOVE both scores. They are BOTH 5-star scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Boelen 740 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Same here. I think they're both 5-star scores, even though I like ESB better still. Thankfully I consider more scores to be 5-star material than just my one favourite score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 ESB is a solid 4 maybe 4.5ESB is 6. It's the best movie score ever written.no that would be E.T., ESB is a great but lesser score than Star Wars and ET, Jaws, Superman, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Personally, I also think ESB is better, but I still LOVE both scores. They are BOTH 5-star scores.Yes, I don't understand the sudden, constant need to put down one to put up the other. Both are masterpieces, I have no need to start nitpicking to find a reason that one is better than the other, and that is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 75 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I like ESB more (and ROTJ for that matter) but Star Wars may be the overall better score. I really do think that each score in the OT deserves a five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,200 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 My favourite Star Wars score, a splendid listen from start to finish. It isn't, however admired and appreciated, the Greatest. Score. Ever. though.Superman: The Movie is superior to Star Wars.SW isn't the greatest score ever. But it's far superiour to Superman, which is an average (perhaps 3.5 star) score with several 5 star highlights (I'd rank it a 4 in total).

Personally, I also think ESB is better, but I still LOVE both scores. They are BOTH 5-star scores.That´s the truth (well maybe, ESB is 5,5 stars hehe). And for me Superman and E.T. are also 5 stars. These four are my truly favourites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the best movie score ever written.no that would be E.T., ESB is a great but lesser score than Star Wars and ET, Jaws, Superman, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.Actually I rank both ESB and ET next to each other, with maybe 0.01 point in favour of Empire. Regarding Jaws, Superman and Raiders I put them behind Star Wars in my chart, but it's more like personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,017 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 5 stars. Because it was my first Williams album. Because it made me buy another one. Because it started my love for film music. Because it is unlike the other three (or six). Because it was more important to film music than any other JW score.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 What can be said about this score that hasn't been said already? It is without a doubt one of the film music classics and for me personally one of the greatest scores of all time. I give this music 5 stars without hesitation!

indy4 155 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I gave it 4.5 stars. Not quite as good as ESB, but there are definetly some 5 star moments (Main Theme, TIE Fighter Attack, Throne Room, Cantina Band, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither seem to move the the story forward musically (and I know I will get persecuted for saying that), and neither really offer too much fascinating compositional or orchestrational material. Neither do a great job of incorporating themes or developmental sections.
