    Return of the Jedi

    John Williams Return of the Jedi

    13. Return of the Jedi

    For the third and final instalment of the original Star Wars trilogy, John Williams once again teamed up with the London Symphony Orchestra to deliver a lush and epic score. Although lacking anything as timeless as the Imperial March, such moments as Parade of the Ewoks and The Forest Battle mark Return of the Jedi as yet another extremely strong John Williams score. Like the two Star Wars films before it, John Williams was nominated for an Academy Award for his work.
