Attempt 2: ??
Attempt 3: Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement (Beethoven)
Attempt 4: Harry Potter theme (John Williams)
Attempt 5: Pokemon theme (John Siegler)
Attempt 6: Flight of the Bumblebee (Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov)
Attempt 7: ??
Attempt 8: Russian National Anthem (Alexander Alexandrov)

Attempt 10: Blue (Eiffel 65)
Attempt 11: Thomas the Tank Engine theme (Mike O'Donnell/Junior Campbell)

And the winner..well, you know, a chick song from a chick movie, no wonder she smiles...
Mark Hamill : "He's not my Luke Skywalker"
I honestly don't know about Lucas.
He COULD be a Tolkien-esque visionary... or he could have taken a bunch of pre-existing elements (Kurosawa, Flash Gordon, the Dam Busters) and meshed them together and lucked out with an insanely talented group of people.
I don't want to write him off (I spent 20 years idolizing him from childhood to when I finally admitted how bad the prequels were).
But I also can't ignore the argument that much of what I love about Star Wars comes not from Lucas, but from Ralph McQuarrie's art, Ben Burtt's sound, John Williams' soundtrack (with a massive nod to Holst as well), Lawrence Kasdan's dialogue and the performances of Ford, Guinness and James Earl Jones.
LOL -- even if I somewhat agree with @ant, too.
Lucas maybe doesn't get enough credit for being a genius, Tolkien-esque "world creator".
Sure seems like he was at his best when he took that creative genius and paired it up with other people (NOT yes-men) to cover screenwriting duties (anything beyond broad-strokes, particularly dialog), directing, and probably casting etc. also. Given that, I breathed a sigh of relief when he sold to Disney. Star Wars wasn't going anywhere but down with him at the helm, but I like what Disney has done with it.
Then again, what do I know? His franchise to do with as he pleased. Just so happened that *I'm* also pleased with the net result...
The Marvel Symphonic Universe
An original score and AC/DC aren't the same thing...IMO, John Williams is the most consistent and memorable cinematic composer alive today. Scores for ET, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, Goonies, Indiana Jones are all evocative.

Playing Star Wars Theme for John Williams
Turns out John Williams house is a lure for Meloetta and Chatot.
Star Wars: The Original Trilogy (Trailer)
Holy shit, that was goddamn awesome.
Part of me wishes he'd stuck with the John Williams score, but even still, that was incredibly well edited.

An artistically different take on the Star Wars trailer
Everyone who works with John Williams agrees he is a God.
Star Wars Battlefront - Luke is Unstoppable... Wait...
How'd this not get more votes, this was awesome.
Might be the music and the sound of that blaster, but star wars audio makes me skin crawl like I've been trapped in a cell and forced to listen to John Williams unbroken for years.

Star Wars: Teaser Trailer
Very cool. So, there's this story that when Lucas washed the rushes (early film edits) without music, he thought he had a total dud on his hands---it was after the iconic John Williams' musical score was added, that it suddenly fleshed out into the space opera that we know and love so much...
I wish Episodes I,II, and a good chunk of III hadn't, uh, gone astray (Jar Jar Binks must die!)---and Ewoks???
Sigh.
Still, Star Wars...
