Star Wars (Main Title)

"Star Wars (Main Title)" is a musical theme composed and conducted by John Williams.

The track became a hit in the United States (#10 on the Billboard Hot 100) and Canada (#13) during the fall of that year.

The composition draws influence from Erich Wolfgang Korngold's score for the 1942 film Kings Row[1] and Gustav Holst's Jupiter from his orchestral suite, The Planets.

Meco's disco version of "Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band" from his album Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk reached number one concurrently with the chart run of Williams's original movie score version.

The Star Wars main title theme was covered by Patrick Gleeson a month after the release of the London Symphony Orchestra performance.
