Is the musical cue for Binary Twin Sunset derived from some other piece or was it a 100% unique creation? Because, still, to this day it is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard.

I assume you’re talking about the Force theme and not William’s first attempt at the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYXLmHmTrzU

I don’t know if the Force theme had its inspiration in an earlier piece, that would be interesting to learn.

No, the specific cue for Binary Sunset. The entire theme (and score) are tremendous but the cue used for the Binary Sunset, with the single instrument leading and bringing in the whole orchestra as Luke looks up gives goosebumps every time. Ending it with a woodwind playing the Rebel Fanfare just further shows what an amazing job Williams did on this film.
