source Source: "The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)" from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (Lucasfilm, 1980), composed by John Williams. Introduced as a leitmotif for Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire; has appeared in every subsequent Star Wars film. Use case: park your Tesla and let the Dark Side know you've arrived. Trivia: Williams modeled the Imperial March on the tradition of 19th-century march music — particularly Chopin's "Funeral March" and Holst's "The Planets" — creating a theme that felt simultaneously classic and sinister; it was the first piece of music Williams wrote for The Empire Strikes Back.
