      He is one of the greatest in his field. My greatest respect for John Williams, especially as a Star Wars fan. But popularity is not a yardstick by which art should be measured. He is a good composer. But hey, a whole new universe opens up when you look up at The Planets ;) (by Gustav Holst).
      If Bach is still heard after 300 years, Eschenbach is still read after 800 years, that doesn't mean that these are the only works from their time. It means that these works, alongside all the other long-forgotten works, were so significant and memorable that they have survived the centuries. All the works that are popular today would still have to prove that.

    I went to " The music of Star Wars" performed by the Virginia Symphony a few months ago. The conductor came out in a FULL Darth Vader suit (without the helmet of course). He was all the way in during the performance. They also took a few minutes and had a Darth Vader come out with a red lightsaber and everything. The symphonies go ALL the way in to perform Star Wars. I LOVE IT!!!
    I was a little disappointed they didn't perform "Duel of the Fates", but I know it's difficult to organize an ENTIRE choir to show up also. Either way, I'm going EVERY May 4th!!!!!

    Also known as Darth Vader’s theme. During the prequel trilogy, “Imperial March” is played as Anakin Skywalker goes down the path to become Darth Vader. Examples include Anakin avenging his mother Shmi Skywalker-Lars by massacring the Tuskin Raiders, men, women and children alike, and rebuking the Jedi Council for denying him the rank of Master.
    “Imperial March” has also been played at weddings, possibly referencing Anakin Skywalker fostering a romantic relationship with Padmé Amidala. The Jedi are forbidden to foster romantic relationships, as it has been said that romantic relationship leads to the dark side. Hence, Padmé has been criticized for being used as a plot device for Anakin becoming Vader.
