    I believe the soundtrack won an Oscar. It deserved it for the love theme alone.

    Oh the asteroids score. Is it me or did the score in the OT stand out way more than it did in the ST? The OT score felt like a sw character of its own.

    Oh and don't forget the approach to Cloud City. Magical. Absolutely spellbinding.
    John Williams will never top that score.

    When it comes to a musicial theme that captures the essense of a character (Darth Vader's villainy), nothing can touch the brilliance of John Williams' Imperial March. Nothing.

    John Williams will always be one of the greatest cinematic composers of all time.

    John Williams is the GOAT & 2nd place doesn't live in the same star system.

    Y'all, this is silly getting sidetracked by these antics. I can't think of any line in ANH from Ford was so horrible that it would derail a thread about ESB. Some people just enjoy lobbing turds into every thread. Let's keep talking about the GOOD in The Empire Strikes Back. Otherwise, maybe someone should create a thread titled: How I Would Have Written Everything Better.

    Is it true that when Luke made out with his sister: it inspired Sinead O'Conner wrote a tribute song about TESB called NOTHING COMPARES TO YOU?

    I'm not a fan of Jedi dogma...
    But those words:
    'I don't believe it'
    'That is why you fail'
    ...over four decades later, it still has the power to move me.

    As a kid I was obsessed with the Falcon, I still am!!!

    This part of TESB was played and rewound probably thousands of times on my Betamax tape.
