Oh, John Williams, you genius, you... So, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is a divisive movie. But if we can be sure of anything, it's that John Williams' original score for the film is some of his best work. And perhaps no new track in The Phantom Menace was more phenomenal and downright memorable than Duel of the Fates, the epic choir piece that's previewed during the lightsaber battle with Darth Maul near the end of the film. Today, I'm gonna talk a bit about what makes the song so fantastic, and how John Williams went about creating it for the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
