I'm not really inclined to pay money to see Revenge of the Sith at the cinema again...
It is bizarre, though, how associated with Star Wars the fanfare is in my mind. When VHS technology became widespread enough that the trilogy was released on video, I'd watch one or other of them every weekend for years, and the fanfare and the opening titles theme is one single piece of music in my head.
I hear you! I was watching a Fox movie last weekend, and when that Fanfare began, I was primed for Star Wars (even though that wasn’t what I was watching).
I think it’s interesting that Newman composed so many pieces of music - and it’s those 20 seconds that most people would know.
So I have never been a big Star Wars fan, and I will fully admit that I’ve never seen all of the movies. But I do appreciate the music very much, especially this coming weekend because… May the FOURTH be with you!
I was confused because my mind instantly went here first: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_E._Neuman
Sigh.
I know! Same! I don’t know if the guy from Mad magazine was that musical… 😉

Totally, my brain always thinks that fanfare will be followed by the familiar crawl
