Watch the opening of Star Wars using Gustav Holst’s The Planets as the score

We all know how iconic the John Williams score is for Star Wars.

However, a couple of years ago Steven Caraher decided to change things up. He used elements of Gustav Holst’s Planets Suite and added it to the opening and closing scenes of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

I’d never seen this until now and it works extremely well.

Check it out below.
