@adragonro The first part is the basis for the Blockade Runner scene and the Rebel Fanfare, the Death Star leitmotif resembles the part at 2:28, and the Death Star's destruction music is lifted from the ending.
The image on the vid says arrangement on two pianos... but I think that the piano duet was the original instrumentation when Holst composed this, then the orchestration came later.
@DekuScrub3 In 2000, the Hallé Orchestra commissioned the English composer Colin Matthews, an authority on Holst, to write a new eighth movement, which he called "Pluto, the Renewer". Dedicated to the late Imogen Holst, Gustav Holst's daughter, it was first performed in Manchester on 11 May 2000, with Kent Nagano conducting the Hallé Orchestra. Matthews also changed the ending of "Neptune" slightly so that movement would lead directly into "Pluto"
