  • The latest Star Wars so-nerdy-its-cool news: People have figured out that the Rogue One soundtrack contains a really neat "hidden" reference to the Imperial March (which some people think of as Darth Vader's theme). Although the official Imperial March is included at the end of the film -- right as you're thinking "I can't believe I just saw that" -- it is also "hidden" in the track playing just before that, when Darth Vader is busy making the best ending of a movie ever. This video plays the track called "Hope", then doubles the speed of playback, then overlays it with the Imperial March. Nerdy sleuthing! :)

      I couldn't agree more! I don't understand any SW fan who doesn't get a chill the first time they hear those two tracks mixed. Imperial March + vocals = pure gold.

    I noticed it from the first viewing of the movie. Clever. But not hidden. John Williams himself has done the same thing in the Prequels - weaving the Imperial March in and out of different themes.

      Not to mention weaving the Emperor's theme from Return of the Jedi into the parade scene from the end of The Phantom Menace.

    • @awesomeproductions7755
      @awesomeproductions7755 Před 7 lety +8

      Oh, just a quick clarification, John Williams didn't do the score for this film, it was Michael Giacchino.

  • @robertoaguirrematurana6419

    Anakin's theme fits perfectly with the imperial march (Darth Vader's theme), I was expecting to see the transformation of one theme into the other, paralell to Anakin's transformation in Vader.

  • @blackpowerdiva4958
    @blackpowerdiva4958 Před 5 lety +18

    These people saying they heard it out right are lying. 🙄
    🎵🎵🎵
    I’m a semi-trained ear; a part of the music community. And I did NOT instantly make that connection. Because the progressions varied & it’s not straight forward. AND I AM A SW FAN for days!
    You guys just THINK saying “it’s not hidden” & supposedly “I heard it right away” makes you look cooler & a bigger fan than thou type of thing.
    ANYWAY, the score for that part is A M A Z I N G & we know coming up with something to stick on John Williams coattails ain’t easy. He’s the fucking Bach of our times.
    So this stands up to that challenge. Michael is da man!

    • @fluffytoaster427
      @fluffytoaster427 Před 4 lety +2

      Agreed dude. That being said, I’ll make another point on why no one noticed the arrangement their first time: they were marveled at the events playing out on screen and having a nerdgasm like the rest of us lol

    • @darksideofthemood
      @darksideofthemood Před 4 lety

      I would like to disagree on this one. Not because of your background in music, that i do not challenge. However, i will tell you as much; i got into Star Wars not even a month ago and have associated seeing Vader on-screen with the Imperial March. Everytime i see him it plays in my head and i start humming it whether there is music or not. During the hallway scene, my thoughts went directly to the March and it happened to fit with Hope.
      Sometimes context and personal views help people see things.
      We can all come to the same conclusion with different point of view, that's why art is art.
