The new fanfare has replaced the iconic 20th Century Fox 'Star Wars' opening, which has played before each release since 1977, in the new digital releases.

The Fox fanfare was very much tied up in 'Star Wars' history, which was originally composed in 1933 by Fox music director Alfred Newman, John Williams composed the' Star Wars' Main Title in the same key, effectively making the theme itself an extension of the fanfare, the Verge reported.

The new score would now accompany all 'Star Wars' films going forward, with the only exception being the original film, which 20th Century Fox still hold distribution rights for.
