One of the musical pieces in Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, played during several stages, incorporates an up-tempo variation of the Emperor's theme as its bridge. In 1999, "The Emperor's Theme" was the background music for the television commercials for The New Jedi Order: Vector Prime. It is played when Yoda, Mace Windu, and Obi-Wan Kenobi discuss Palpatine's intentions prior to Yoda leaving for Kashyyyk after Sidious bestows upon Anakin the title of Darth Vader, and when the Emperor rescues Vader from Mustafar. The theme is most prevalent in Revenge of the Sith. It is also heard in the scene towards the end when Count Dooku approaches The Works on Coruscant and meets with Sidious. In Attack of the Clones, "The Emperor's Theme" is heard in the Lars' garage scene where Anakin confesses to Padmé about his slaughter of the Tusken Raiders. A variation of the theme in a major key, Symponik Nabooalla, is also heard during the parade scene in Theed. In The Phantom Menace, "The Emperor's Theme" is heard whenever Darth Sidious speaks to Nute Gunray.
Portions of it also played when he was torturing Luke Skywalker before meeting his demise at the hands of the redeemed Anakin Skywalker.
It is an incredibly dark vocal piece performed by a foreboding male choir, thematically representing the pure evil that is Palpatine. It is first heard in the scene when Palpatine arrives on the second Death Star, and later is heard in several scenes taking place in the Emperor's throne room. It was composed by John Williams and first appeared in the film Return of the Jedi. " The Emperor's Theme" is a recurring musical theme of the Star Wars movies.
