Of all the Star Wars soundtracks, this is without a doubt the most difficult from which to choose a favorite. I've grown up with this soundtrack. First, the OST on vinyl, which I got for my birthday in 1977. I got the German Polygram cd version when it came out in the mid-80s. And then this spectacular RCA Special Edition release in 1997. (Due to some silly financial priorities, I didn't get the Anthology until after the SEs.)

It's such a hard decision, but I clicked "The Throne Room/End Title", just barely over "The Hologram/Binary Sunset" and "The Battle Of Yavin".

And just to eliminate any arguments, this is the greatest film soundtrack of all time. happy

The unity in dedication and craftsmanship of this score precludes the selection of one track as the best.

The Cantina Band music is so loveable and always provokes so many memories. Where would the infamous Cantina scene be without its wonderful band playing? dancing

Though I have to say, the opening title wins, completely. I probably should have voted for that... Words can't explain the magnitude of that score. peace

The Battle of Yavin. No other track in the trilogy matches it.

Undoubtedly. I also voted for the Throne Room. There is no part in that track that is in the slightest bit boring or filler. It's just pure fun, and pure Star Wars. When I think of Star Wars, I think of this track.

Oh, this is hard! thinking I love them all! love
But I guess, if I had to choose just one, it'd be The Throne Room/End Title.
It's got a little bit of almost everything. happy
