In a galaxy far, far away there was really, really rad music.

Scored by composer John Williams, the music of Star Wars: A New Hope soundtracked the childhoods of an entire generation. Sink into nostalgia as the Cincinnati Pops perform the score live as Leia, Luke and Han Solo fight for the resistance on the big screen.

7-10 p.m. Friday (Sept. 7); 7-10 p.m. Saturday (Sept. 8); 2 p.m. Sunday (Sept. 9). $25-$105. Music Hall, 1241 Elm St., Over-the-Rhine, cincinnatisymphony.org.
