7. The Iconic Composition Ebbing In
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg_ht2GfQJU There are few opening notes as recognisable as Star Wars' operatic opening. Its various themes, compositions and subtleties are arguably long-time composer John Williams' finest work ever, so hearing it blaring over iconic locales like Hoth as you replicate famous scenes from the original trilogy is more than enough to make a Star Wars fan's day complete. The imperial march, title sequence and more all blend together perfectly to ensure that Battlefront's lasting impression is unmistakably sci-fi and tied to Williams' composition on the original three films. Whilst it's undeniable that Williams' later work on the much detested prequels still holds up, having his work on those films intersect with DICE's focus on the Galactic Civil War probably wouldn't feel appropriate given Battlefront's setting. Just hop into an AT-AT and try to resit humming the Imperial March - it's just too infectious not to.
