Don't you wish you entered a bar and this music was playing? In the film, all the aliens are just hanging out and drinking. But there's always someone who's had way too much to drink and starts a fight. Unfortunately that drunk guy lost his arm after trying to rough up Luke Skywalker.
3) Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones - Across the Stars
Williams crafted a grand love theme that captured the tragic romance between Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala. Their forbidden love will eventually lead Anakin to the dark side. Once she's gone, that's when the galaxy goes to Hell.
