John Crichton 4 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Two iconic Williams classics. Not much more need be said. vs. 2nd round polls will be open 3 days initially, since that's when pretty much all the votes in the 1st round were. If they're close I'll extend it to 5 days.

Charlie Brigden 5 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The Force Theme. I love ET, but outside of the usual tearfest, it's never connected with me in such a profound way as The Force Theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,602 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 This one is hard.But I would have to go with the Force Theme. More original, and has more of an impact on me.But this one's really hard. For me, it's like 49,5 : 50,5 (Flying Theme : Force Theme). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 5,520 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Force theme. One of the most haunting themes in film score history, and probably the best SW theme along with Leia's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 E.T. because it's really hard to decide and the Force theme is going to win anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 152 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The Force Theme. Although it has a slight advantage, as JW has had 6 films to really play with it and give us tons of awesome variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 73 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The Force theme. It is a perfect theme in every way, and I think it'll probably end up winning the tournament after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST-321 4 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The Force Theme is fantastic. So versatile and moving. It is my favorite from all of the Star Wars scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 It's good, but the best theme of the Star Wars Sextology is the stirring Boba Fett motif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,391 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I've voted for the Force Theme, but the statement of the Flying Theme when E.T. and the kids take flight after the chase is about as good as movie music gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSM 85 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Force theme. It's much more versatile and more powerful. More original also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF1_freeze 104 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Of course the force theme (I will quote now an earlier post of me partially^^)This is the most developed Star Wars theme and i think a perfect example what you can do with a music theme just through new arrangements.Check out:Episode IVhopeful and sentimental version: Dawn at the Lar's Farmmystic version: Scene in Obi Wans hood on Tattooineepic coronation version: Throneroom celebrationEpisode Vlonger mystic version: End of TESBEpisode VIepic dramatic version: Death of the Emperorepic sad version: Burning of VaderEpisode Isad and powerful version: Anakin's Goodbyesad version: Mix of Force Theme with Funeral MarchEpisode IIepic departing version: departing coruscantepic battle version: Gunship at Battle of GeonosisEpisode IIImilitaristic epic battle version: Start of Episode 3militaristic lush approaching version: Going to Utapauepic dramatic choral version: Battle of the HeroesOnce again hopeful and sentimental version: Ending of Episode3That's of course just a small overview and maybe you can add additional versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,476 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 In ROTJ right after Luke throws his lightsaber away and he's become a Jedi, there's this subtle fantastic statement of the Force Theme. I love the Flying Theme, but it doesn't make the hairs stand quite as well as the theme from SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 152 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I love the unreleased variation in RotS when Obi-Wan arrives at Outapou (sp). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 388 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I love the Flying Theme, but it doesn't make the hairs stand quite as well as the theme from SW.For me, there's little else in cinema that can quite replicate the frisson of excitement I feel when E.T. and Elliot take flight, and the orchestra erupts in exultation.
