Film Score and More | Is Marion's Theme Not A Love Theme? @FilmScoreandMore | Uploaded August 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Marion's Theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark is less a theme for Marion Ravenwood and more a theme for her relationship, her romance with Indiana Jones. This is an analysis of what makes it so, how it's similar to Leia's Theme and Han Solo and the Princess from Star Wars, and why it's different from other John Williams love themes.
