Darth Vader's Theme music, composed by John Williams for 'Episode V The Empire Strikes Back' released in 1980 with video footage from Episodes IV-VI. A good example of leitmotif, a recurrent theme associated with characters or events. References to the theme can also be heard in other pieces from the soundtrack to the prequel trilogy. Also interesting to listen and hear the similarities in Mars from Holst's Planet Suite.
