Droid Army Attack motif: rhythmic figure in brass and percussion with lots of martial elements.Taking Off motif: a rising melody, heroic yet playful.

Sith Chant and Darth Maul's motif: whispered textures and taiko drum (?) textures.Shmi's theme: a dramatic theme with a fateful atmosphere.Jar Jar's theme: a lyrical theme in the tradition of the 'little people' themes from the original trilogy.Trade Federation March: an ominous brass and percussion march.The chorus sings a slow text (Welsh lyrics sung in Sanskrit), but a 2nd chorus also appears as staccato accents. Duel of the Fates: a choral action theme built on a Fate ostinato, with the main Duel melody on brass.Qui-Gon's theme: determined melody, somewhat martial or 'knightly'.

Anakin's theme: innocent rising melody, with hints of melancholy, and sometimes ending with a Vader theme fragment.

One of the key new themes, Anakin's theme, also contains elements of Vader's theme (appropriately enough), although as a very subtle ending fragment. Naturally, Williams created several new themes to portray this 'age of the Old Republic', and these are listed below. Since this trilogy takes place before the introduction of the main characters of Episode IV: A New Hope, the only themes from the original trilogy which are revisited in any real way are the Force theme (Ben Kenobi's theme) and the Emperor's theme (though Luke's theme naturally appears in the main title and in a few places as brief motifs). However, when the action kicks in, the music often soars to great heights, matching some of the classic moments from the original trilogy. Due to the heavy political nature of some of the plot elements in this 'prequel trilogy', the scores for Episodes I to III tend to have some long stretches of relatively subdued dynamics. As with the original trilogy, the score was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, with the main choral elements sung by the London Voices. In 1999, 16 years after 1983's Return of the Jedi, John Williams returned to score and conduct the 4th entry of the Star Wars saga, 'Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace'.
