Thanks to the legendary composer John Williams, Star Wars has an extremely distinctive musical signature. More than that, for generations of moviegoers, the Star Wars sound defines movie music. Brassy orchestral fanfares; sweeping, romantic strings; twinkling glissandos on a harp or celeste, evoking the starry depth of the cosmos. Williams scored all nine Skywalker saga films, and his sound has been carefully imitated by other composers working on Star Wars projects big and small.
