But composer Ilan Eshkeri\'s selection of a few themes for Stardust works. Stardust\'s story is simpler, not as epic, and doesn\'t lend itself to such an intricate set of themes. Lord of the Rings is so thematic that once you are familiar with the score(s), if you listen to a track randomly you can tell what is happening in the movie, or at least what the setting is, based on the theme and tone of the music. Also, both these films use this magical soundscape either to introduce or as part of a complex set of themes, which Stardust as a film doesn\'t require. Stardust, by sound here, is most similar to The Time Machine it differs from Hook and Lord of the Rings in tone: Hook is often fanfare-ish, and Lord of the Rings tends to be darker, while Stardust is fairly lighthearted.

What is it about moving string lines, French horn and oboe solos, and tinkling piano that signals you\'re entering a different, magical world? With the use of these sounds, Stardust\'s "Prologue (Through the Wall)" joins the company of The Time Machine (Badelt), Beauty and the Beast (Menken), Hook (Williams), Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\'s Stone (Williams), and all three Lord of the Rings films (Shore). Is it unfair, or is it expected, to compare the score for a fantasy film to Howard Shore\'s Lord of the Rings? To me - and I am not alone here - this trilogy as a whole is a five-star score, so in a sense, such a comparison is really just a more specific way of giving a rating out of five stars.
