Here it is, ladies and gentlemen! My "Magnum Opus", so to be speak. This is an compilation of music from throughout the Star Wars Saga, presented in one narrative to tell the entire story from beginning to end. I've tried to include key moments from each films so that you can literally hear the movie as you listen. I hope I have succeeded! Now, this doesn't include any music from the new trilogy yet since I don't think it's right to attempt to incorporate that until after Episode IX is released.
The Star Wars Symphony
Music Composed and Conducted by John Williams
Performed by The London Symphony Orchestra and The London Voices

Movement Descriptions
Movement I: The Phantom Menace
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
On the distant planet of Naboo, a peaceful people are laid siege by the droid armies of the Trade Federation. Without the help of the Republic, a young Queen must rise up to lead her people to victory or risk being enslaved forever. With the help of two Jedi Knights, the Queen leads her people in the battle for freedom but at great cost as an ancient evil, long thought gone, rises up to confront the Jedi and reveal lurking in the shadows a phantom menace.
Movement II: Podracing
In the midst of their battle against the Trade Federation, the Jedi Knights and the Queen of Naboo, Amidala, hide away on the planet of Tatooine. There, they put their faith in the skills of a young boy, Anakin Skywalker, to save their future in the dangerous sport of Podracing. But the Jedi sense that there is something about this boy, a strength in the Force never seen before in the history of the Jedi.
Movement III: The Slave Who Became a Jedi
Having proven is powers and skills in the Force, Anakin Skywalker is taken from his mother on Tatooine to be trained in the ways of the Force by Obi-Wan Kenobi. But as great trials and tribulations haunt his path, Anakin discovers the lure of the Dark Side of the Force. Though he longs to become the greatest Jedi to ever live, his ambition may prove to be his downfall.
Movement IV: Attack of the Clones
Following the failed Trade Federation invasion of Naboo, the Galactic Republic finds itself teetering on the edge of war. Led by Count Dooku, a former-Jedi, thousands of star systems threaten to leave the Republic. With the Jedi too few in numbers to defend the Republic against the droid armies of the Separatists, the galaxy faces a devastating war.
But when the life of Padme Amidala is threatened, the Obi-Wan Kenobi begins an investigation that soon leads to the discovery of a clone army, built in secret for 10 years with the purpose of defending the Republic. This mysterious army presents an opportunity for the Jedi to defend the Republic, despite the mystery surrounding its creation.
Movement V: A Forbidden Love - Across the Stars
The life of a Jedi isn't easy. Each Jedi must follow a code that forbids them from acquiring worldly goods and wealth and from developing emotional attachments to other people. But Anakin Skywalker's committment to the Jedi way is put to the test when he's tasked with protecting Padme Amidala. As the two get to know one another, they begin to develop feelings for each other. Anakin and Padme must decide whether to set their feelings aside or embrace them, thereby keeping their relationship secret in order to preserve their lives and take them down a path that could lead to their destruction...
Movement VI: The Seduction of Anakin Skywalker
In the closing days of the Clone War, Anakin Skywalker's faith in the Jedi Order is tested as he struggles between his obligation to fulfilling his duty as a Jedi and his personal feelings to protect his wife, Padme, and their unborn child. Seeking the the console of his long-time mentor, Chancellor Palpatine, Anakin hopes to find the answers he seeks. Only, Palpatine's motives are not what they seem as he begins to tempt Anakin with the key to saving Padme, a key hidden within the ways of the Dark Side of the Force. Despite his best efforts to remain true to the Jedi, Anakin finds himself embracing the path that will help him save his family and leads to his ultimate seduction.
Movement VII: The Birth of a Dark Lord

With the Jedi Order destroyed, only two Jedi remain: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. Together, they set out to topple the Sith Lords who now rule the galaxy in an epic battle of good vs. evil. While Yoda battles Sidious, Obi-Wan faces his former-pupil, now-Darth Vader. The two battle on a volcanic world, a clash of two foes who once fought side-by-side, brother-against-brother in a fight from which only one can emerge victorious.
Movement IX: The Rebellion Against the Empire
19 years after the Sith reclaimed control of the Galaxy and the Jedi were destroyed, a small group of armed rebels emerges from the ashes of civil war to battle the evil Galactic Empire. The Rebel Alliance fights undeterred against overwhelming odds in an attempt to free the galaxy.

Movement X: A New Hope
Despite the dark days that are upon them, the Rebel Alliance finds hope in two young leaders from two different worlds. One is a princess who for a long time has used her position on the Imperial Senate to secretly support the Rebellion. The other, a farm boy on a distant world who has spent his life looking to the horizon and dreaming of other worlds.
As their two paths come together, Luke and Leia learn that not do they share a common future but that their pasts are interconnected as well. Having been secretly separated at birth when their mother died, their futures have always been destined to provide hope to a galaxy in turmoil.
Movement XI: Captain Solo and the Millennium Falcon
As a smuggler, Captain Han Solo looks out for only one person: himself. With no other motivator in his life besides greed, he sees little reason to become involved in the Rebel battle against the Empire.

Movement XII: The Empire Strikes Back
Having been defeated in the Battle of Yavin, Darth Vader and the Empire turn their full force against squashing the Rebellion and finding the young Rebel pilot, Luke Skywalker.

From this battle, only one side will survive...
Movement XVII: The Return of the Jedi

Luke risks his life to try to save his father and bring him back from the Dark Side right in front of the powerful Emperor.
