10 Reasons To Stop Hating Star Wars Sequel Trilogy

3. John Williams Smashed It With Rey's Theme

John Williams' remarkable scores are as recognisable a part of the Star Wars brand as Darth Vader's mask.

Without it, the series would be without its heart and soul.

So, having the mighty Williams back in the composer chair for the Sequels was a bit of a no-brainer really. And it was that call that ultimately set the stage for yet another instantly iconic theme to be born in the form of the magical Rey's Theme.

It's that terrifically built tune, one that makes you feel like you can single-handedly take down a Star Destroyer, that pretty much acts as the musical core of the Sequels, and serves as a reminder - as if you really needed one - of exactly why Williams ranks as arguably the greatest film composer of all time.

While the Sequels may not have contained quite as many instant hit themes as the Original or Prequel Trilogy, with the likes of Binary Sunset and Duel of the Fates still producing chills to this day, Rey's Theme undoubtedly still ranks as yet another piece of musical magic Williams managed to sprinkle into the galaxy far, far away.

Simply put, even the Sequels' biggest haters can't help but get lost in Williams' masterful work.
