Given that this song was written (1921) well before Star Wars, (1970) I'd say there's a difference. -_-
-
this doesn't really even sound much like Star Wars. it just takes a little from a couple parts
-
@USmarinePunk i feel rebecca black's friday would be more appropriate :)
-
@Resisturgetocomment Perhaps it does sound like Star Wars, but run a search on Star TREK VI's opening theme, and you will hear a composition directly inspired by this piece in a SciFi context.

@macleod300 I like it, but there's virtually no denying it sounds like Star Wars. Take it as a compliment, even though this was much earlier than John Williams...
-
@Aaron7075 Actually he wrote it just before WWI, around 1914 I think.

Gustav Holst was a genious. I love The Plan and First Suite in Eb.
I play the Bb Clarinet for these pieces, Solo clarinet for First Suite and 1st Chair in Mars. My school may be also doing Jupiter.

of some reason it reminds me a little of this super mario song anyone else agree?

@theREALilluminaughty you know john williams did the music for the star wars films, right?... george lucas proabably approved john williams' score beforehand, but john williams would be the one to blame for the star wars soundtrack sounding exactly this- (probably) -- I suppose I can't say I know for sure though...
