: : You IndyFans know about Marion's theme in Raiders, don't you? Did you ever notice that it sounds very similar to the piece of music at the very end of Empire Strikes Back. As great as those themes are, why did John Williams choose to rip off his own music when he scored Raiders. Give me your feedback here.

: It could have to do with the fact that Williams wrote the two pieces of music very close together, between 1980-81.

: Aragorn

: It may have been unavoidable. In addition to Aragorn's observation about the timing, I must add that musical composition at the symphonic level is extremely difficult. Talk about your writer's block. And he was undoubtedly working under a severe deadline to finish the score. -MP
