What's your personal favorite?

Mine: The Binary Sunset from A New Hope (obviousley) or

The Final Duel from Return Of The Jedi. I've watched that scene countless times just to hear the music.

I wonder if Episode III will have something to top these.

Too many to choose from. But if you put a gun to my head and made me choose, you'd be one sick SOB. :) And I'd probably scream out the chorus/orchestra explosion in the final deul of Jedi.

Aside from the obvious answer (Binary Sunset), the ultimate score moment for me comes about a minute or so into The Asteroid Field, where the asteroid theme kicks in for the first time. It works so well with the sound effect of the Tie fighter spinning out of control too!

Aside from the main titles and opening of the end titles from every film, The Throne Room has to take the prize for me. Second would probably be the Emperor's arrival.

For me... The scene where Vader chucks Palpatine down the station's shaft in Return Of The Jedi, and the Force theme comes forth in all it's glory, signifying Anakin's reclaimation and fulfillment of the prophecy...

"The Battle of Yavin", "The Death Star/The Stormtroopers", and the moment when the Imperial March kicks in at the end of AOTC....

......oh - and the choral fireworks as Luke and Vader battle again....but I don't think it has ever been mixed really well on an album....yet....the best version IMO is on the Anthology.....

The best musical bits from each film:

I: Anakin is Free - that incredible playing of the Force theme. That is the bit in the score that truly says "Williams is back, and is still the best", whilst at the same time sending shivers down your spine.

II: Either the end of the film, with the Imperial March and Across the Stars; or that incredible transition fanfare for Kamino

III: Who knows! Lament sounds like it will be a treat though...

IV: Binary Sunset. Has to be.

V: Oh so many! Numerous fantastic statements of the Imperial March (e.g. when Vader enters the Hoth base; when he commands the Starfleet to search the galaxy; when he appears on Cloud City; when he is about to torture Solo; when he is trying to call for Luke telepathically etc.); the AMAZING statement of the Love theme when Solo is being lowered into the carbon freeze; the Asteroid Field; the music when the Millenium Falcoln is being followed by the Star Destroyer and Solo does his "stick to back of bridge" trick; the Hyperspace rythmn. BUT, if I had to pick just one, I would pick the statements of the Force and Yoda's themes when Luke and Vader are dulling and Luke jumps out of the carbon freeze pit 9techincally not in the film, but it should have been....)

VI: The Dark Side Beckons. No contest.

We've done this thread before. And I'm still sticking with "The Dark Side Beckons," from the moment Vader starts chucking things at Luke to when the Millenium Falcon takes off and we cut back to the reactor shaft.

I'm inclined to say 'The Tide Turns' from TPM. I've made an mp3 of just the 'Anakin escapes the starship' sequence, and it's a brilliant little number that packs a punch every time I hear it.
