The final episode in the Star Wars sextology, and John Williams and the LSO rocket to the occasion. Notable are Anakin’s Dream, a violin melody full of sad wonder, and key theme Battle of the Heroes, one of several quasi-religious, choir-topped soul-stirrers. Every major motif from the previous films gets a curtain call too. Star Wars buffs in internet chat forums are welling up over their MP3 players; come the magnificent closing fanfare you’ll understand why.
