In a nutshell, I agree with this article. When you listen to Star Wars by John Williams, you can hear influences from Holst's The Planets (ripoff NO! Influence yes), Williams, IMO, has lead the way to the new popularity of the symphony in the last few decades, and Hans Zimmer has taken it to another level.
