Was John Williams Inspired by Erich Wolfgang Korngold?
John Williams’ legendary score for Star Wars didn’t appear out of thin air. It was built on the legacy of composer Eric Wolfgang Korngold, a pioneer of the lush Hollywood symphonic sound of the 1930s and 40s. George Lucas wanted that same grand feeling for his space epic, and with Steven Spielberg’s referral, John Williams stepped in to bring it to life. The resemblance between Korngold’s Kings Row (1942) and the Star Wars theme is undeniable, showing how inspiration across generations can fuel timeless creativity.
