Those are some great choices, Bim! And from the recent Star Trek press conference, sounds like we'll be getting some more Williams greatness! t:

Really? enlighten me! I havent heard anything. Did JJ hint at Williams returning?

 

[Spider-Gnome]

You didn't hear? I saw it at theforce.net and they are mentioning it in the Episode VII General Discussion here. At a press conference for Star Trek, JJ Abrams stated that he believes John Williams will be doing the score as he has been on this a lot longer than himself.

[Bim]

I hadnt seen it... YESSS!!!!!

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I've been listening to the scores by Williams lately. My favorite music comes from the PT. Don't get me wrong, all six scores are brilliant, and the PT had the convenience of the foundation of these themes being built already. Here's some of my favorite (unreleased) cues.

Episode 2:

Shmi's Funeral
[YT]B8SXcLbRvW8[/YT]

Anakin Changes
[YT]KxD3BWpW_Lk[/YT]

Heroes Collide (Anakin vs. Obi-Wan on the OST), Film Mix. There's better versions out there, but this is the best youtube video I could find.
[YT]zGx6Hm63yg[/YT]

Plans for the Twins & Padme's Funeral
[YT]wyqjcoYImVg[/YT]

There's way more great music unreleased, but for now, these are some of my favorite tracks.
