Uh, Empire. It introduced us to the Imperial March which is the best of the Star Wars songs.

In our lifetime?
I would not at all be surprised to see Episodes 1-3 remade in our lifetime. I highly doubt 4-6 get remade in our lifetime. Or ever, really.
I really hope this happens. I think the story has / had potential to rival or surpass the original trilogy. I mean, no one really likes them anyway, right?

Oh really, George? People don't actually realize that? DO YOU FUCKING REALIZE THAT?

You gave us a cast of characters that we loved. We didn't give a shit about the spaceships, idiot. Is the Falcon, cool? Duh, but we don't give a shit about it if Han Solo isn't flying it. Are light sabers rad? You bet! But if it's not Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan or Vader wielding them, who gives a good goddamn? Leia doesn't have a neat-o pod-racer nor does she swing a saber and you know what? WE LIKE HER AND GIVE A SHIT WHAT HAPPENS TO HER.

Wanna know how I know it's about characters and not spaceships, George? Because you went back to the well and made three NEW movies about characters nobody liked or gave a shit about and then you went and filled the goddamn things with... you guessed it, FUCKING SPACESHIPS!

You went back into the originals and ADDED SPACESHIPS.

It's YOU George Lucas who has no clue what your movies are about. Don't try to throw your fans under the bus or condescend when you clearly don't have any idea what you're talking about.

Really? I think it could be a pretty big spoiler. At the least, it should give us an idea of what happened after the collapse of the Empire, and what has happened to Luke, Leia, and Han in the aftermath.

It's literally going to be the first thing we see as the movie begins. That can hardly be considered a spoiler.

I don't think I'd call that the best. "Binary Sunset", just to name one, strikes me as superior. Honestly, I'd probably even put "Duel of the Fates" above it. And certainly the main theme.

I love the way the teasers/trailers do this..echoes and snips of score themes. Then bang! Into the main fanfare.


I'm excited lads.

Uh, well, if you read it NOW, it could have quite a few spoilers. I think it's rather obvious that once you are in the theater watching the film, it ceases to be a spoiler.

Duel of Fates sucks, but Binary Sunset is indeed good. The Imperial March is better than than the rest though.

Duel of Fates is the Fixer of Star Wars songs. The Imperial March is In My Tree.
