December marks the 10th anniversary of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The first instalment in Disney's sequel trilogy gave fans (myself included) one of the best themes from the saga, Rey's Theme, composed by the legendary John Williams.
“I fell in love immediately with Daisy Ridley [who plays Rey]. She is just a superstar born,” Williams told the Los Angeles Times in a 2015 interview. “[The theme] suggests a female adventurer, but with great strength,” he continued. “She’s a fighter, she’s infused with the Force, and it needed to be something that was strong but thoughtful.”
The Danish National Symphony Orchestra (DNSO) performs Rey's Theme, recorded as part of the sci-fi concert Galaxymphony Strikes Back, in August 2021 at DR Koncerthuset, Copenhagen, Denmark.
“[Disney] asked me if I would do the next episode of Star Wars,” Williams told the audience at a 2016 Hollywood Bowl concert. “I thought I wanted to think about it for a minute, but then I made up my mind – because I didn’t want anybody else writing music for Rey.”
