    Personally I don't really listen to the unused cues that much (since they weren't in the final film I have a harder time associating images with them), so I don't mind that they aren't in the TPM UE.

    The only unused cue I really like was Tatooine Rendezvous from ROTJ, and only because it was used in one of the deleted scenes.

    There are a few parts of the Battle of Hoth Medley that are nice too.

    The Empire Strikes Back is definitely the best score, but I gotta say, The Phantom Menace had a really great score also...probably, my second favorite...

    You'd probably be surprised to know how many unused cues/sections/bits you listen to, without realizing they don't appear in the films. Lots of tiny bits are cut for editing reasons (and aren't in the TPM UE)

    I've always considered ROTJ to be my favorite movie, and I think it's also the most evolved of the OT scores. A New Hope brought us an amazing amount of music, and TESB brought us one of the most iconic pieces of movie music ever written (The Imperial March), but that theme seems to overshadow everything in the score. Looking back at the OT scores, in TESB, it's tough to find a track where The Imperial March doesn't make some kind of appearance. Of the PT scores, I have to say that I prefer ROTS, but really wish we'd gotten a full release of the music from that film. The score's good, but I feel like there's a fair amount missing.

    Even if Empire just had the Asteroid Chase theme over and over it would probably still be my favorite of the six films score-wise! :p It does have a number of other great tracks though, e.g Han Solo and the Princess, Yodas force theme (I cant remember the exact name) and Lando's Palace, which I'm strangely fond of for some reason. The Phantom Menace actually comes a close second for me though, it has a surprisingly good score, with some highlights being Anakins theme and the obvious Duel of the Fates.

    As much as I didn't like the way the Anakin/Padme romance was handled in AOTC, the "Across The Stars" theme that accompanies it is epic!

    The Empire Strikes Back for me. "The Asteroid Field," "Han Solo and the Princess," "The Imperial March," "Yoda and the Force," "The Clash of Lightsabers," "Rebel Fleet/End Credits" all rank amongst my favorite pieces of music in any movie ever, let alone any Star Wars movie.

    I have to go with The Empire Strikes Back. It is not my favourite movie not because I don't like I happen to like The Phantom Menace the most. But the music of Empire just takes me away!! Such beautiful music. In the winter during snow storms I always listen to the Hoth battle music...

    I agree, Lando's Palace is an underrated gem of music.

    I think RotS has the overall best soundtrack of the saga, but i like Duel of the Fates from TPM, and Vader's Imperial March theme from ESB. Across the Stars was good too.

    It’s really hard to choose, since I love the first two so much, but, in the end, I have to give it to EMPIRE. I mean, for one thing, it has “The Imperial March”, so I can’t help but like it. Pretty much every track on here is a masterpiece, really. It seems, to me, to be the richest and most mature of his SW scores.

    With that said, both STAR WARS and EMPIRE would be among my Top 10 Favorite All-Time Scores (SUPERMAN would also be in there, with RAIDERS just barely missing out).

    As a complete soundtrack I'd say Empire is my favorite, with ANH only slightly behind. As a single track it's probably "Across the Stars" that is my favorite SW music. But I also like "Battle of the Heroes", "Princess Leia's Theme", "Duel of the Fates" and "Luke and Leia" a lot. Really difficult to say, as every single episode has great music.

    Revenge of the Sith for me. Battle of the Heroes and Padme's Ruminations are certified CLASSIC imo

    I would have to say Revenge of the Sith I know the originals are classic and give Star Wars its trademark style however, that soundtrack was extremely fitting and really atmospheric. Padme's Ruminations in my personal opinion is one of John Williams best tracks for the Star Wars movies. Empire Strikes Back and ANH make a close second for me though a very close second. I really have a hard time deciding on which one like best because five the six can be my favorite on any given day. The only exception being AOTC not that it was bad it actually was great Across the stars is really beautiful however, the amount of iconic tracks for that one is a little less in my opinion.

    I'd have to go with Revenge of the Sith as it is the most emotional for me and the only album I remember buying right when the film came out in 2005. I think it is far superior to the other prequel films with the exception of Anakin's Theme and Duel of the Fates. As a whole, however, it is far superior. Don't get me wrong, I have a soft spot for the original trilogy tunes, but the one I find always going back to, is this one.
