The London Symphony Orchestra performed a majority of the score for the Star Wars films. John Williams, the composer, acted as guest conductor for the orchestra during the recordings.

Founded on June 9, 1904, in London, England, the LSO stands strong at about 100 members and regularly tours around the world. In addition to soundtrack pieces, the symphony performs classical and some pop music.

As well as working on the Star Wars score, the LSO has recorded for films such as Harry Potter and Raiders of the Lost Ark, both with scores by John Williams, along with Braveheart, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Eragon, and many others.
