Most of the pod-race sequence is wisely left unscored, with the excellent sound-effects adding the necessary tension. But as the race reaches its climax, and the crowd releases their joy at the end, composer John Williams provides the required lift. On the 'Ultimate Edition' score album this scene is covered in the tracks: 'Anakin Defeats Sebulba' and 'Hail to the Winner, Anakin Skywalker'. Starring Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman, Jake Lloyd, Ian McDiarmid, Pernilla August, Oliver Ford Davies, Hugh Quarshie, Ahmed Best, Anthony Daniels, Kenny Baker, Frank Oz, Terence Stamp, Brian Blessed, Warwick David and Ray Park. Written and directed by George Lucas. Original score by John Williams.
