    This is an incredibly difficult question that doesn't have a single, easy answer. There's no score SW fans can almost unanimously agree upon as a favorite, which is why I've enjoyed reading everyone's individual favorites. You can make an argument for each film as each has several classics. But if I had to pick I'd go:

    Star Wars. Part of it is nostalgia I'll admit because I wore the crap out of the original VHS as a kid in the 90s. But imo it has so many essential tracks that have reappeared on multiple episodes and have become staple songs of the SW brand. Here are my favorites:

    -Main Title/Rebel Blockade Runner
    -Tales Of A Jedi Knight/Learn About The Force
    -Cantina Band (1 & 2)
    -The Death Star/The Stormtroopers
    -Ben Kenobi's Death/Tie Fighter Attack
    -The Battle Of Yavin
    -The Throne Room/End Title

    Can that even be answered?

    If I absolutely had to pick though, it'd probably be a three-way tie between Jedi, TPM and ROTS. But they're all amazing, so I don't like ranking.

    Revenge of the Sith.

    In particular because of one very unique theme that stands out from every other one in the film series: Padme's Ruminations.

    The other tracks are superb and remain favourites: Battle of Coruscant (particularly the extended version not heard in the film), all of the Anakin's [noun] tracks, the Qui-Gon/Padme/Vader funerary music with the Sanskrit lyrics, the various iterations of the bombastic GAR and CIS military marches, the whole Jedi-Sith duel suite from the end, and even fairly innocuous yet evocative ones like the Binary Sunset variant that accompanies Obi-Wan setting off to Utapau. All of the Star Wars films have excellent music, but ROTS is simply the one I get the most out of.

    I really love The Pantom Menace, not for Duel of the Fates, but for the lesser known tracks. I really like the Street band of Mos Espa, Qui-Gon's subtle theme, Shmi's theme (which only became her theme in AOTC) and best of Anakin and Group to Coruscant. These quieter moments have just as memorable music as any of the major scenes.

    While I enjoy ESB a lot, the original Star Wars score set the tone for the universe and the characters/their story. I couldn't ask for anything more really. And I see all of those scenes in my head while listening too.

    ROTS barely beats ESB in my book. Personally, I like Battle of the Heroes a little more than Imperial March

    I have to say ROTS soundtrack. OT music is great and all but it's sort of repeated throughout the movies... The PT had more tracks and they were also pretty unique

    I love the orcestralic(?) music of star wars.
    But you can't find royalty free on the web. So I had to go with that on my project

    Edit: Spamming doesn't help.

    I like the Imperial March in ESB, Duel of the Fates in TPM, the love theme in AOTC, and Battle of the Heroes in ROTS. Overall, I suppose my favorite soundtrack would have to be the one for ESB.

    I went with Empire on the strength of The Imperial March and Yoda's Theme, but they're all tremendous.

    Agree.

    There is also the "Yoda's Theme" that's one of my favorites and, I think, "Departure of Boba Fett" that we can also listening at the Shadows of the Empires game for Nintendo 64.

    And for the PT my favorite by far is the TPM sountrack, "Duel fo the Fates" is fantastic and the theme for the battle os Droids is good too.

    Changed my mind, Duel of the Fates is the best. Honestly, this piece is a great work of art: dynamic, fast-paced, dramatic, vibrant, etc.

    Duel of The Fates is the GOAT soundtrack. It you really gave the feeling that in this battle, someone, maybe more, will die. It was awesome.

    The Throne Room is awesome too, and it made the ending to the first Star Wars film that much more memorable.

    I also like the ending to RoTJ (special edition ending song).

    For the classic trilogies I would say A New Hope, Leia'a theme especially and the first time we hear Luke's theme. But that's a hard question though. I love them all. I usually put all of them in my disc changer stereo system at home and listen to them from A New Hope to Return of the Jedi.

    For the Prequels, The Phantom Menace is my favorite. I love Anakin's theme.

    Always a difficult choice as it's like asking what my favourite candy bar is. They're all good. I have favourite tracks from various Star Wars soundtracks. Love Yoda and the Force and The Throne Room. Duel of the Fates is powerful and perfect to play on a Monday morning to wake me up. But purely for sentimental reasons I chose Empire Strikes Back because I remember playing a copy of my friends album that I recorded on to tape and played so much. Takes me back to my childhood - Rob

    I choose TPM because it had more themes I liked.

    Duel of Fates
    Droid Invasion theme
    The theme when Palpatine is talking to Maul
    Space battle/retaking of Naboo
    parade theme

    I like ANH too
    Binary sunset theme
    Trench run
    Throne room theme

    ROTJ has one of my favorite's
    theme when Luke is in rage mode fighting vader: I absolutely love it. The choir vocals are awsome
    the space battle theme is cool too
