That is all.
For anyone interested in Star Wars music, I would recomend Star Wars, A Musical Journey, a DVD that came with the Episode 3 soundtrack. Its basically a bunch of montages with the music and clips from the movies.
Here is a review:

The bad thing is that there’s really nothing new from this set. It’s a rehash of the 1997 2 disk versions for the OT and bits and pieces of the PT’s music. I really wish they would release the 2 disk versions for Ep II and III. There was so much great stuff they had to cut out to make it fit on one disk.
John Williams does a concert at Tanglewood in Massachusetts every year, with the Boston Symphony. A couple of years ago he did a suite of Star Wars music, narrated by James Earl Jones, also in person, accompanied by a montage of Star Wars clips on the big screen !! It was awesome !! Steven Spielberg was there and said hi to everyone as well from the stage…but the music, ahh, the music. A couple of years prior to that Williams conducted the “Duel of the Fates” live, with a full chorus along with the orchestra…Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up !! If you guys ever get a chance to see him conduct live, it’s a real treat.
Oh my gosh, I would probably do anything short of murder or selling my soul to get a chance to see him live and especially just of him doing Star Wars music. Heck, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up just listening to his stuff on my iPod, so I can only imagine how awesome it is in person. Man, stuff like “Battle of the Heroes”… it just doesn’t get any better than that.
