Duel is a great movie piece in a dumb film.

Empire takes what was already the greatest musical score and layers more onto it without sacrifice. The asteroid sequence has great music. And I like that Williams faded back a bit for the snow battle. Letting that walker sound dominate most of that was a great choice.

Williams's work in the prequels is top notch, especially in Phantom. People just tend not to notice it because, well, what Strat said.

Okay, here is our first look at a proper clip from the movie, albeit a short one.

Don't worry about spoilers as the scene has featured very heavily in the trailers and TV spots. Nice to hear some dialogue and new score too.

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.

Brysons book on Shakespeare 'all the worlds a stage' is one of the best bios you'll ever read.

This thread is pissing me off.

If you read the opening crawl today, there is most likely some info there that we do not know currently. How is that not a goddamn spoiler?

Duel of Fates is a mediocre piece of work by John Williams that also happens to be in 2 or three very shitty movies.

There is only one way to settle this. We must rank the John Williams movie songs.

Imperial March
Star Wars
Superman
Raiders of the Lost Arc
Jaws
Most other SW songs
ET
whateverelse
