The ultimate Star Wars showdown, take 2. After taking out the official main theme, the Imperial March now takes on the unofficial main theme of the Star Wars saga.

Like before, the semifinals will run 3 days initially, longer if there's a close poll.

You weak-minded fools! John Crichton is using an old Jedi mind trick!

If the president does it it's not illegal.

Dick. :rolleyes:

Cheney?

Well, his political career did begin during that administration. :) And hopefully that's as far as we'll go with this discussion.

I would've thought it would go the other way. Perhaps it's because the Force theme is more versatile. Its moments of grandeur (Throne Room), reflection (double sunset) and beauty (Vader's Funeral; Luke pages Leia under Bespin) provided more opportunities for Williams to flex his musical muscle than with the Imperial March. With that theme, we did have moments of grandeur, pomp, and raw sinisterness, but there were less opportunities to be creative or spread the theme out. Aside from Vader's death, the only opportunities for the Imperial March to be flexed into another mood usually required its transmogrification into another theme, i.e. Anakin and Across the Stars.

The Imperial March loses because it's absent from IV and most of the prequel trilogy, while the Force theme is ubiquitous to every Jedi and Jedi sympathizer seen onscreen. There is only one Vader but there were many Jedi.

Yes, I know, everything I wrote above is BS.
