Ah, but only one of these songs brings a rush of the Jedi spirit through me every time.

John Williams heavily borrowed (as do most composers) from outside sources. This has been admitted because certain directors typically are going for some sound they have heard before. Common sources for John Williams have been Holst: The Planets, Swan Lake and Dvorak. Williams is still the best at what he does no matter where his influences come from.

Yet he won Best "Original" Score? If you borrow from other composers, there's nothing "original" about it.

Don't forget Stravinsky. There are definite elements of The Rite Of Spring used in Episode IV.

Kings Row was the film Ronald Reagan was most proud he'd been in and had it screened at his home everytime he could get a bunch of cronies together.

And fanboys still refuse to admit that Star Wars steals from other places. And then write it off as "homage" not realizing an homage is supposed to be something small. Not entire chord progressions or characters or plots. Suck it Star Wars fanboys. Yes, Star Wars isn't bad, but it's way overrated and stole from a lot.

[Jeremiah Seefeldt]

of course star wars/john williams fans will come out to defend with the note by note analysis and likeness % from such, but fail to realize that his music actually pulls from Korngold and is even used as its motif..

The one that stands out the most for me is from Puccini:
