Dave, you have got a serious problem. As I have said before and now you have confirmed it: John Williams writes great themes, as the imperial march. And again, "Williams has more original themes in this one score than Horner's had in his entire life", excellent Dave, you have confirmed the second time what I wrote in my first statement concerning episode IV. Now I can discredit you. I agree, he has written excellent and memorable themes, but that's it, only themes, nothing more. That's why Horner is the better composer to me. Maybe Horner hasn't written as many great themes as Williams has, but they are great. His scores viewed as a whole are more listenable and enjoyable in my opinion than to ones done by Williams.
