John Williams' Star Wars Legacy, with Dan Golding

Composer John Williams is the defining sound of Hollywood and,
arguably, the most widely listened to composer in the world. Kirk
decided he needed some help tackling Williams' towering musical
legacy, so he enlisted Australian author and musician Dan Golding
as his tour guide through Williams' musical world, with a special
focus on his groundbreaking score for 1980's Star Wars: The
Empire Strikes Back.
