In the pantheon of great moving picture scores , few are more recognisable — or beloved — than John Williams ’s iconicStar Warscompositions . Back in 2005 , the American Film Institute even honored it with the top spot on its leaning of the25 Greatest Film Scores of All Time , thump out well - known themes fromGone With the Wind , Lawrence of Arabia , Psycho , The Godfather , andJaws(another Williams ditty ) , in that guild . But the legendary composer , who reserve the most Oscar nominations for a be person ( with a total of 50 ) , does n’t think all that much of hisStar Warsjams .
The AV Clubrecently came across an interview with Williams inThe Mirrorin which the 84 - year - previous got candid about his 60 - year career , which included a couple of startling admissions : namely , that he has never see any of theStar Warsmovies — and that he does n’t consider his work on them to be among his best , despite winning a Best Original Score Oscar for his body of work on the first moving-picture show in the saga .
“ I do n’t know , ” WilliamstoldThe Mirrorof his work on theStar Warsfranchise . “ A lot of them are not very memorable … It ’s believably the most popular music that I ’ve done . ” While seeing his music twin with the action on the bad silver screen might help Williams see his work in a new lighter , we ’re not accommodate our breath that it will happen anytime presently .
“ I have it go . I have not attend at theStar Warsfilms , ” Williams admitted . " When I ’m finished with a moving picture , I ’ve been living with it , we ’ve been dub it , memorialize to it , and so on . You walk out of the studio and , ‘ Ah , it ’s stop . ’ … I do n’t have an impulse to go to the theater and look at it . mayhap some people encounter that weird . ”
The Force is solid with this one .
