Which movie had the best music?

Which song/theme is your favorite?

Personally, I'm torn between ROTJ and AOTC for best music/soundtrack...and as for best song, it easily goes
1- Imperial March
2- Anakin and Padme love them
3- Duel of the Fates

and kudoes to the touching music from when Luke burned Vader's body...

Thanks for starting a nice discussion thread, Dushku.

I don't know what my absolute favorites are, but I do know my favorite album is ROTJ...two and a half hours of music from the film where the battle between good and evil came to a head. I vastly enjoy the thirty second piece from ROTJ called (I think) 'The Dark Side Beckons,' where Luke fights Vader and takes off his hand. Of course, the funeral pyre cue is amazing, and Binary Sunset is classic and should be a theme for all restless Midwestern youths.

I won't let nostalgia get in the way and say that Across the Stars was the best of the saga's love themes (far more fleshed out, quite honestly, the Han/Leia theme was great but more subdued). Duel of the Fates was spectacular also, and I feel The Battle of Yavin is the best battle cue that John Williams composed for the saga (though The Arena from ATOC isn't too far from it). I can't pick an all-time favorite...I have to assign favorites by type.
