John Williams really outdid himself when he composed the soundtrack for the Star Wars Prequels. This particular piece was used in Episode 1 when Queen Amidala escapes Naboo with her Jedi protectors. They manage to break through the Trade Federation blockade, but only because R2-D2 was able to repair their deflector shield generators in time.
This music was used again in Episode 2, when the Clone troopers made their dramatic and action-packed entrance to save the Jedi from the execution arena on Geonosis.
It was used yet a third time in Episode 3, when General Grievous' flagship Invisible Hand plummeted towards Coruscant after being badly damaged by several broadsides from the Venator-class Star Destroyer Guarlara.
I like this music because it gives a sense of speed, urgency, and danger. I really like it, and can imagine so many different scenarios where this music would fit. I usually imagine either a WW2 air-battle, or a two medieval galleons fighting each other while going down a massive waterfall.
What do you imagine when you listen to this?
