The theme is hinted at in the funeral music of Qui-Gon Jinn, which is brought back in Episode III. It can also be heard when Obi-Wan uses the Force to summon his master's lightsaber and slay Darth Maul, during the climactic lightsaber duel in the Theed Royal Palace.

The theme is much audible during Anakin's test before the Jedi Council on Coruscant Yoda tells him that the fear Anakin feels could Iead him to the dark side of the Force. As Anakin leaves Tatooine to become a Jedi, the theme comes in an outburst as he leaves his mother. It plays again when Qui-Gon advises Anakin just before the podrace and when Shmi tells him Anakin has no father. As Vader is burned, the theme is reprised as he passes into the Force.Īt the beginning of Episode I The Phantom Menace, the theme accompanies Qui-Gon Jinn trying to cut through the Trade Federation's door.

In Episode VI Return of the Jedi, when Luke asks Leia of her memories of her real mother, "The Force Theme" is played. "The Force Theme" can again be heard when Leia hears her brother's words. As Luke calls to Leia as he hangs from the bottom of Cloud City, Leia hears him through the Force, a unique ability for someone who is untrained. In Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, it plays when Luke grabs his lightsaber using the Force in the wampa's cave, when the Rebels are retreating from the AT-AT walkers, when Yoda reveals himself as the Jedi Master Luke had been looking for, and then several times on Dagobah. Lastly in A New Hope, the theme plays twice during the victory celebration scene. Later in the film, the theme plays as Luke comes upon his burning homestead and when a TIE fighter chases him during the battle over the Death Star, It once again starts near the end of this battle, when Obi-Wan Kenobi starts talking to Luke. It was introduced in Episode IV A New Hope when Princess Leia Organa gives R2-D2 the Death Star plans, but its most prominent inclusion was in the scene where Luke Skywalker gazes out to the twin suns of Tatooine.
