In the Star Wars soundtracks, where can I find the sound of a French Horn?

    I'd hate to speak for dear old Adolphe but I believe the Saxophone was intended to be an orchestral instrument regardless of it's current status. If it's good enough for Berlioz and Wagner who isn't it good enough for?

    Well if your a French Horn player, I would think you would know when there was a french horn part in any of the SW movies, but thats just me. Cause thats how I could tell when there was or wasnt. I don't think this helped much on your behalf, but now it sounds like im full of myself, well uh..bye!

    Sax is used in "Jedi Rocks".

    'Course, that scene is also an exercise in pure pain...but you asked :)

    The perfect example of a French Horn in the SW soundtrack is the first time we hear Luke's theme (that is, the so-called Main Theme) in ANH ("Luke! Luke?").

    Also, when we hear Luke's theme during the Death Star shaft swinging scene (aka "The Swashbucklers"), the French horn is the solo instrument playing the bridge.

    Where is there a French horn at the end of Empire?
