I asked ChatGPT

What is considered Jerry Goldsmith's finest film score?

It responded

Another highly regarded score by Goldsmith is for the 1977 film "Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope," directed by George Lucas. Although John Williams is often credited with the iconic music of the Star Wars franchise, it was actually Goldsmith who was originally approached to compose the score for the film. However, due to creative differences, Goldsmith's score was ultimately rejected, and Williams was brought on to compose the music instead.


Wow, can't wait to hear this one.

Ha! ChatGPT knows what it's doing and is trying to incite nerd rage among us. That is an interesting "What If" that has surely run through the minds of all of us soundtrack geeks at some point.
