What are the primary scales used in the star wars theme?

Im writing a metal version of star wars, with solo. If you can tell me the major scale(s) or any other scales used, it would be greatly appreciated. I will find the corresponding minor scale for the major scale if there is one, so there's no need to tell me the minor scale unless that's the only one you know. ThanksWhat are the primary scales used in the star wars theme?The piece of music is in the key of G. It starts on the g chord then to c and back to g.

melody goes: ddd g d* cba g* d* etc

The chords are G C D7 and there is an F chord on the end in the first section.

The bass line walks down a scale from G, going G F# E D C B A G C B A G F and repeats.



The next section has a C chord in the upper part but there is a D in the bass (yes at the same time) the chord on the end of that section is a Bb chord.



the next part uses a C minor scale but the right hand starts on g and walks down G F Eb etc and the left hand starts on C and walks up C D Eb etc



Then it just plays section A again (the part thats in G)



Ta Da!!



All the best
