I know there's already a thread dedicated to the top 10 favorite Star Wars music on this section of the forum. But now, how about a top 20? It might be hard for some to choose as there are more possibilities and it took me some time to make my own list. But here it is below.
Before I list a quick twenty off the top of my head, let me be pedantic for a moment: I've seen a lot of folks using the term "songs" to refer to their favorite Star Wars music. Songs have words being sung; most Star Wars score is orchestral music with no lyrics being sung (leaving the DOTF argument aside - there's a very old thread here somewhere about that). The score that John Williams writes has cues written for particular scenes in the films. On the soundtrack album (CD/LP/digital download), the score is broken into tracks, which may or may not exactly follow the cues from the score. This Public Service Announcement is brought to you by halibut. Twenty Favorite Tracks/Cues: 1. The Hologram/Binary Sunset 2. The Throne Room/End Title 3. Goodbye Old Friend 4. The Battle Of Hoth 5. The Battle Of Yavin 6. The Battle Of Endor II (includes The Dark Side Beckons) 7. The Emperor Arrives/The Death Of Yoda 8. The Imperial March 9. Confrontation With Count Dooku And Finale 10. Duel Of The Fates 11. The Asteroid Field 12. Yoda And The Force 13. Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan 14. The Moisture Farm 15. Rescue From Cloud City/Hyperspace 16. The Jedi Steps And Finale 17. The Millennium Falcon/Imperial Cruiser Pursuit 18. Lament (Anakin's Betrayal - Order 66) 19. The Dune Sea Of Tatooine/Jawa Sandcrawler 20. Tales Of A Jedi Knight/Learn About The Force 21. Qui-Gon And Darth Maul Meet 22. Kylo Ren Arrives At The Battle/The Abduction/The Resistance (FYC) I guess I can't count very well. I didn't even have room for Faking The Code or Into The Trap.
