I knew Lucas used a lot of temp music for ANH, but I didn’t know he actually considered using it for the finished film. Makes sense though, that’s basically what happened to 2001: A Space Odyssey, and it worked really well there. It’d be quite interesting to see that version of ANH. Wonder if it exists somewhere in the Lucasfilm archives. Either way, it’s pretty fascinating to see any official SW material using classical music like this trailer. I’m also guessing that the 1976 teaser was made before Williams started scoring the movie? The tagline seems to have been part of the movie at that time, so I wonder if the same piece of music was also in the actual film at some point.
