John Williams’ score for the Sci-fi movie franchise has inspired some bold and bizarre reimaginings. We look at some of the best.

There has been an awakening, have you heard it? Tomorrow sees the Australian premiere of the highly anticipated latest installment of the Star Wars saga, The Force Awakens, and the fever-pitched excitement ahead of the blockbuster’s release could hardly be greater. The globally popular movie franchise boasts some of the most iconic images in cinema, including light-sabre duels, epic space battles and heavy-breathing baddies, but it also has one of the most recognisable scores ever written, penned by the world’s most highly revered film composer, John Williams.

The original score was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and the grand symphonic scope of its lush romanticism is often cited as heralding a revival in orchestral soundtracks for the screen. However the awesome power of Williams’ score has also inspired countless arrangements, including some truly weird and wonderful incarnations. We take a look as some of the most inventive reimaginings on the internet.
