is this original???or did somebody make it

[KidCairbre]

Yes.

[Rlotpir1972]

The best fanfare of all times. Much better with "Star Wars".

[wahhradio]

The best movie logo EVER!

May the force be with you.. Always. Obi-Wan Kenobi.

@Rlotpir1972 I know, but this is the version of the fanfare that was used in Star Wars (1977).

[Rlotpir1972]

@StarWarsFan786 23 years before the 'original' Star Wars. Alfred Newman was the composer. I think Lionel Newman, music composer for movies and TV (Batman, Green Hornet, MASH), was his son.

@KidCairbre This came first before the crocked "0"?

@IstvanN1961 The big deal is that the bigger the film, the clearer the picture, less grainy, etc. If you were to compare 8mm (home movies) and 55m film, you'd wouldn't be asking what the big deal was. The difference is like that of an entire football field vs. just the end zone, or a 30-room mansion vs. a 3-bedroom tract house.

@StarWarsFan786 No it is not. This fanfare was first used for the introduction of CinemaScope.

[IstvanN1961]

What is the big deal? 55mm is only a little over 2 inches.
