✎ John Williams’ legendary score for Star Wars didn’t appear out of thin air. It was built on the legacy of composer Eric Wolfgang Korngold, a pioneer of the lush Hollywood symphonic sound of the 1930s and 40s. George Lucas wanted that same grand feeling for his space epic, and with Steven Spielberg’s referral, John Williams stepped in to bring it to life. The resemblance between Korngold’s *Kings Row* (1942) and the Star Wars theme is undeniable, showing how inspiration across generations can fuel timeless creativity.
✎ Korngold’s own story is just as powerful. A child prodigy from Vienna, he became a celebrated opera composer before fleeing Nazi-occupied Austria. In Hollywood, he reinvented himself, scoring classics like *The Adventures of Robin Hood* and winning Academy Awards. He transformed film scoring by treating movies like operas, assigning themes to characters and weaving music directly into storytelling. His work became the blueprint for what we now call the “Hollywood sound,” leaving a legacy that would later echo in John Williams’ iconic compositions.
✎ The bigger lesson for entrepreneurs is clear: greatness comes from building on the giants before you. John Williams modeled Korngold’s brilliance without copying, just as Steve Jobs drew from art and history to fuel Apple’s innovations. Inspiration, not imitation, is the path to creating something fresh and meaningful. Whether you’re learning from John Williams, Korngold, Steve Jobs, Sarah Blakely, or Elon Musk, the key is to study their mastery, remix it, and apply it in your own unique way. That’s how you create your own legacy and move the world forward.
