It is tough for me to rate ANH or TESB higher. I love both equally in all 3 forms. Those being the film score itself, the original soundtrack, and then the complete soundtrack. ROTS is almost as good followed by TPM. I really feel that Williams didn’t achieve the same musical quality in AOTC, ROTS, and TFA. The themes are as awesome as ever, but the music has too many motifs, too much going on and it just sounds jumbled and all the same. It really works with the film, but it doesn’t fit the earlier feel. Now, these are Williams scores so they are all excellent, but the last 3 aren’t quite as good.
