The Prequels have the best music of all 3 trilogies.

I still give a slight edge to the originals but the prequels have very, very good music. Much better than the sequel trilogy.
Other than the fact that the main refrain that everyone remembers from Duel of the Fates was STOLEN from old Shaw movies, sure.
The prequels have "Across the Stars" which automatically makes it close. But the originals still outpace them overall.
I also want to add, just in case no one else does, that the sequel trilogy may have the weakest music overall but there are a fair few excellent tracks in there nevertheless.

Yeah. I reached this conclusion recently. Once my nostalgia googles were off regarding the OT and I revisited the music from all the trilogies there is no mistaken that Williams really had his foot in the Prequels. The Prequels might not have turned out great but it's clear at least to me that Williams was buying what Lucas was selling and he did not phone it in.
I think the OT has the overall best soundtracks but Duel of the Fates and Battle of the Heroes are the best individual Star Wars songs ever IMO.
rey's theme is pretty good.
duel of the fates was so strong that when i was a teenager and heard someone playing the soundtrack, i didn't recognize it from the prequel trilogy, but i immediately picked up on it being 'star wars'.
Rey's theme was memorable and vintage Williams and it was clear not just from hearing it but from hearing him in interviews he was excited to write and inspired by her introduction. After that......
Prequels have a couple of really great, standout tracks like Duel of the Fates and Across the Stars, but the OT is just stacked top to bottom with iconic, timeless music.
The Star Wars main theme
Binary Sunset
Imperial March
Emperor's Theme
Yoda's Theme
Asteroid Field
Luke and Leia
Leia's Theme
Han and the Princess
Cloud City
Throne Room
Battle of Endor
etc.
I mean, come on. Don't be silly.

I feel like it's easy to take the Originals for granted because we've all grown up with it, but the whole thing is pretty much hit after hit.
The prequel scores are still great. And the ST stuff still is pretty good even. The Jedi Steps and the Spark are both really great tracks, in addition to Rey's theme.

Remember when they used Duel of the Fates in TROS trailer but then it was no where in the movie? :/
I mean I know it was just a trailer but I swore they mentioned them using music from all of the trilogy in that movie...

I was watching some Olympic Ice skating about 15 years ago and I started to hear this music in the background but not from the tv and it was the most epic skating I have ever seen.
Bullshit, imperial March alone gives it to the OT
PT music is very good though and then ST music is dead last

Just so we are clear, John Williams Theme from Superman is the greatest song in film ever.
Yeah, the kung-fu flicks. I'm having trouble finding a link at the moment. Because it's Shaw, it pops up in several movies, but I remember it most as the chase music from Avenging Eagle.

Say less. I haven't watched Kung Fu movies in some time, this is as good a reason as any.
i legit don't remember any prequel music besides duel of fates, across the stars, and the music from when anakin and obi wan fight in revenge of the sith
while good pieces of music, none of which were actually associated with good moments on the screen. you have the obi wan and qui gon overly choreographed lightsaber fight, the horrendous climax of anakin and padme's """"romance"""' in clones, and the goofy, 45 minute long cgi fuck fest.
meanwhile, i still get chills watching rey go up those steps to meet with luke at the end of TFA. jedi steps actually made me feel something.
OT > ST > PT
it's the imperial march and while the superman theme is indeed great, Star Wars, Empire and Jedi's soundtrack as a whole shits on Superman 1978

Imperial march, Yoda's theme, Leia's theme, Luke's theme, and the fucking MAIN Star Wars theme.
John Williams himself would pick the OT. It's not even debatable.
