Gorilla: It is common knowledge that Star Wars is the greatest cinematographic achievement of all time. One key feature for the success of the saga is the powerful and stunning music birthed from John William's wonderous noggin. The astounding music was prevelant throughout the first three installments, but in the new additions, John Williams really stepped it up. Two of Williams' accomplishments in the newer trilogy are atop my list of the best Star Wars songs, however, I can't decide which is better. The first mindblowing tune roared during the battle between our Jedi heroes, Qui Gon Jin and Obi Wan Kenobi, and the double lightsaber wielding sith, Darth Maul. This song is, of course, Duel of the Fates from Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Duel of the Fates reigned supreme for six years until Revenge of the Sith was released in May of 2005. Revenge of the Sith concluded with the ever so epic battle between Obi Wan and Anakin. The song that sang the tragic and mournful tune during this fight was Battle of the Heroes. Battle of the Heroes amazingly croons the several emotions of the turmoil that is spilling throughout the galaxy.
Both of the songs (Duel of the Fates/ Battle of the Heroes) are tremendous accomplishments and are currently tied for the best Star Wars compositions. Please share your opinion on which should be number 1.
