As this video shows, even Williams’s work in lesser Star Wars movies is worthy of praise and acclaim.
Last year, The Tonight Show released an a cappella medley of classic Star Wars music performed by host Jimmy Fallon, his house band The Roots, and the cast of The Force Awakens.
Though released in conjunction with this week’s release of Rogue One, it’s worth noting that the latest Star Wars movie is the first film to be scored by someone besides Williams.
That, too, was a powerful showcase of Williams’s compositional skill, that highlighted the best his scores have to offer.
