Jesus H. Fucking Christ, the guy left out Dvorák's New World finale... SERIOUSLY??

That's, like, fucking Force Theme for you right there...

 

Then, I'm sure at some point Williams must've heard the overture to Wagner's Tristan and Isolde, because, well, compare:

Not to say that chord combination is totally unique, or was invented there... but come on, tell me that ain't a clear shout-out :D

 

Then, call me crazy, but somehow the Han&Leia theme terribly reminds me of Liszt's Mephisto Waltz no.1... distantly, though.

No single famous composer from the Romantic era? Really?

Just throwing it out there...
