The 20th Century Fox Fanfare is a musical piece played to accompany the 20th Century Fox logo when it was displayed during the opening of the movie studio's feature films. The fanfare has been played before each live action Star Wars film.
The 20th Century Fox Fanfare was composed in 1933 by Alfred Newman, the then head of Fox's music department. In 1954, an extended version was created for CinemaScope films, and debuted on the film The Robe.
In the mid-to-late 1970s, the 20th Century Fox logo had all but been phased out. However, Lucas enjoyed the logo and Alfred Newman music so much that he insisted it be used for his Star Wars films. The fanfare and logo have, since then, enjoyed a rebirth in usage.
