Vader & Luke duel in ROTJ. Although the acting in this part wasn't that good, the score is superb.

When Yoda lifts the x-wing out of the swamp. Gives me the chills.

ANH- Right before the Death Star blows up... tense!

ESB: "Clash of the Sabers", and right before the end credits. And the Imperial March. And "The Asteroid Field".

ROTJ: Luke's revelation to Leia. During that scene, the "Luke and Leia" theme plays, and it's just great. Also, when Luke charges at Vader, and when Anakin dies.

The sequence where Luke frantically fights Vader over the threat of him turning Leia to the Dark Side. I love, love, love that scene because of the music.

Definately the climax of the last Vader/Luke duel where Luke cuts off Vader's hand, the choral part there is awesome. Beyond that, Vader's funeral pyre, with the transition from that into the Victory Celebration.

Umm, all of it? happy

ANH, When Obi-wan spots R2. The Binary Sunset cry ... Can't remember!

ESB, Well this was when Darth Vader's theme was introduced, I mean come on!

ROTJ, When Vader falls back against Luke's attack on the Death Star, of course. The Victory Celebration always makes me smile, and Vader/Anakin's funeral burning always makes the tears flow!

In RotJ when Vader and Luke are in the hanger there is a short segment of music which is just a picilo being plucked. Simple but very effective for the scene.

The scene when Luke is watching both suns set. It's very powerful and says a lot with just the music and the whole look to it. The only scene in all the movies that comes close to this one is the ending in ROTS.

Return of the Jedi-when Luke delivers his final onslaught against hi father. Thier silhouettes cast against the whirling red and green glow of thier lightsabers. John Williams' haunting and beautiful score with the soft choir echoing an almost cooing sound. Not bombastic, but more powerful than any other piece of music in the original trilogy, in my opinion of course.

I'll add my voice to the choruses for the ANH binary sunset scene and theme. Stunning and emotionally evoking.

And in ESB with the Falcon racing back for Luke...teetering balance of good and evil. John Williams is the man. wink

nerd cool
