@mikewatchesmovies: The TOP 10 greatest Star Wars music cues, ranked! John Williams has given us some of the most iconic movie music in cinema history, but which Star Wars themes are truly the best? From The Imperial March and Duel of the Fates to Binary Sunset, Yoda’s Theme, Across the Stars, and some underrated musical gems from The Empire Strikes Back, I'm counting down my 10 personal favorite pieces of music from a galaxy far, far away. These unforgettable orchestral scores have helped define Star Wars for nearly 50 years, bringing the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo, and the Millennium Falcon to life. And my number one choice might surprise you! It's a piece of music I've loved since childhood, and for me, it captures everything magical about Star Wars. What's YOUR favorite piece of Star Wars music? Did I leave out an obvious masterpiece? Let the debate begin! #StarWars #JohnWilliams #StarWarsMusic #FilmScores #5MinutePlus

I wonder if I’m just a John Williams fan and not a Star Wars fan.

The fact that there are multiple themes missing is a testament to how good these scores are. Reys theme, Leia's theme, resistance theme, droid invasion, Kylo Rens theme, Battle of heroes and many more could have made this list and I wouldn't have thought anything of it.

The prequels have fantastic cues that’s easy to miss due to how the music was edited into the film. Dooku, believe it or not, has a theme that you hear throughout AOTC, especially during Obi-Wan’s eavesdropping. “The techno-union army- blerrrrghrugghhherrm-is at your disposal, Count”

I feel like you should do your favorites of each trilogy because I don’t feel like there was enough prequel love.

So many excellent music cues within these films, so hard to choose the top 5. I can’t disagree with your list as nearly each could be the top spot. These bring back nostalgia, excitement, and cements the feelings that I get as the visuals play in my head while I hear the cues.
