    "Without John Williams, bikes don't really fly. Nor do brooms in Quidditch matches. Nor do men in red capes. There is no Force. Dinosaurs do not walk the Earth. We do not wonder. We do not weep. We do not believe. John, you take our films, many of them about our most impossible dreams, and you make them real for billions of people."
    -Steven Spielberg on John Williams

    This is my favourite cue from any of the Star Wars movies, ever. Absolutely beautiful piece. It reprises several of the key motifs from the movie, draws them together (with some novel bridging material) and unifies all the emotional arcs - sadness, defeat, love, hope - into a determination to meet the future and its unknown challenges. Brilliant, brilliant composition.

    Okay, here's why Williams' Star Wars soundtracks are so well done.
    The musical cues that begin this piece are the same as the fanfare from A New Hope in the medal scene, but muted and somber obviously. Good callback, use it for another movie's finale but the tone is wildly different.
    Second, the ESB soundtrack as a whole is the most perfect and cohesive example of the music acting as a character as well as echoing the storytelling. Sheer brilliance.

    There are many great composers, and some who can weave in more subtext and complexity, but nothing can rival the sheer purity of Williams. He tackles the central themes with such elegance and straightforwardness, the rises and falls mirror the fluctuations of the human spirit and go directly into your soul. He can tell you the whole story with a few notes and motifs. Other composers create tracks to frame and provide backdrop to the movies. Williams’s tracks ARE the movies. It is in this regard that he is unparalleled and is not only an icon of music and cinema, but of humanity itself.
    I still recall the first time I heard the theme from Jurassic Park in its entirety. It was almost a religious moment. For a brief moment, it felt as if I glimpsed the meaning of the struggle of life. Which of course was an underlying theme of the movie. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that way again.
