So there is a reason why this theme could have been sped up for the games. When you are listening to slow music subconsciously you move slower and when you are listening to more up tempo music you tend to move faster. Video games are designed to have a certain pace and cadence. By speeding up the Imperial March they are actually helping you as the player.
@@TheLegendOfLame In this context it's guaranteed to be a fast paced game. I don't know of a single Star Wars game that's not rather fast paced except for the KOTOR games.
I remember this speed was always used in games and movies before 2010s. Even back in old Battlefront 2, when u were winning you got faster version than the official soundtrack gave. ITs so much better this way!
This version is like a never-ending assault, an endless stream of troopers adorned by pristine white armor marching forward in triumphant glory. The original is more like an impending sense of dread

The Imperial March without being altered is quite simply designed to be a march...they're slow and meant to keep troops in line and in rhythm with each other, easy to follow. This is more like you're either an Imperial gearing up for battle, or a Rebel knowing they're heading straight for you and its time to get ready to fight. Either way, its a damn good song.
Not to be pedantic, but both versions are simultaneously too fast and too slow for a march. Modern military marches tend to be ~120 BPM, whereas the Romans used 60 BPM - which we carry on with for funerals. This clocks in at 108 BPM, where the original is 103.

“They came upon us thick and fast. Ten or maybe two dozen of them at a time. For most of the rebels here it was their first time in war. Only a few of us had actually fought Imperial Stormtroopers!”
I like this version, especially the added variations. I think, though, the original slower tempo conjures the huge, heavy, inexorable power of the Empire. I envision the AT-ATs trudging ahead and the Star Destroyers forming up. They may be slow-moving, but you better not wait until they get here. Mood is a bit darker and scarier. In yours they sound like they could be the good guys, like what the Storm Troopers would listen to at a mission rally. Kind of in line with the modern stories of Vader as anti hero. What bpm are the original and the arrangement?
I like to think that the Imperial March is not an actual song in universe; rather, it's a nightmarish distortion of the national anthem of the Empire. Go find a video of the song being played in a major key for an idea of what the "original" we've never heard might sound like...
I would like a version where the notes are drawn out by like 1000%. Slow with the note held for suspense, as if you were in a horror movie and Vader was the monster stalking you, just skirting around at the edge of your vision.
This is where the first order and the separatists failed in the sequels and prequels. The empire is so intense and so intimidating they truly are the the ultimate villains. Each stormtrooper is the same without a name or a face. The imperial march complements that sense of fear really well. Such a great villainous force.
@@jojbenedoot7459 I'd go one step further and say that without the actions of Sidious and Dooku, the Separatists would have been the Good Guys. It was all, at the end of the day; a massive game of chess played by just one man. Millions of lives, billions of credits, thousands of worlds scarred for generations all because Sidious wanted to install himself as the emperor of a galactic Empire.
This is the best theme of all time. No other song can make me feel such fear and adrenaline mixed into one emotion. I love how it also makes the listener feel a weird sense of patriotism especially in this sped up version, almost like a national anthem being played after a war victory.
The normal version is Vader walking down a corridor with his lightsaber in his hand, ready to end a life This version is like a whole army of stormtroopers flying an Imperial flag after winning a battle
Okay, but like, you could have made it 0.25 speed and it would still a. Be probably the most recognizable Star Wars theme, and b. Have sounded perfect. Doesn't matter what speed it is, it's still just kinda the best.
Star Wars ha so many other memorable and epic themes like the Main Theme, Cantina Band, The THrone Room Duel of the Fates, Battle of the Heroes, etc... But yeah, Imperial March will always remain as inmortal theme, there is a video that some years ago reached beyond 100.000.000 views. John Williams is a music genius.
All those people saying 'Ah, yes, this is the perfect marching speed!' How long can you keep that quickstep up?! The original is at a correct marching speed, around 75bpm. This is a quickstep that can't be maintained for more than a brief period. tl;dr people saying 'perfect march speed' have clearly never had to march in step for any great distance.
@@Jr-tr3bq ...That qualifies as a brief period. Prior to our current motorized era, troops were expected to be able to keep up a march for much of the day. The more of you who say things like 'Oh yeah we can do that for 7-8 minutes,' the more you reinforce that no, this is not a 'proper march speed.' Call me when you can go twenty miles per day at this pace (considered pretty average for marching troops, with a few outliers going as high as thirty-five in special conditions); I want to watch. I doubt I'll have to move my chair more than two or three times.
@@Jr-tr3bq Then I'm not sure where you're going with your statement, because I admitted it was doable for a short time ("This is a quickstep that can't be maintained for more than a brief period."), but it's not a proper march cadence that can be maintained for hours. Saying 'Oh yes! It's not impossible for 7-8 minutes!' is supporting the wrong half of the argument. Can you march to it for a few minutes? Sure. You also can run for an hour or more if you've trained hard for it. That doesn't mean that running to 198bpm would make 198bpm a 'perfect march speed.'
The is only 1 issue, the Imperial Stormtroopers appear to be holding a different weapon than the E11 Standard issue blaster Rifle [the main weapon a stormtrooper used] in the background Still a great vid and I love the music, keep it up.
This piece will always be special to be because as a joke one day my brother hyped up a radio station that only played classical music and orchestra pieces and right when he turned the station over to it the Imperial march started. Good times.
The concert suite version on the soundtracks is slower. This is pretty much at the same pace heard in the theatrical release of The Empire Strikes Back when the Imperial Fleet makes it's reveal. Great job, kid.
@@BrianBisetti Almost. Listen again. Compare the soundtrack version with what's actually heard in the movie. The movie version is slightly faster than the soundtrack version. And yes, it was mixed in with the original 'Aboard the Executor' theme. I think that entire piece would've been a better fit for that scene. But that's just my preference! 🤗

The thing about the Imperial March is that Troopers would MARCH to the beat. Every beat is a footstep, and the original keeps a stable, marching pace. The pace on this is like speed walking.
There's a brief section of the Imperial March played fast in EMPIRE when the first transport is launching and the Imperial Star Destroyer moving to intercept is approaching Hoth "Good, our first catch of the day."
The speed it was at was already perfect... it's a march, so it's meant to be played at a tempo within the andante range (73-77bpm), as this is the speed that one walks, or in this case, marches.
This is the same speed as found in Galactic Battlegrounds which was a Star-Wars reskin of Age of Empires 2. The songs that were slow were slightly sped up to be entertaining for the player while slowly grinding away at obnoxiously slow build times.
The funny thing is I wanted a faster version and I couldn't find any on youtube to listen to. Therefore I made one and uploaded it to listen to it whenever I wanted to and the video just exploded thx to youtube algorithm.

It's slow because it's a "March". You could probably "jog" to it at this speed.
Good, now what we SHOULD do is slow it down to perfection! That would really make it perfect!
This is the same speed as found in Galactic Battlegrounds which was a Star-Wars reskin of Age of Empires 2. The songs that were slow were slightly sped up to be entertaining for the player while slowly grinding away at obnoxiously slow build times.
Thanks for making this. I agree, it sounds much better this way.
The funny thing is I wanted a faster version and I couldn't find any on youtube to listen to. Therefore I made one and uploaded it to listen to it whenever I wanted to and the video just exploded thx to youtube algorithm.
@@LtOwl The force is with you.
I approve this.
1x: their victory chant
1.15x: what they hear when training
0.75x: what rebels canonically hear when stormtroopers fighting
1.5x: what the protagonists hear when stormtroopers fighting
This feels like the right pace for some reason
Never gets old
Hchdhcu
masterpiece.
"Congratulations you killed all the rebels, lets do a victory dance" 🕺
