Melodies and Motifs: "Star Wars" Again Quiz

Answer: Duel of the Fates ("The Phantom Menace" - 1999)

"Duel of the Fates" was the major new piece created for "The Phantom Menace." It was used in all three prequel movies, as well as marketing material. They lyrics were in Sanskrit because of the quality of the sounds, though there is no actual meaning behind the lyrics.

Answer: Princess Leia's Theme ("A New Hope" - 1977)

Leia's leitmotif is first heard when she's placing the Death Star plans in R2-D2 in "A New Hope," and the first full theme is heard when Luke discovers her message. In the next movie, the song "Han Solo and the Princess" would build off this theme.

Answer: Rey's Theme ("The Force Awakens" - 2015)

Rey's theme referenced a lot of themes from the original "Star Wars" trilogy, while still being its own theme. John Williams wrote it to sound more like an adventure theme, rather than a heroic theme.

Answer: Han Solo and the Princess ("The Empire Strikes Back" - 1980)

This song is sometimes called the "Love Theme." It first played when Han Solo and Princess Leia were fixing the Millennium Falcon in the space slug in "The Empire Strikes Back," and then later when Han Solo was put in carbonite. It played again in the next movie when Leia freed Han from the carbonite.

Answer: The Emperor's Theme ("Return of the Jedi" - 1983)

This was the first song in "Star Wars" to use vocals (though no lyrics). The up-beat celebration parade song in "The Phantom Menace" is a sped-up version of the same note progression.

Answer: Battle of Heroes ("Revenge of the Sith" - 2005)

This was the major piece of music created for "Revenge of the Sith," which played during the fight between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi. It was heavily featured in promotional material for the film.

Answer: The Trade Federation March ("The Phantom Menace" - 1999)

This music is plays as the Trade Federation invades Naboo and occupies Theed, the capital city. Interestingly, it's played in the next movie, "Attack of the Clones," when Obi-wan Kenobi inspects the new clone army for the Republic.

Answer: The Asteroid Field ("The Empire Strikes Back" - 1980)

This song plays when Han Solo and Princess Leia are escaping from their base on Hoth through an asteroid field. The Star Destroyers are too big for the asteroid field, so TIE Fighters are sent after the Millennium Falcon. The track also features the "Imperial March" motif frequently.

Answer: Into the Trap ("Return of the Jedi" - 1983)

This song plays when the Rebel fleet shows up at Endor to destroy the second Death Star. Lando realizes that they had just fallen into a trap, and managed to get the Rebel fighters to pull away before smashing into the shield that was still up.

Answer: Rebel Fanfare ("A New Hope" - 1977)

The "Rebel Fanfare" is sometimes considered an Imperial fanfare because it's often played when the Empire is on screen (because the Rebels fight the Imperials). It's first heard at the beginning of the first movie when the Star Destroyer is chasing the Rebel blockade runner. It's featured at the end of the credits music of every film.
