ChuckM 1 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 The game was also based on the book, and it borrowed parts of McNeely's book soundtrack (as well as parts of the ESB soundtrack) for the game soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 49 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I don't know of any other book soundtracks. I often wrote or thought about music for books I read in high school. It's something I should get back to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neimoidian 13 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 There was a rumor that plans were made to have Williams "score" the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn.I wouldn't mind if some capable composer wrote such a score, there is no and has never been a chance that it would be Mr. J.T. Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morn 7 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 *cough* if a score of a video game of a book counts. Then I'm sure a score for a movie from a book counts too. Harry Potter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
