There are, of course, too many to name

STAR WARS

  • The Dune Sea
  • Binary Sunset
  • The Cantina Band
  • TIE Fighter Attack
  • Leia’s Theme is pretty

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

  • The Asteroid Field
  • Han and the Princess
  • Lando’s Palace
  • Yoda’s Theme
  • I guess the Imperial March has to be on here too

RETURN OF THE JEDI

  • Sail Barge Assault
  • Jabba’s Theme (and also his Baroque Recital)
  • Alliance Assembly
  • Luke and Leia is actually pretty good
  • Into the Trap
  • Light of the Force
  • and yes the Emperor’s Theme is very good, and the Forest Battle Suite is a nice collection

THE PHANTOM MENACE

  • Duel of the Fates obviously
  • The Swim to Otoh Gunga
  • The Droid Invasion
  • Augie’s Great Municipal Band

ATTACK OF THE CLONES

  • Across the Stars
  • The Chase Through Coruscant

REVENGE OF THE SITH

  • Battle of the Heroes is good

THE FORCE AWAKENS

  • Rey’s Theme is one of the most wonderful pieces in all of Star Wars
  • Han and Leia is a nice one
  • Scherzo for X-Wings
  • The Jedi Steps
  • March of the Resistance and the villains’ theme is good too

THE LAST JEDI

  • Rose’s Theme is good, wherever that is
  • Canto Bight, despite being a dumb sequence in the film, is sooooo good

The other soundtracks I have barely heard, if it all, so I can not comment on those. I am sure they have some good stuff.

You actually mention all the music I like. Last week I watched a few movies one more time, and I still liked the music when I heard it for the first time.
But I’d also add Throne Room to the list, and it’s perfect. I love music, and I think it makes everything better. Especially when it comes to films because I believe that good music can improve the general impression of the picture. I’m working on one paper about music, and that it’s actually the main idea of it. I’ve found some other ideas on https://studymoose.com/free-essays/music where I read a few really interesting essay examples which actually provided me with those ideas. And I also want to choose one song and describe it, and I think it will be something from Star Wars.

Besides pretty much this, I really enjoyed the Solo soundtrack which is my favorite from the Disney films. The only pieces I didn’t like were the weird tribal tracks for those bad guys whose name I don’t remember anymore. Haven’t seen the film since 2018. Otherwise the music is very adventurous and captures the SW feel.

And in the time of greatest despair, there shall come a savior, and he shall be known as the Son of the Suns.

-Was there any new original theme in this movie?

Gotta give an honorable mention to Bea Arthur’s song in the Holiday special. “Just one more round friend…”

You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll kiss three bucks goodbye!
