The Force Theme is heard being played with a dramatic swell to the second half of the leitmotif when it is fully played with the exception of Boys Into Battle (first part of the Battle of Coruscant), The Throne Room and the End Credits for ''A New Hope'', ''Return of the Jedi'', and ''Revenge of the Sith'' (album version). Other times it turns up include but are not limited to:

  • ''The Phantom Menace'': When Anakin Skywalker leaves his mother on Tatooine , and when he escapes the Trade Federation Droid Control Ship.

  • ''Attack of the Clones'': When Anakin and Padmé Amidala are outside the Lars homestead right before The Search Montage.

  • ''Revenge of the Sith'': At the beginning, when we first see Obi-Wan and Anakin in their fighters, a militaristic version of the Theme plays, Anakin crash-landing the ''Invisible Hand'' (tracked from ''The Phantom Menace'') and the aforementioned scene with Owen and Beru. ''Revenge of the Sith'' makes use of this theme more frequently than any other movie—at least 20 different statements of the theme can be heard in the film itself.

  • ''A New Hope'': The aforementioned Binary Sunset scene (Available on the original soundtrack as 'Binary Sunset'), the Throne Room scene at the end

  • ''The Empire Strikes Back'': Yoda's "My ally is the Force " monologue in which he exhorts Luke to ignore the size of his X-wing and to trust in the ubiquity and power of the Force, and when Luke calls out to Princess Leia while hanging from a Cloud City antenna.

  • ''Return of the Jedi'': Darth Vader saving Luke and casting the Emperor into the Death Star's core, Anakin's Funeral Pyre scene



ANALYSIS


Harmonically, this theme is in a Minor Key , though it makes use of Modal Mixture and inserts a Major IV chord (see Music Theory ).

Melodically, it bears considerable resemblance to the Siegfried leitmotif from Richard Wagner 's Der Ring Des Nibelungen .
