I have been a Star Wars fan since the original Star Wars was released back in 1977 and was still called Star Wars and not Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. But I became a dedicated fan in 1980 when The Empire Strikes Back was released. Not only is it the best film of all six Star Wars films, but it also the best soundtrack in, dare I say it, film history. John Williams is a musical genius who can produce so many emotions with his music. And with The Empire Strikes Back he is able to express sadness, anger, loss, love, fear and tragedy with some great pieces of music. My favorite piece on this soundtrack is The Imperial March. The moment I heard that piece of music chills went down my spine. Every time I hear that piece of music I expect to see Darth Vader march down the hall. It is a strong piece of music along with the other tracks on this two CD set. This is a great addition to a CD collection along with the other Star Wars soundtracks. But if you had to buy only one, then The Empire Strikes Back is the Star Wars soundtrack to own.

Empire is my favorite Star Wars film, I'll say that now. I think the deeply emotional stories behind each character are gripping and beautifully shown. The soundtrack meets every expectation and blows you away. Each track holds unique and beautiful themes. The love story is brought into music without a flaw, the romance spread clearly through the music.
Along with the original theme for the empire (which is on disc 2 as (#1) The Imperial March and in many other tracks) and the theme generally associated with Luke (which also accompanies Obi Wan in many tracks), we see the introduction of new characters and new themes.
Track 2 on Disc 2 is Yoda's theme, a sweeping and graceful piece which acurately portrays the aging and brilliant Jedi Master through John Williams's genius. In many instances, we also see Luke's theme underwritten into this music as he learns new skills.
My favorite by far is the addition of the love theme for Han and Leia, which is written in various forms into most of the tracks (Premiring fully in Track 9 Han Solo and the Princess onm disc 1). It is a sweeping, emotional theme that touches anyone very deeply. On disc 1, track 5 The Battle of Hoth shows this them clearly near the end, as well as most of the scenes on Bespin on disc one.
We also see a collection of most of the old themes and most new ones when the characters reach Bespin, the love theme, Luke's theme, and one to fit the city itself.
The culmination of these make for a sweeping, enchanting finale where Lando and Chewie leave Luke and Leia behind.
Some of the best tracks include:
Disc 1 - Track 5 - The Battle of Hoth
Disc 1 - Track 6 - The Asteroid Field
Disc 1 - Track 9 - Han Solo and the Princess
Essentially all of Disc 2
Any fan of John Williams or Star Wars should absolutely love this soundtrack!

This is definatly a must have for any Star Wars fan. It is a great two disc set that has all the songs from Empire Strikes Back! Warning: This soundtrack is very dark and creepy. My favorite tracks are 1. Darth Vader's Theme, Yoda's Theme, Yoda and the Force, Clash of Lightsabers and "Training of a Jedi Knight/The Magic Tree". Also five stars for the production of this CD. I'm so glad John Williams went back and remixed all the songs. It brings more quallity to this fantastic 2 CD set!
Thank You John Williams for yet another fantastic effort

As with The New Hope soundtrack, The Empire Strikes Back soundtrack has a very diverse selection of music. There are many action tracks like: "The Battle of Hoth" and "The Asteroid Field." The soundtrack also includes sone of the most memorable Star Wars tracks such as: "The Imperial March" and "Yoda's theme." The music is extremely clear with no buzzes or strange noises.
Like with A New Hope, The Empire Strike Back includes over two hours of fine music and shares the incredibly cheap pricetag of 17$.

For the second installment of the Star Wars Trilogy, John Williams decided to build upon the themes he established in the first movie. For this score Williams wrote two of his most recognizable themes in cinema history: The Imperial March & the love theme Han Solo & the Princess. What makes this score so unique is that Williams' score shows a remarkable change in style. He still wrote in themes, but his maturity is much higher than it was with A New Hope. This is especially evident in Yoda's theme, where Williams takes the Jedi theme and transforms it to almost personify the aged Jedi Master. Also, Williams had to cover a wide variety of actions including a battle, a space chase, training of a Jedi, torture, and a lightsaber duel among other things. Williams is able to capture the fun, humor, angiush and tragedy of the best Star Wars movie ever made.
