S💛tar Wars isn’t Star Wars without John Williams. 

The legendary composer ♊changed the pop culture landscape with everything from the iconic "Imperial March" to the blast of the trumpets heard during the main theme at the beginning of every instalment in a galaxy far, far away. Creator George Lucas, though, originally had another idea according to🎃 a recent interview with Williams.

. “I said, ‘No, I have no idea who he is.’ ‘Well, he’s got this thing called Star Wars” and he wants to have… a classical score, and I’ve convinced George he should meet you.”

As it turns out, Lucas’ first vision for the music would involve “e🧸ntertaining the idea of using pre-existing classical works on the Star Wars soundtrack,” in a fashion,🍒 once pointed out in a report by , not too dissimilar to Stanley Kubrick’s use of classical music such as “Also Sprach Zarathustra” in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

While Lucas is at odds with Williams’ recollection and “through a representative, says that he never intended to use extant music in the film,” the end result is (thaꦺnkfully) ♋the same: John Williams eventually got the gig and cinema was changed forever.

But what could have been. No "ꦦDuel of the Fates", for starters, and most certainly a less memorable soundtrack in 1977’s Star Wars. But, whether it was the original plan or not, Lucas and Williams were eventually singingꦉ from the same sheet.
