EXTD=2004 ''Trilogy'' Compilation)Given that it's largely credited with reinventing Hollywood--or at least fostering its overweening box office expectations--it's hard to imagine that the genesis of George Lucas' sprawling, multi-billion dollar Star Wars
EXTD=franchise was once considered a risky studio proposition at best. But Lucas himself has wisely singled out the robust, retro-romantic music of composer John Williams as the unlikely artistic linchpin that holds all of the saga's disparate dramatic, 
EXTD=thematic and technical elements firmly together. Boxed together here then are three of the most successful and influential film scores of modern Hollywood, work that draws as much on Williams' masterful sense of classical music history as it does hi

EXTD=the simplest terms possible, if you're a fan of the Star Wars movies, the soundtracks are an essential purchase. Whenthe soundtracks were rereleased on CD in 1997 and again in 2004,the tracklists were upgraded over the original vinyl versions. Each

EXTD=reatness is that many of the pieces of music are the full-length complete versions.Because of this, you get the complete piece of music, meaning you'll even hear portions of some pieces that didn't even appear inthe films (because the versions in th

EXTD=sic trilogy of films on DVD. In addition to remastering thesound and revamping the cover art of the soundtrack CDs, the record company gives this alternative option - the box set of all three soundtracks from the classic trilogy. If you purchase the
EXTD= boxset, you'll save a few bucks, so I recommend getting it rather than buying them separately. If you liked the classic Star Wars Trilogy (and honestly, who didn't?), the soundtracks are well worth adding to your CD collection. Whenever John Willia
