The fanfare was eliminated from the studio's 70mm TODD-AO productions in the 1960's, and by the 1970's both long and short versions were used arbitrarily and inconsistently.
Star Wars reintroduced Newman's original version to the cinema-going masses, and for the sequel Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra made a new recording of Newman's extended fanfare.
