Happy 90th John Williams!

I love this video of him conducting at the Hollywood Bowl. The audience breaks out the light sabers.

OMG!!!! I started tearing up watching that! (I had just finished watching Luke's theme just before seeing it.) Those are my people! ❤ ❤ ❤ What incredible fun that must have been to be in that audience. ❤

That's a pretty good list of references if a producer ever asks him, 'And what have you done in the past?'

 

[ChrisFL]

One of my favorite gifts I received as a kid was the cassette tape of the "Spielberg Williams Collaboration"....sooo good

 

[BrianL]

That's a pretty good list of references if a producer ever asks him, 'And what have you done in the past?'

Right - that's one heck of a resume, though I think it's been quite some time since a producer asked for Johnny Williams' credentials!

 

[Chupaca bruh]

Still my favorite John Williams score and little known by so many. The Reivers 1969.

 

[Skywalker3]

Binary sunset my favo

Leia has her own theme:

Luke has his own theme. This is my favorite scene of all 9 movies. ❤

Binary Sunset is my favorite! I have SOOOOO many favorites. I still have this old 80s cassette of his Greatest hits . My all time, ALL time favorite album (rock, pop, whatever,) is The Empire Strikes Back . Played that over and over and over. ALL of his music is so very remarkable.
