Maestro, Some Theme Music!
Conductor John Williams capped the session with a rousing rendition of the saga's most recognizable and beloved theme music. His appearance during the event was pulled off in truly dramatic fashion, with a curtain rising from a side stage to reveal the composer with his baton and orchestra in tow. The musicians immediately began to perform "Princess Leia's Theme." The audience's initial silence soon gave way to audible sniffles.
