The Star Wars Theme and Darth Vader’s Theme are know in almost every household. And who made these themes was none other than the wonderful, loveable, John Williams. You may not know it, but he composed a ton of music in iconic movies such as Jaws, E.T., Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, and 3 Harry Potter movies. There is also sounds, and who can remember the beautiful shssh of a lightsaber, or R2-D2’s innocent beep-boops, and the wonderful Darth Vader breath. All of the sounds were made by the astounding Ben Burtt. He also was the “voice” of the dear Wall-E. But he was not the one who did the Wilhelm scream. What’s the Wilhelm scream? Its that scream that you here in almost every George Lucas and Steven Spielberg movie when someone falls or gets shot. The scream is thought to first appear (But some people say it was used before) in the movie “Distant Drums (1951)” when a man behind from his group is crossing a river. A crocodile creeps up behind this man and take a bite at him. This was before the “Charge at Feather River (1953)” so it wasn’t as popular as when Private Wilhelm got shot in the leg. The scream have appeared in many Spielberg/Lucas films such as; Indiana Jones and a lot of Disney

    In New Hope Luke begins his Jedi training, they rescue Princess Leia from the empire, and Luke destroys the death star. In Empire Strikes, the rebels get defeated on Hoth, Luke trains under Yoda, and finally fights Darth Vader who turns out to be his father. And finally in Return of the Jedi, second death star is built, there’s a giant battle, Empire is defeated. In each star wars movie, starting with New Hope and ending with Return of the Jedi, it has that beginning middle and end. With all three movies in order they make that larger beginning, middle, and end that is needed for a trilogy to really come together. If a movie were to take three hours just talking the setting and the characters and then another movie would make up the middle and then a different movie would make up the end it wouldn’t be a trilogy. It’d be a so weird collection of movies that would be very boring To be a trilogy you have to have that three act structure. And together the star wars movies make a trilogy that is memorable and famous, that is talked about for years to…

    Spielberg recommended Williams to his friend George Lucas, who needed a composer for Star Wars. Williams delivered a grand symphonic score in the style of Hollywood's swashbucklers of the 1930s and 1940s. The soundtrack is still the best-selling non-pop record of all-time - and Williams won another Oscar for Best Original Score. He was also nominated for the follow-up scores for The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi. The Star Wars soundtrack is one of the most recognizable music score. Believe it or not he has not actually watched any of the Star Wars movies. He also composed the movies Jaws’ score, which earned him an Academy Award, his second win and first for Original Score,[1] and was later ranked the sixth greatest score by the American Film Institute.

    This essay will take an in-depth look at the history of Hollywood during the late 60s and early 70s. This period of time is considered to have been a renaissance for American cinema, and was titled the ‘New Hollywood’ by cotemporary critics of the time.
